RE: How Does Steemit Reward System Work? Complete Research Paper on Steemit Economy and Reward System!
All I have to say is that attention economy is a very delicate thing. Also, it's very young and we're just scratching the surface with it. Sometimes you get votes from voting bots, sometimes you get huge upvotes from big whales. What's surprising is that your idea of worth is never equal to their idea of worth. In other words, it's completely unpredictable. All you can do is do your best.
I guess it's pretty much like in real life.
Thank you for this. There's unpredictability and I have seen it. I have received whale votes out of nowhere at times. Sometimes, expectations don't get fulfilled. There's an element of surprise.
It also depends who is seeing the post. May be the influential people are not online when the post is published and it gets skipped.
Overall, I think you have clarified it for me. It is like the real life. It doesn't have to be the way we want it to be but there always is something to cherish.
