so let me get that straight the winner takes a couple of steem and the author earns hundreds of steem power
I've never seen a contest post on here where the author keeps 99% as you suggest and to my knowledge I've never voted for one, but nevertheless it would still be distributing more than the typical post where the author keeps 100%
What, to you, would be the difference between a post where the author writes some content and keeps 100% and a post where the author writes some content, includes a contest, and pays out some portion of the rewards (even 1%) to the winner(s) of the contest? How would the latter be worse (i.e. more of a rip off or money grab or however you want to call it) than the former?
to me, it's irrelevant. I don't plan to be rich on steem so I wouldn't care so much about how much the others earn. My point is that I see double standards. that's it.
