I totally agree with you and the solution you are suggesting @beanz
I am not sure it will work, but it is worth trying as it can change steemit once and for all.
When I joined steemit,I had no idea what it is and how does it work.
I saw an ad on Instagram on somewhere else which said that you will get paid for doing posts, comments and the other stuff but nobody explained to me that how it works and what rules I have to follow.
It took me around 2months to understand what steemit is and how to survive here.
I am glad that I didn't quit in frustration.
The problem is that minnows don't understand what steemit is and they join and want to make quick money and that results leasing steem power from the whales and using it on their own shit posts.
Some minnows however work hard for their post and earn few cents and get frustrated with the system.
The thing is everybody needs to understand steemit before joining it.
I disagree that the minnow shit posts are the problem but I appreciate the comment. Certainly expectations should be managed, but at the same time, no user should have to wait forever to start making money. Alternatively to creating content, I think curating should be something they can make money from even if they can't invest. 4 eyes are better than 2.
I never said minnow shit posts are a problem, what I meant was that upvoting those shit posts is a problem.
I appreciate you replied to my comment.
OK well that's what I meant I disagreed with. A shitpost can be any post somebody didn't like for one reason or another including this one downvoted by berniesanders and listed on his why you got flagged post.
This attack on the smaller users for the small amounts they are getting for what maybe doesn't deserve the $20 is just way to set us all against each other while the real perpetrators walk out with all the money. Divide and conquer. A genius way to distract us from what's really going on.
Oh, thank you for clearing this.
I had some other definition of shit posts in my mind.
Divide and conquer, that sounds good 😂
Divide and Rule sounds good too!!
