RE: STEEM Isn't A JOB It's A Business
How do I setup an autovoter? I already use SteemAuto but I cannot find an option to create an autovoter for specific people. I just see curation trails.
I think Steem Inc will move in the direction of having STEEM tokens be responsible for bandwidth allocation for people to host SMTs on their own platforms. Posting videos and blogs on Steem is just a fun way of mining as opposed to using mining hardware.
Prior to this site, blogging was done for $0/hour because people liked to do it. Expectations have changed with the way things are now. These days you can get monetized on YouTube so lots of people make YouTube videos with the goal of getting monetized or attracting customers. Previously, people just made videos for fun and entertainment.
This platform functions more like a capitalist society and not a socialist one. You can't expect that the distribution will be fair and equal. Whoever had the resources to earn more Steem with whatever method in the early days will profit and just because it is unevenly distributed, it doesn't mean that it is flawed. It is the nature of the game; just like money. Also, I am sure lots of people could have gotten their fair share of Steem at the beginning but didn't because they never thought it would become this big. Remember that all tokens started out practically worthless. With bitcoin, there are people that practically gave hundreds or thousands away for free because they didn't see much value in it. How many people out there had the opportunity to mine bitcoin back in the early days when all you needed was a laptop? Probably many. But still, many people didn't do it because they never knew it would become this valuable. Those that took action benefited immensely.
I don't know man. The @steem account and others have plenty of STEEM that just sits there. I think they could delegate more of it and that would help IMO.
To set up and autovoter you can go to SteemVoter.com. You can set up like 5 rules for free and then it is a paid service after that.
Anytime I have had a blog or a video blog it has always been for the reason of promoting a product and ultimately making money off of it. This goes back to 2008 for me. I never "blogged" for free.
For a crypto to be as successful as possible you have to have wide distribution. This is one of the reasons why EOS has had so much success so far. People had time to take their position. Also with Bitcoin Cash people had a chance to take their position in Bitcoin to receive their position in Bitcoin Cash. A big reason why STEEM fell from #3 on CoinMarketCap to #33 is because of the imbalanced distribution. It was visibly unfair and people felt like it was a whale hangout and new investors are always getting dumped on.
With Bitcoin it is a little hard to use it as an example because it was first and sort of succeeded when there was almost more of a possibility that it would fail.
I agree that more power could be delegated to people who are actively upvoting a lot of other creators and people who are building communities and such. Also considering airdrops have worked so well for projects like TRON I believe that Steemit INC should do a STEEM Power airdrop into people's accounts who achieved a certain reputation and have a certain level of engagement and it will be an equal drop to everyone. That would create a lot of hype and people would be grateful. The only airdrop Steemians have ever gotten was the Golos airdrop back in 2016. Every other project that said they were going to drop coins to us backed out.
