That took awhile to read. The post and all the comments, and I even responded to a few comments, it seemed to me that some people missed the purpose of the post and just went on about mr H. In the 90's the Movie Wall Street, Michael Douglas "Greed is Good", It seems that people still believe that line.
Steemit is one place that nice people can actually succeed. Where playing nice with your friends and neighbors actually pays off. Where interacting with your favorite authors can pay off. Where enjoying a beautiful picture someone took can pay off, There are so many quality post, so many people sharing their content. There is however something missing. Where is the quality content from the people with Reputations over 63? I am all over steemit, I have found a few Authors that I visit on a regular basis for content, but I very very rarely find any content from accounts with more than a 63 REP? Yeah there is the exception, like yours, and a few others but with as much as I travel around steemit you would think that I would see more postings from the "big" guys and gals, it don't happen. So where is the lack of quality?...is it in the new user?...or the early adopters? Greed in the end does pay, but there is a cost. I would rather have someone's trust than someones money.
Yeah I think that happened too - I guess they just read the title? 😊
Fair point that the quality of content does seem to be the inverse of reputation. Newer accounts do produce the best, most original stuff in my opinion too.
I agree that it generally pays to be nice here, and this is a huge plus that keeps me keeping on.
Cheers!
