RE: Proposed Changes to Break one Money Game on Steemit – NO Compensation for Upvoting; YES Compensation to posts upvoted

in #steemit8 years ago

Hey @spark. Thanks for your comment on my post that lead me here, and for keeping it relevant to the discussion.

I think you raise some good points, but once you start talking about removing rewards, no matter where from, people don't want to listen. Curation rewards are an incentive to vote. Unfortunately incentivization and income through social media are two things that make Steemit appeal to the wider audience. Economically, curation rewards were probably never viable, being that anyone can create a automatic voting bot and reap rewards that way, but that's one reason why curation rewards are very minimally and only really equate to large profits when your Steem Power is higher.

Here's a tip for your posts in the future: If you want to get more votes, build a network of followers by promoting your posts on www.steemit.chat or on other social media website pages dedicated to Steemit, like on Facebook. This will help your posts to get seen among all the other stuff that's being made. Being seen is a problem here, and until they fix it, promoting your posts is one way to work around it. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy Steemit, and don't be a afraid to voice your opinion.
