RE: Stop Making Steemit All About the Money, It Won't Work - And Other Ranting About What Sucks About Steemit
🍒 I think that is a very good idea, Hide the rewards from the public, and I want to add they it maybe a good idea to show the rewards AFTER the 7 days, so that people outside Steemit can now how much money you can get here, also it would be a nice surprise for Steemians to see how good they are curating content.
There is a saying, "under promise and over deliver" if they can't get what they believed was the minimum payout (which is nearly all of them) they will get discouraged. Emotions and Perceptions drive decisions more than Reality. I joined steemit because Greg Mannarino @marketreport said to get involved. At that point I would have been happy voting for posts based purely on merit. But it became apparent that the opportunity on steemit would be wasted if I did not chase the curation rewards. What you want to see happen is for curators to chase content, not rewards...to get both. In the end the best curators and the best authors will win, and it is a foundation that can survive for the duration of the project
I would like to be a curator but I don't have enough steem power to get any significant rewards from curation, actually I have noticed that I get more rewards for upvoting post that have few upvotes, when a lot of people vote I dont get anything, so I need to focus more on posting good content and comments
If we rally the new authors together we can vote for each other which would benefit both the authors and the voters regardless of SP
