RE: Why Steemit Is A Giant Circle-Jerk And How To Make It Work In Your Favor

in #steemit6 years ago

Sadly nowhere.

That said, I'm not aware of anywhere else where you can pay to get such good exposure for your writing, either. And people are incentivized to comment on it.

But to lead people to believe that there's a chance they're going to make any money here without copying Twitch IRL's style is bordering on unethical.

Sort:  

Please what do you mean by copying Twitch IRL's style?

Someone here is deluding himself but I doubt it's yallapapi. Where do you think the money is coming from?
If this ecosystem would work as advertised than you would have a ton of people reading a mediocre poem (cause what poem isn't mediocre?) and go like "hell yeah, I tip him $ 0,30 for that." And then he would go and upvote another 5 interesting posts for the day. He would donate up to 1 or 2 dollars a day of his OWN money to complete strangers?
7 to 14 $ a week?
30 to 60 $ a month?

Since when are people on the internet so generous that this is happening on a daily basis?
Look at some famous quality youtubers and their patreon accounts. Sometimes they got millions of followers and barely a few hundreds patreons.

okay, so where is the money coming from? I'm all ears

The value droped hard since december.

But even if it wouldn't have: Just because some people buy SBD that doesn't mean that a content creator here on steemit gains additional SBD. He only would get additional SBD if someone who bought SBD would transfer it to his steemit, convert it to steempower and upvote the content creator (effectively tipping him with his own money).
But this kind of generosity isn't seen often in the internet.

Lol sir, the value has dropped since December just like all other CryptoCurrencies... The market was/is in a market correction. Come back a year from now and SBD will be an incredibly higher value.

You do know Voting Power recharges right? So it's almost like you have infinite $0.03. Now let's say hundred people with VP worth 0.03 vote you. Boom $3.

If one is still not ready to vote others after knowing the fact that they're not losing anything permanently by doing so, then I'd say it's a problem of their selfishness and sadistic nature, rather than this website.
