I agree, I notice when I talk to people or even do business with people they'll claim an amount they made in say a month and then if you actually get a chance to look at the stats it's more like 6 weeks and not a month.

I was thinking the same thing that you said about Steemit, everything is very transparent so if someone says they are making this or if someone says they are doing a giveaway you can actually verify not only that they do it but who they gave the money to.

@avislsd just made a vid the other day about all the youtubers trying to game the algorithm doing bitcoin giveaways and maybe not actually giving away the bitcoin with steem it can be verified which is very cool
