I have been on Steemit for a month. It has taken me this long to find my Niche here. Real quickly, what I do is three contests a week Monday Wednesday and Friday geared toward new people. While I may not be as successful as people like you, I feel what I do is important. And from what I hear from others as they do too. Sometimes I only get $0.20 to $0.50 per post. and with my posts I let everybody win who participates. That means that for the new guys that I have playing my games they get very little reward. And quite frankly, a lot of the time I end up paying out of my pocket to make sure that everybody gets a little bit. However to them because they are new and have no money it feels like a lot and helps them to want to stay around. If the minimum is raised I feel that a lot of my friends will leave. And truthfully I probably will too. No, as a matter of fact I know I will. And I know that probably to you, I don't matter that much. And neither do a whole lot of the other minnows floating around in your ocean. But if all of the minnows leave everything at the top of the chain will starve.
THE TOP OF THE TOTEM POLE QUICKLY BECOMES THE BOTTOM WHEN THE BOTTOM IS NEGLECTED.
With it already being as difficult as it is to get a start here, why would anybody who's already struggling stay? I am here because of this community. And because I believe in it. I am not here to make money. I'm here because I have faith in the system. If changes like these are implemented, I will simply abandon this platform and spend more time mining cryptos.
So the long and short of it in my humble opinion is that it's a bad idea. But you guys do what you want to, and we'll see how it plays out. It's ideas like this though, that make me want to pull out what little bit I have here and put it into other cryptos. I'm sorry if this is not what you were hoping to hear. But I will tell you that I am thankful that at least somebody is trying to think of a way to stop spam. Because I do too agree that something has to be done. However it seems to me like this is like telling somebody who uses marijuana for medicinal reasons that they will face the same fines and penalties as somebody who sells cocaine by the pound. I just truly don't think it will work out in the advantage of the platform. Thank you for taking the time to read this comment if you do. I'm going to ask that you please respond, because I'm curious to see if you even listen to what the people say. I believe that that will speak volumes about you as a person. That is not an attempt to be rude or or mean. It is just me being truthful. Thank you, and I hope you have a great day. Sending you all of my love until we meet again. And may our creator bless you and yours.

Feedback acknowledged. Based on the feedback that you and others have given - I don't see this proposal going anywhere.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for getting back with me. Secondly I would like to apologize for how I responded. I was upset and responded right away and I should have taken time to think about it. I just really really want this platform to succeed and I have promised all my friends that are all me to here that I will do what I can to help them in any way. One of them brought this to my attention and they seemed concerned. So I responded, and I should have calmed down first. Any case, thank you again for the response. I know with the games are Run for the newbies and trying to help them along their way that I can barely keep up. So I can only imagine how hard it is for you. Thank you for your time. And I wish for your continued success.
No worries. People can get passionate when they care a lot about the platform. I totally understand :)
So you know sir, you have earned my respect. I've chosen to follow you. I thank you for and appreciate the time that you have taken to reply to me. And the fact that you listen. As I said before, it really speaks volumes. I'm sure we'll meet again, so until then I send you and yours all of my love.
Thanks :)
