This is EXACTLY correct. The complaining about unfair payouts is short sighted. My vote gives out about a dime. But it allows me to upvote content I like and then I hope gets noticed because there is now a little money attached to the post. And the more time moves a long the more SP I earn, the more I can support things I like.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Its not always about how much the upvote is worth, its just about giving recognition to those who you think truly deserve it!
Yes, but let's face it. You notice a post with more money attached to it.
While that is true, I spend most of my voting time in the "New" section in the science tag. I try to throw my small penny vote to people posting things I thought were good. Getting curation rewards is great and all, but I like trying to make sure people who are putting forth effort are getting at least a tini bit of recognition.
That's exactly my point. A post with a penny gets more noticed than a post with no money and several upvotes. And I hope the little money I give encourages them to keep going.
@justtryme90 that is very true.
I've been thinking how people should treat steemit - for it to become a success. At this point it seems that, in my opinion, the masses are putting the aspect that you can earn money before the social platform and I think it should be the other way around. The money is just a welcomed bonus that should've been around from the day 1 with social platforms. Of course this can offer great opportunities for making money, but this is social media platform, place for people to connect with each other first. If we as community remember that, including everyone from devs to just accounts with just the starting SP - we're off to a great start to building something truly great.
