RE: SteemFest² Speakers Inspire My New Upvoting System!
For having been in Malaysia several times, I don't see where you can eat for $1, except if you are living in the jungle, have your own cows and chickens, fish pound, rice field, garden and orchard.
For $1, in a street stall in Malaysia, maybe you get a bowl of rice with 40 g of chicken and some veggies, a small plate, without water. Food is expensive, rent is expensive, transport and education is expensive in Malaysia.
Voting someone $0.10 is alright, but the idea that this will be of great help is not right, $3-4 would be.
Personally I will always vote full-power to selected authors and quality posts.
The argument that someone's economic situation should somehow factor into their post rewards is a non-starter with me. I hear a lot about "could live on $1 a day", but nothing about the fact my last apartment (864sqf) was $4500/month or walking into a doctor's office costs me $500+.
Results, not efforts, are rewarded.
It surely is very expensive to get an apartment where you are.
Indeed it did. Regrettably, I was in one of the world's most expensive cities before I moved out to Jerry's neck of the woods by chance.
Also, to be fair, the 4500 was furnished and included utilities.
