RE: Steem Has a Severe Glitch That Likens It To Reddit, Facebook and Fox News

in #steem8 years ago

Is the goal to spread SP widely or should SP go to people who bring the most positive attention and resources to Steemit? If it's about bringing value to Steemit then you cannot deny that Dollar Vigilante is bringing value, even if it's measured under the political anarchist spectrum.

If in theory someone could convince Elon Musk to post on Steemit then we wouldn't be shocked if Elon Musk immediately got lots of upvotes. It's not a bad thing either because if Elon Musk is impressed by Steemit then he may tell his friends and that is good.

It is harder for minnows, for people just starting out, for people new to cryptocurrencies, and some whale power should be dedicated to searching for quality posts among minnows. I just don't think it should be at the direct expense of quality posts from celebrity posters or from established posters. It creates direct animosity if you say you're robbing peter to pay paul, or taking from Dollar Vigilante to spread the wealth to unnoticed minnows.

Instead, it should be that you solve the underlying problem of attention scarcity among the whales. Solve that and the minnows will be noticed more. Over time as whales power down the problem will solve itself because more people will have enough SP to make a difference for a blogger, if and only if the price of Steem continues to rise in the future.
