RE: Let's Talk—Why Are You Not Buying and Powering Up Steem?
Many people are not happy because even after producing quality content, the post does not generate the amount it was expected from it , however on the otherside even low quality posts are generating hundreds of dollars just because they are friends of steem stakeholders ... we need better curation mechanism that should only upvote the best posts not just friends or followers post. we must all at-least give 10 votes to the best quality content daily to the members outside your followers/following... I guess this will attract new Steemians and will definitely boost the price of Steem in long term.
I feel the same way you do, but everyday I task myself to reach out and find good content to consume and up-vote, no matter where it is, and hopefully this will become a habit for many others going forward. 🐳
Very true, create nearly all of the steem in a small amount of time before anyone has a chance to discover the site, and then limit it to 9.5% growth down to 0.5% yearly. And then have all future posts' payout be determined by who owns the most steem in the past. That will surely prevent many from ever approaching the site in a serious manner as they see their efforts are ignored.
What strikes me most these days is the fact that many people rely on the economic mechanisms in every area of life, and abandon the ethical element to life. This creates all sorts of social pathologies, and we as humans let some stupid, selfish social mechanisms rule over our everyday life without referring to any ethical code. Most caring professions do have some form of an ethical code because most people think that this is the area (health and care services) where the ethical code is necessary. Apart from this, oh let's just be liberal. A POS post from a friend is so much more valuable than a good quality content from somebody we don't know. Well, we tend to forget that our Western civilisation was built on ethics whether we like it or not. But these days, people don't get ostracised for being greedy and unfair because they are greedy and unfair. Oh, its just fine - we must let the economy and the free market rule. And it is no surprise to me that, at the end of the day, we wake up in the same crap we earlier had decided to fight against. Do we at all consider the respect of others valuable these days? Perhaps somebody will come up with an idea to monetise respect? How about FairCoin?
