RE: I have Nothing Original to Write ~ A Shit Post 4 You
I really dislike the payment threshold business. I understand that it is designed to prevent spam but it just seems off to me, right? You're literally telling someone their vote doesn't matter because they haven't bought enough SP yet.
If they're going to have a minimum payout threshold, Steemit Inc's starter delegation ought to at least cover a $0.02 vote. I think my biggest gripe with the Steem onboarding process right now is it seems like such a massive scam to newbies.
Do we want the dumbest people generating our content or the smartest? Because smart people are wired to know scams when they see them, and one of the biggest indicators of a scam (see MLM, 419 scams, etc.) is having to pay up front in order to make money later.
The payment threshold seems like fraud to me. For almost a hundred days and over 1000 upvotes I thought all of my votes had value. This costs us a LOT of users who leave when they don't get paid. I upvoted your blog post since my regular vote doesn't count.
