RE: Post what you want on SteemIt, but don't expect it to earn - Random

in #steem7 years ago

I tend to agree, I am just also okay with people using the tools we have on the site to promote themselves a bit, or build stake. After all it is money in the system. It creates reasons for users who have been around to keep their stake in the system. I am at the point of starting to move from content to "Investing" my stake on SteemIt. I am excited about the change and it keeps me interested when I am bored with reading and writing blogs.

Sort:  

It is a clear loop that most Steemians enter.

  1. create content, establish a following
  2. curate content and nurture newbies
  3. invest in the platform itself by putting themselves second.
  4. leave or stay

On the topic of downvotes, these are very important to the community, and I believe it can be reasoned that those who downvote the most care about the community the most.

It is taking away from what you can earn ( via curation) and sending a message that its your belief that it is not okay for that person's stake to be used in that way.
