RE: Just Do It, Now.
I agree with you. I have the confidence that when more people join the payouts won't be concentrated in that form, and if they are, we should all start throwing tomatoes at the upvote bots in charge. It is incentives, upvote bots only make money if the price of steem doesn't go to zero. They are sorta of like miners in this sense, instead of producing blocks, there are allocating steem to the people in need. If they fuck this up and just give to crap content, I would assume, and hope, that people would stop using that service. Obviously, the best answer is to manually upvote as much as possible on content you genuinely like. But there are also investors who don't have much time but believe in the project, these people need an outlet for their steem. I guess we could just burn the steem that would have been allocated to that person, instead of it being socialized. Right now, IMO, it is better to give to a trusted party that will use your steem for good, then it simply not use it at all. The reason is that it is socialized allocation, and if you don't use yours, someone else will and that someone may be using it in a way that is a detriment to steem. This is what ultimately made up my mind, but I was on the fence for a while with it, still kinda am TBH.
