RE: Potential Problem with Steemit
Well, I kinda think of all those upper-class guys as being ones who've written and blogged pretty well to get where they're at. Either that or they bought in. In my view, becoming a whale doesn't necessarily mean you think the same way or hold the same agendas as other whales, but what we might see is a heap of different whales with minnows and dolphins flocking around their ideas. Almost like when you go to a democratic vote or demonstration and there's those politicians, parties or speakers with people flocking around them because they agree. I believe this is a pretty reasonable thing to do, as we get to see what the world thinks on a large scale about things. People from all over the world are talking about their life experiences on Steemit and suddenly they don't have to live in poverty. This is truly revolutionary and a great idea in my opinion :)
True but it becomes exponentially harder to get into steemit. I will likely be a whale for someone who starts a year from now. How do we give those people meaningful say?
Steemit constantly changes and adopts. Don't worry. In a year from now, things may be completely different. Let's work on today.
I guess you just gotta be honest. Give them your opinion. People should like stuff because it's appealing to them and not just because there's money involved, but people like money too & I guess that's the truth about the world that is showing here as well. You can check google images to see if people have just copy pasted, you can copy & paste their words into google to see if they haven't just copied & pasted something into steemit, things like that. It's really up to the people to keep the trash out in the end but to do so in a reasonable manner. It's interesting seeing where it's going at the moment. Maybe the devs and whales are keeping an eye out on the social content and seeing if people on a large scale can work together to push good ideas ahead. Maybe they're seeing what generally trends with people at the moment... Could be some social experiment :P Either way, the ability to just start writing something to this and earning money straight away is a real privilege.
