You are learning how to abuse the system. Thank you. My curation reward also quadrupled from my daily average using a similar strategy. This is broken and needs to be fixed, but at the time being, we can abuse it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I would not call it a abuse, I am being entertained by many of these blog posts, and commenting builds relationships
I feel like it's not right, but anyways I do it and can't stop it. Need to watch voting power too. But the second point about commentating and building relationships is very real and the best thing about being close to others posts and opinions.
I don't think it is abuse, but I try to find interesting posts to comment on. Sure, I look at the ones with money under 30 minutes or so, but I really don't have the time to watch the site constantly, so my intentions and investments are more concentrated on (hopefully) improving everyone's experience.
It's not abuse but it's definitely a corrupt system. I've written about this in my controversial https://steemit.com/scam/@moonjelly/the-dollar-vigilante-exposed-god-s-gonna-cut-you-down post.
Like that song - Elvis does a good job with it.
Oh man, never heard that one. Elvis was truly a king.
I believe that system has weaknesses that people work around. Developers have honest and sincere ideas that could get them rich and they try to do best.
To relate to your post. People that are celebrities, in general, are not necessarily best of us but have the charisma that attracts people to them. That is just how the world works and if something is corrupt it's our world, not the people in general or in person since the world lets bad things happen. @dollarvigilante is just a man with charisma that tries his best survive in this world in a way he knows best. He for sure has his demons but I can understand him and feel with him.
The problem I see with the voting system as stated in my post, it's not so much focused on @dollarvigilante but on how it all works. People are upvoting without even reading or caring for the content itself, they just care about the rewards. I don't think that's healthy for anybody in the long term. Plus you could just make some bots and that's it, maybe tweak them weekly.
I think at the end of the day people don't like "unfair" things or being a whore for curation rewards. If you are a great curator that should be rewarded somehow. I don't think I'm a great curator upvoting the next @wang post or whatever without even reading it, I'm not gonna do that forever, I already stopped doing it, it's pointless.
Also old posts are buried into oblivion, there's no reward for voting an old post and I've seen a lot of very useful and interesting ones. Are we treating them as status or posts?
I know there are some very few great content creators here who also get good payouts but if the system continues to benefit the whales and the whales alone it will collapse.
@pierce-the-veil: @moonjelly, that is very true.
I consistently see posts with 40 upvotes, yet no comments.
Would you consider entering one of your "non-performing" posts in our Weekly "Graveyard Edition" where we bring "dead posts" back to life?
