RE: Starting an Upvote Pool - Join for More Upvotes & Repping up Faster
I don't mean to rain on your parade here, but in my experience when I was a newbie and such upvote pools were proposed, the result was people spamming lazy content or outright plagiarizing in order to get more votes and game the system. You will probably need to monitor the pool idea carefully to support quality original content and promote those who deserve a good reputation.
@jacobtothe Thank you for your input! I will certainly take this idea seriously and promote good content creators.
The reason I am creating this upvote pool is because I find that there are a LOT of great content creators on the Steemit platform who receive poor curation rewards and who have low reputations. On the flip side, I find that there are alot of content creators who put out lazy, unoriginal content and make it to the trending pages through the use of a million upvote bots, clickbait titles or just because they have hefty wallets and find this extremely unfair. I see your point of view, but you need to understand the minnow's point of view as well.
I want to help accelerate the progress of budding content creators who want to succeed on Steemit but need a better support system and incentive to keep up their great work.
I completely understand the minnow struggle. As Steemit grows, it's harder and harder to be discovered by a wider community of supporters. Between the spammers, the plagiarists, the bots, and the bid buying, it's quite chaotic now compared to when I joined. I will try to keep an eye here and see if good content creators turn up.
