Hi @liberosist,
@curie has been a motivation for steemians, especially newbies. But my question is this, why is it just curie obviously supporting newbies, So many people register on steemit and 80% of them declines. if we want steem value to increase, then the demand should be high. for the demand to be high, we need more people on steemit which we will definetly need more curation team. because @curie cannot see them all(but kudos to curie). trust me
@dan said, blogging on steemit is just the tip of an iceberg.
I really understand how you feel about buying of vote. but i believe it has an advantage.
See my reasons
i have a proposal for steemt growth and i am scared of the post not recognized by many people. i am afraid that it wont trend. its safer for me to have a backup plan. boosting a post will automatically take it to the trending page.
i am a community leader and we make sure we abide to curie curation standard, other curatin team like @ocd are also available if curie do not upvote.
See this Post here. it took me the whole day to meet up my freiend who is a comendian, record two videos, edit, upload and publish on steemit. two videos in one post. dont you think its okay for me to boost it,not to even get reward. but for steemians to see how hard i put in to promote steem and entertain the community but some others will give 100% upvote to themselves, cater-porting the post to trending page. Well that's not my business
Conclusion
Buying of vote should not be abused by steemians. i will not buy vote if my post does not worth it. but if my post merit curation reward but to no avail, the second option is to boost it.
its your blockchain entertainer
