RE: I'm Sick Of Selfish Whales/Dolphins Who Self-Vote
What do you think social media is? It's mostly girls showing off their bodies, cat memes, and other trivial crap that entertains. The expectation that Steemit is or ought to be different is a little absurd to me.
The fact that stories, art, essays and other "intellectual" content actually earns anything here is a testament to how well the whales and dolphins really do put in some effort to find and reward "quality" content.
Yeah, no doubt they make quality content. But I think steemit is very unbalanced. Not only that, but the god awful spam is just annoying and discouraging. Steemit isn't easy and I get where you are coming from, but i've never had an expectation. I never expected to get where I am today, because I have gone pretty damn far for a couple of months. But I am speaking from the point of the people who have expectations or feel their stuff is under valued. Exposure is everything. Connections are everything. Steem power is everything (investing in steem power will give u a huge advantage; but Inever invested in it). Steemit is more than social media, it is many other things more than average social media.
And trust me, I've seen so many people like @craig-grant and @yuliana who barely vote for anyone but themselves. May I include @sweetssj in this too? All she does is travel and take photos of her that are mildly sexual. I get it, tits=upvotes. But it is just out of control the amount she is making, and that is why people are flagging her and calling her out, she just self votes and makes loads of money. I mean look at how much SP is delegated to her for her titas. But anyways, I digress.
I get where you are coming from, and you are right. But the unbalance is real on this platform. Have a great day ;)
