it is indeed a good point you raise the discussion if certain posts are really worth over 300 or 500$
my question isn't a philosophical discussion about whether or not a post is worth that much
it's about whether or not you distribute those funds appropriately to the creators
i see images in your photo-trail post thats making $375 that in some cases didnt make even $10 in the posts made by the creators.
for you to then take those images and make your own post which banks well into the triple-digits and then not offer so much as a 1 steem of those earnings to any of those creators is outright theft.
@mobydick - sorry but I am not handling the photo trail so I can not answer this question - I handle the German-Trail - we did introduce Steemians from Germany until last week talking about them all with permission of these people - I even introduced that I will move this to the next step after HF 19 that the people I introduce get a percentage of my personal rewards from my trail rewards - if that is of any interest by anyone.
Of course, another brush-off.
despite you not being in charge of the @photo-trail, your answers should be the same regardless. i dont imagine you give too much autonomy to those running those accounts for them to act TOO differently from one another.
I am not giving anyone anything - I am German-Trail - i am not the boss of trails however the boss of trails is a great guy - don't ask me about stuff i can not answer
why don't you use decline payout instead?
That might be an option too - I am open for any suggestion - we could even copy a concept like - send me 5 SBD for an upvote lol. Collecting ideas and presenting back! I am a soldier only. Thanks @personz
Just did that @personz - but only my personal decision
Well done 😁
Further to that suggestion, how about making posts about your @german-trail work on your own account @uwelang ? That seems more direct and honest to me. You can also ask for tips to your personal account for your personal gain. There is nothing wrong with this as it's totally up front and fair.
If trails want to be transparent they should keep their transactions on the blockchain completely and not trade elsewhere. This makes everything traceable. Using decline payout is a moral decision really, to not profit from others' work.
The question is, does the trail need funds? And if so, what for? @instructor2121 talks about building websites elsewhere but this is not transparent and requires that thing which blockchains are great at operating without - trust.
I would never ask for tips - that is a no go to me :-). Maybe I make a post, maybe it is useless moving forward.
Dude, where's your buddy Ahab?
sry for offtop, but this is soooo... LOL! smash
