RE: No more steem dollar author rewards! [SBD_PRINT_RATE = 0]

in #steemdollars8 years ago

I appreciate the upvote. I was on this site for almost 4 months pumping out quality content and engaging with the community and my upvote is only worth $0.01. Probably not even that as the price keeps falling.
Steemit had so much potential it isn't even funny. The leadership doesn't realize that the most important part of Steemit is the community. Friendster, MySpace, and hi5 lost their community. Steemit is losing theirs and I feel that they think that "weak hands" are folding and leaving..... that just isn't the case. All hands are leaving and this issue has been going on even when Steem was worth $2+.
I hate to say it but I don't see this platform turning around. They aren't going to be able to code their way out of it. I reached out to them and I think they think I'm just some Joe Blow. It is unfortunate but we will be ready for the next social media / blogging crypto platform that launches. At that time I will try to pull my following from here over to there. Until then my bot will be running.

i tried very hard to be optimistic, but as of now, i can not disagree with anything you've said here.

I think people unfortunately think steem is meant at this point to support only the highest quality content. What is the truth however, is that people who use steem as a savings bond that lets them support people's efforts they want to support is what it really how it should be looked at. If you think about it though, there is nothing wrong with that especially when you realize other platforms give you nothing and actually censor quite a bit of good content because it is politically incorrect.

There is not a single social media platform that gets even close to steem for this immutability alone. And to anyone who says there are other blockchain based social media platforms...none of them have been proven to scale like steem.
