FUNNY "The first post has earned a whopping 19 cents. This artwork to me deserves at least $10 for the time spent doing it and also taking into account the final result which is great."
Sounds like all the work I have done and posted on steemit. Guess I don't fit the mold for steemit support. It's all about self centered thinking and greed. SOMETHING I DONT HAVE.
In your words.. "I want to apologize to these authors for not upvoting them unfortunately I have no incentive to do so since I make 3 times more money NOT upvoting them. Now you know why whales don't upvote your beautiful work..."
I once thought Steemit could have been a positive for the future. Thank you for bringing clarity. Truth and Transparency won't happen the way it's set up. Just keeps people dumbed down and distracted I guess.
Please be ensured that @snowflake is not representing the average Steemian, probably not even the average high SP-Steemian. It is NOT only about ROI but also about community, helping each other and rewarding good content and motivating our followers and vice versa get rewarded for good content. What he does is just exploiting a once well planned system which turned out to have some gaps. The excessive abundance of bots could really ruin the platform.
I think you're ignoring a couple facts. Steemit isn't in beta anymore. This is the planned form Stinc wants.
It isn't gaps, or poor design.
This is exactly what they want to make, and this is what they made.
It is still in Beta, and if ALL want to change it, then a change could be made. The 42 whales alone can´t run Steemit, if they don´t have a continous stream of people buying new Steem and powering up. If frustration levels get too high, people willl move on to other platforms - this can´t be in the interest of the whales.
Almost 90% of users that joined in 2016 have left, and 80% of all accounts opened are no longer active.
Is that a high enough level of frustration?
Steemit used to say 'beta' in the top left corner. It doesn't say that now, so I am reading that it is no longer in beta.
The "beta" word appears when the screen width is wide enough. This is pretty bad, it should be a requirement to always be there.
In fact I'm going to open up a ticket on GitHub for this.
Thanks for letting me know. I have my screen magnified, and that apparently has caused the 'beta' to no longer be visible.
