RE: Why isn't anyone Steeming for charity?
I believe there is some space for charities. But from what I know Steemit does not have unlimited money. There needs to be enough money for that to happen. Otherwise Steemit can become boring as the reward pool will be drained.
I'm not sure if anyone can clarify the reasons for this, I'd be interested to know too.
I just see so many people getting hundreds of dollars in upvotes for sharing news, videos, vacation photos.. (which aren't going to any noble causes I'm sure)
I can't imagine a better reason to upvote or resteem a post than if it were going to a good cause. Especially when the next one two weeks later shows a bunch of happy kids and a big "Thank you Steemit" sign. But maybe thats a pipe dream. Heck, even if they didn't thank us I'd still be happy to help, and I'm sure all the staff would as well. Start some kind of movement. Not trying to take money out of anyone's pockets or drain the system.
EXACTLY! A guy can get $100 for pictures of his vacations and spend them in the next vacation... but also a poor school could get $100 to give breakfast to the children for 2 weeks, what's the problem there?=)
