RE: Whales On Steemit Should Act Like Talent Agents
I think we should just forget the whales. Post the content that is worthwhile sharing to you, the rest will follow.
Happiness will come to you, when it comes from you.
However, I won't argue with:
Find the posts from new users that are actually quality, upvote that user maybe once maybe a few times until that user has a decent little following.
Which was the point of your post. Upvoted, followed.
Thank you very much, I have high hopes for steemit and others like it, I see them taking a solid chunk out of the current centralized privatized models we see today. I feel like whales now are working more efficiently and effectively then they were before, and for the beginning I truly feel like whales favoring anyone specifically for an extended period of time will have a negative effect on the community as a whole. Just until steem is a little better distributed anyways.
It can be quite disheartening putting hours into a post (not this one) getting nothing, and watching the same people get high payouts over and over simply from having a bot follow them. But as a whole I think steemit is progressing nicely, the changes happen quickly (the mining hack was a good example of that) and I fell like the devs actually want this to succeed long term, and they have my backing.
