RE: Content producers and 7 years of bad sex
With all due respect, (a fancy way to say I respect you, but I am going to disagree with you)
In my opinion, this should be an easy and friendly site where people can casually post or make a deep, long article. The payment is selected through the wisdom of the crowd. Most people ignore it, some like it and some dislike it. Let's assume it is upvoted or downvoted by those with strong reactions. At the end of a week, the Authors gets to keep the rewards. That's it. All there is to it.
No good Internet Business wants to reduce engagement. :)
Most of the content creators here are overpaid not underpaid when you compare Steem to any outside monetized paper or internet content provider. They feel underpaid because they are comparing themselves to others here, when they should be considering what they will be getting paid if they leave this arena.
I always enjoy your point of view even when I disagree. :) Cheers.
Almost in bed and on phone but... disagree on the disagree.
Not because you are wrong but because I am not saying that every post need be "worthy" but, if someone's every post is like facebook and they expect engagement and a reward, it isn't going to work for them. Thinking it is or saying that is the way it is is setting them up for failure.
Earning means competition is a factor and that will eventually put quality or the best fake of quality in the top earners. At least organic earners.
.....bed.
Relative wealth is always fun since people always keep raising their living standard and expectations haha. Doesn't matter how good things get humans always of course will look for something better. This is what makes life fun I guess. That things always is getting better. As you say Steemit users are overpaid for sure!
And even with that it's not the currency Token that is the real value. It's just the oil to make things more smooth when building up quality relationships with other humans. The oil works as a sign of: I trust you. Anyone that realize that Time and Attention is the true currency will start rich and abundant and from there you can't go any higher only add quality value and more fun!
Btw, i think it was in Eddie Murphys, RAW.
"I mean no offence, but your sister is a slut"
This is what came to mind :D
Hahaha. That is why I clarified what I meant by All due respect. Because sometimes I am a troll, I have to notify people when I am serious. haha.
At least with me, keep me guessing as i like the challenge. ;)
