RE: What's Important to Steemit’s Longevity? - Inspiried by @anyx ‘Tragedy of The Commons’
While I don't have hard numbers to back this up, it certainly feels to me like rewards are being spread around more. Top posts now generally get around $2-3k, and there are a great number of posts with payouts in the $100-200 range. Of course that's partly due to the fall in price of Steem, but my impression at least is that it's evening out, which is a good thing.
On topic I think you have the right idea, in that promising high rewards is the wrong approach and only sets people up to be disappointed. The competition is heating up in terms of attracting attention and it will only get harder to catch that big payout, but as you say persistence is key as it is in so many things in life in general. If you're providing good content and not getting noticed, keep plugging at it and your day will come!
i agree. i although feel that some non-sense rewards are going away. the first makeup tutorial would only make 5000 instead of 25000 these days.
so in the long run, i am sure that it will be spread more equally, but the the best advertisement is people hitting it big.
so like in the real word, there will be people being constantly successful (similar to book authors) and one-hit wonders.
but both are important, as success draws people in. after that Steemit has to lock the people into the platform.
and most people forget: nothing in life is free, if it was, everybody would be rich !
so its just a thing about expectation. i think the normal person will be happy to earn 200$ per year to buy a nice dinner for their loved ones. i think thats the way we need to promote it
