It is like an auction. They wouldn't be able to upvote their posts that much if there was enough pull in other directions, that is upvotes, from people, from bots, for other posts, as the rewards pool of Steem is limited and mathematically, hypothetically, maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but maybe someday better posts will trend more and more that is as Steem grows and assuming that better posts can outnumber the other posts, and assuming that those better posts can somehow be voted on more often, by people, bots, whatever, and that kind of happens already at times, and it is a tug-a-war match going back and forth.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Eh, I've just learned a good while back that the front page just doesn't have quality posts, ever. You have to actually go into Steemit based discord servers that have a "Self Promotion" category to find the good stuff much of the time. Would be superior actually to have newest posts period on the front page instead. At least that way it's always changing and always fresh.
Yeah, that would probably be a better way of doing it.
