I LIKE THIS POST.
People tend to forget than having connections is much the same (if not more important) than having money.
Steemit is much more reminiscent of the way people in tribes operated before the corporations took over. Who gives the most does tend to get the most in return. Think of @papa-pepper giving out 1000 Steem to @darthnava. When the community saw his generosity, they upvoted his comments to the point that he earned almost all that 1000 Steem back with their upvotes. That is something I have never witnessed in the 'real' world.
Indeed, truly awesome to see in here.
We do witness this in the real world. In fact many corporations donate to charities (up to 3% on profits) and get tax exempts that are far greater from what they have donated.
People often use this trick to indeed get more money + reputation. This is why so many companies advertise their good deeds. It is part of an economic mentality.
on a side note, i just partook in the @randowhale thing, and i must say, it's enjoyable to spend 2 steem and get upvoted like 30 more.....crazy times, eh?
yeap! I say why not? :)
After all, life is a result of stars gambling hydrogen for helium.
yeah, i noticed you did it too! it's a crazy steemit world where we make up the games
of course! a small roll is good every now and then
