RE: The Future of Steemit

in #steemit6 years ago

I think his Content is very useful because i am new to Crypto and i can't do some TA by myself now. Because of his Post for Verge i made 2000 $ from 90 $ - I think that's awesome ! They are so many useless Post here on steemit that earns also a lot of money. Just my opinion. BTW these berniesanders bots just downvoted me because i like haejin's Content. This is ridiculous...

Wow, if that happened, things are getting really bad.

Personally I think that if Steem Power is the measure of vote value, nobody should complain why someone is getting more from the rewards pool and why others get less.
My SP is My SP and I will spend it based on my subjective views.
Why don't we take a look at other Steemit posts where rewards are small, but these junk post combined are quite a lot in rewards.
If steemit is decentralized network, everybody has a right to upvote or downvote.
The balance will come just like in the economics - Demand and Supply create the equilibrium price.

Upvotes and Downvotes will create the equilibrium by itself. There is no need to declare a war or post long philosophical post about how @haejin or @randowhale or @anyone-else is acting.

All of the above is my subjective opinion and you may downvote it as well as upvote it.

Wow, if that happened, things are getting really bad.

This has been happening for weeks, man. I'm not sure if @themarkymark is aware of this or not. This is basically tit-for-tat childish nonsense that bernie kicked off weeks ago. Both groups need to pull their fucking heads in and stop with the childish bullshit. Vote each others stuff into oblivion, but just stop with the collective punishment.

Nothing would be better for us minnows than for the whales to flag each others VP to nothing every day.

We'd get more than $.02 payouts then.

:)

True that!

What's a whale but someone who brings a disproportionate amount of attention to the platform? Minnows don't bring me here, whales do. If you want to be a whale, and get whale-sized payouts, bring whale-sized value in your content. Dragging everyone down just so you don't look so small (relatively speaking) just makes everyone lose. It's not like @Haejin is being accused of hacking the site surreptitiously. From what I can see, he's getting attacked because others are jealous of his massive appeal. This is the behavior of children. If you think better content needs to be produced, make it! Otherwise, don't complain when the payouts go to those who do!!

"If you want to be a whale, and get whale-sized payouts, bring whale-sized value in your content."

TBQH, the content we post has little to do with our rewards. @haejin exemplifies this, particularly. If you exclude all votes from @ranchorelaxo from the debate, there is no more reason to debate whether @haejin's posts are problematic in any way.

This issue is about rewards distribution, not content.

Further you completely misunderstand my position. I don't seek to 'drag whales down'. I want them to profit MORE from their investments.

The price of Steem has rewarded whales more in the last week than all the self-votes they have cast in the last year.

I seek wider distribution of rewards not because I even care about my personal rewards, but because that will cause Steemit to grow, and create price pressure on Steem upwards, producing capital gains for whales.

I want Steemit to become more than a rewards pool mining algorithm. The mechanism of rewarding content creators on a social media platform has the potential to topple tyrannical banksters, and produce a new libertarian model of democratic governance all over the world.

That's really my goal.

This is a fact that could be addressed.
Perhaps if Ranchorelaxo only voted 2% or something other than 100%

I don't see @ranchorelaxo, nor @haejin, as a problem either of us should care about. Why should we care what happens to 5% of the rewards pool?

The top 1500 accounts care, and really only the top 39.

You and I are impacted so infinitesimally by 5% of the rewards pool that it literally has no impact on our rewards.

We have a different problem.

Our problem is that the bottom 99% of accounts split 1% of the pool. Since 99% of any rewards that are flagged away from @haejin back into the pool are then extracted by whales, you and I see but 1/50kth of 1% of all of @haejin's rewards (if we average all minnow rewards).

It is literally meaningless, and that's the problem we have. If minnows aren't delivered orders of magnitude more rewards - which would decrease the amount of rewards the whales could tap by about 25%, a substantial, but not debilitating decrease in their ROI - then retention will continue to be a dismal, ~10% YOY.

Even those of us that stick it out aren't much good in terms of supporting the price of Steem, as we have little of it.

Give us 30% of the rewards pool, as the white paper specified and intended, and we'd be a lot more use as price support for Steem.

I wouldn't mind it either.

Would you?

"nobody should complain why someone is getting more from the rewards pool and why others get less."

The whales care, because they're getting $500/post. 5% of $500 is $25.

That's more than you're gonna make this month in payouts. That's what @haejin is costing them each time they post.

Median payout is $.02. 5% of nothing is.... nothing.

We don't care. He's hitting them in the wallet, and they want all the money.

Now this is something I agree with. Upvotes and downvotes willl create the equilibrium for it self. If someone decide to buy steem and steem power, he has the right to use it as he deem fit. If proper calculations have been made in the creating of this platform, everything will always balance out.

You have to scroll down a bit:
