This is insane... and abuse at its worst. When people are struggling on Steemit trying to "make it" (like me) this (expletive deleted) is grabbing up an unwarranted percentage of the rewards pool! This makes me sick!!! I work my ass off and am lucky to make $60 for 4-5 hours work writing.
Some of us play it fair, and try to be an asset to the Steemit community... Flagging's too good for this jerk- get me his address!
Honestly, $60 sounds pretty good for 4-5 hours of writing. It's better than minimum wage ($10/hr - taxes in California). But yes, I also find it slightly annoying that some people find more success than others when it appears like they find some kind of unfair loophole. I guess that's life though.
But 4-5 hours doesn't include the time it takes to create characters, develop the plot... That just includes making my running outline and actually writing it all down. Read a chapter of one of my stories and you'll see what I mean.
