RE: STEEM AND THE TIPPERS OF DOLPHINS&WHALES- THE BLOCKCHAIN BRIBERY SAGA!
A couple of things to consider. I don't get many of these yet. I do not respond and I do not have control who sends my wallet money.
So, to really see who is acting on it, you have to look at the voting as well to figure out if they are voting for those who "tip".
I don't care for it either, but SteemIt is a platform of deals, buying, networking and doing anything you can for a vote.
We are missing a strong middle class and so all the users are fighting for attention from a few people.
This account while still relatively small is among the top 1000. Which shows how few people have much SteemPower to vote with.
To answer your question and I am sorry to admit it. I rarely look at the new feed any more as it is just too painful. I do try and support minnows who are putting in real effort and write decently.
It is extremely difficult for minnows to find any attention.
On the other hand I recently created a twitter account... They don't even give out money, and it is also very difficult to get attention there. So, each minnow needs to understand this a create a plot for visibility.
I am most honored to read your feedback @whatsup and i follow you now!
For some months, close to 7 now; i only gets support from my mentor @oluwoleolaide who brought me here though we are both minnows. He always upvotes me constantly each time i send him my new post link and i never get greedy to send tips to a Whale cos am here for a long term.
Many of this whale warns not to send tips truth be told, but it saddens me to see some others with very heavy Accounts respond to this summons but ignore Steemians with real Life touching projects like my friend @oluwoleolaide who runs @steem-lagos with his team.
But am trying to adjust to the New Steemit, different from what i met mid-last year. And i have seen you in some post before supporting unknown Steemians which still gives me hope that some of you Bigger Fishes still care!
Bless you and i will be thrilled to have your follow dear @whatsup
I think the best you can do is accept it is the way it is, and make a plan for how you are going to get attention. Voting bots, Minnow Groups, Comments...
You will have to fight for everything you get. Once you know that... You know what to do.
