RE: Steemit Has an Entitlement Problem
Ill give you an upvote, because you said something that needed to be said. people should be grateful that they are getting comments on their posts because it shows the post is worth the time taken to read, so no one should feel entitled to an upvote. @grantcardone
The problem with Steemit is people fake liking everything as if they love everything because it's all monetized. How is this fixed?
Time will expose people. People can't happy all the time, they'll give up. People will either be honest and genuine, stop expecting to be rewarded (or they'll back their backs and fold).
Your points are hard-ass, but it needed to be said, so I really can't fault you for the original post. Also Steemit is an early platform, just wait for the bloodbath that'll be when it goes mainstream.
Most people can't manage money or become delusion after they see a 5-dollar bill, these generally are the same types of people who always say things like "Money doesn't make you happy" or "I don't need wealth." - but soon as money is actually involved they become wolves, posing as a nun moments before hand.
So time. Imagine when there's account with 1mil+ everywhere, and thousands of bots, and everybody has a Steemit platform. By then the platform will have evolved, or the entitlement problem will be more interesting to witness.
Fakeness fades like a poorly coated veneer, eventually people will start to be honest, and realize that's more profitable.
Hell, I up-voted you just because you stated your own opinion. You weren't being needlessly divisive, you were just speaking your truth.
People will respect that, it'll just take time man.
Those are my thoughts.
I dont know, can it be fixed? steemit is such an easy access platform and people, like you said, want to make small bucks and they do this by liking everything they see, so i dont know if it can be fixed.
Steemit does currently have a lot of problems, and the most critical one is that the way it promotes itself is attracting people just for the financial aspect and nothing else.
Like you always said, Go 10x bigger lol
That's kind of annoying, but I prefer that to the way people on sites like Twitter just to straight to hate. There's got to be some sort of middle ground. If you look in the right places, you can find people who have genuine thoughts to add to things.
