The crap on the chain only exists because of the people who sell the votes. If you're ignored for posting crap for six months, you'll probably either improve, or leave.
Yup. 6 months though, ain't nobody got time for that... except you, and a few handfuls of folks I've tried to engage with frequently.
One of my recent posts earned more USD value in Palcoin than STEEM. That's only because more were willing to vote, so I received more votes, took a smaller percentage, but earned more, because of more votes.
Glad to hear this simple concept is showing early results.
And it is still early. And I should reword that. More votes with power. We spoke about that a long time ago. What would it be like if all those powerful votes were back on the scene and actually voting. It would be better, for everyone, was the basic conclusion. Right again!
I understood and have passed this information around today. It's big news, and very encouraging for authors and palnet.io
Surely some will pull stake from the bots (taraz mentioned doing so recently) to see how 50/50 compares. Knocking trash down a few notches in tandem to this, and there is hope at least.
All our content is crap. Theres basically 3-4 people on Steem ( And im being generous) that have content that is remotely competitive with what is out there.
Its time to stop with this idea that community respected individuals have good content because the only metric is:
I dont give a damn if a Jimbo can beat Greg in a fight down by the pub. Can he beat Tyson Fury?
Can he beat "the man"? Is the potential there? We can pat each other on the back and say this guy and that guy is cool but is he/she really?
Its time to make our own pewdipiepies. I think Nonames is great. I think youre great. I think Taraz is great. I think i can write a compelling post.... but in the great scheme of things all that content is basically worthless and cannot compete.
Dont get me wrong. I respect every one of you.... but can you go out and stand in front of me, look me in the eye and say:
No. Youre thinking in Steem terms. And thinking in Steem terms is what makes us stagnate.
We need to create greats and im not seeing anyone focusing on that.
