RE: The CHANGES & your FEELINGS!
It does tend to feel that way at times. Especially when the minnows are not getting much attention or upvotes. I think there are plans by steemit to try and address that issue as well as other projects. It should be the community who should be actually fixing it. I believe the HF19 was supposed to help the newbies which worked for some time. I have written about the same issue in the past and about people being demotivated to post because of the low rewards.
I've been a web designer and marketer for well over 15 years now. On one the filthiest, volatile, and cut-throat sides you can imagine. I see this site going right in that direction. Once a site gets over run with bottom feeders it's very hard to clean up the mess they make. I've seen very profitable message boards get destroyed in a matter of months. This is no different... I could probably have a dozen different accounts by the end of the week.
How can you maintain integrity of the domain when people are openly exposing it's weakness? I could dump holy hell on this site and get a dozen of my friends to help me. Well there you have it... It's already begun. There is no doubt that people are already doing it. A dozen accounts can turn into a few thousand followings.
I see people on here literally begging for an upvote. And then there is the sexy porn side of it, with women posting half naked pics to get votes from lonely men. In reality it's a man posting pics of his girlfriend or some hacked photobucket account. All that is very real and happening right before you now.
Maybe I will make a post about it, but I don't want to be a shithead and spoil everyone's mood.. : ) It's interesting none the less.
