That's exactly it... it makes no sense that whales have to spend hours upon hours sorting through crap content to find the miniscule percentage that is actually good.
Granted, we have some great content creators, some awesome ones if I may say so, but what is the percentage that is any good... 5% 6% - Possibly I'm being generous there.
On the other hand, if anyone hits the new tag on the home page you will see a ratling gun of meaningless copy pasta, and poorly written pieces.
So, it's hard to convince a big investor (i've tried) hey... put a million into Steem, sort thru the garbage, you will find good stuff and make money. I'm good at sales, but I'm not a wizard.
That's why this makes so much sense to me. Investors can have their R-Shares, content creators can darwinian themselves to the top.
The best ones should thrive.
That's why they should let me do the finding good stuff part for them. I'm good at it, and I like it.
Of course Poly... Being a good curator is something you must enjoy.
Exactly. But I don't enjoy curation enough - does that mean I'm not able to profit from the investment I made with Steem?
Should I sell my Steem and invest in another PoS coin with dividends, that doesn't shame people for wanting to take profits from their investments?
Because self-voting and selling votes is bad, right?
PS: Not completely serious - just asking provocative questions.
As the hybrid word that does not exist yet would say: Presactly! (precisely and exactly) - But, we need to get over the emotional bumps on the road that don't allow us to have a mature conversation about this.
Whatever path we take, it must be a win for everyone, or its pointless.
