RE: Why I Think Steemit Will Die
I have to agree here...If you say you were'nt here for the money...then why leave Facebook?...Or just stick it out on Youtube?...This platform is loaded with downvoting Flaggers that think they are helping the chain...what is happening here is a lot of people think THEIR posts are the BEST...and want to cash in on the 'gold mine'...but what you get is the 'shaft'...you NEED followers who actually upvote to really make steem...OH! Your posts can't be too controversial!...You want to garner VOTES!...This turns the blockchain into a 'beauty pagent' where the popular votes win even if they are 'crap on a cracker'...What do I like about Facebook? When somebody is going against you because they don't LIKE you all you have to do is hit 'block' and they disappear from your feed! Voila! That's why trolls hate it! They can have a 'field day' here, & it stays there permanently! Flagging is a useless practice of 'futility' here because all it does is hurt you! I already do a lot on Facebook anyway...I was trying out Steemit for the hell of it because the lure of monetary value was incentive...now I wonder about that! Good Post! I will upvote it!
Thank you for the upvote.
I personally don't mind the trolls and will never mute anyone. I don't think they realize the damage they are doing, most I would say even think they are helping.
lol, the crap cracker beauty pagent metaphor is perfect!
the down vote wouldn't matter much if it didn't affect your rating. then people could be as offencive as they want and people that don't like it could only show they don't like it without hurting the poster of the comment. I personly would be proud if I made a post that got 500 down votes but 20 ups and it didn't affect my payout.
I have been saying since the beginning of my journey... lol, three days. The way the voting system is weighted it is more like fishing than mining.
I have never seen a currency based on a few people's arbitrary opinion reward the fishers, I meant miners. I think they have some time to fix this.
the value of the currency has nothing to do with the quality of the posts, only thing that matters is making more blocks.
I don't know the ins and outs or sideways of Steemit, but I love the honesty of your post and appreciate having someone like you around. H. Vale
