RE: NO MORE UNPAID CONTENT: Why the Huffington Post Deciding to Pay Their Writers Matters to You!
Hi Ben! Thanks so much for sharing this information. I have always been heartbroken by the policy of sites like Huffpost to not pay their writers. While I see the business sense, it always seemed that it was going to be a bad move for everyone, businesses included, in the long run. Which is a very good reason why we are here on Steemit, and have the real direct opportunity to earn from our content! I am really happy to find you here on Steemit, and I look forward to your posts and music!
I agree - this feels like we are headed to a more just and sustainable model.
Absolutely. I was blown away by the model of steemit, and really thought for a bit it was too good to be true... but its true! I like that to some degree it is self regulating, if your content is strong, and people like it, the rewards will be proportional over time. If you blast out random useless stuff just to make some cash, you probably won't last long. It really creates the incentive for contributors to dig deep and give their best. I feel like we are on the edge of a new era for artists!
