RE: Why Do My Well Sourced Articles By A Financial Whistleblower Have Less Votes Than A Shit Post?
I'd love it if all of the best content was the most rewarded but that's not exactly how Steem works. I think it use to do better with the previous reward algorithm.
We aren't arguing about the fact your posts might be more worthy than some posts that are making more.
The bid bots aren't so time demanding and can be quite a good tool even more so if you spend so much time on your posts and I know you are.
I'm not in favor of such a limit on post because that would limit the amount of money people would want to invest in Steem and thus that could curtail the price increase of Steem which is the most important thing for the platform and thus everyone.
I agree with @teamsteem, payout limits based on article length or any other subjective criteria goes against what Steemit stands for. There are indeed lots of problems with Steemit paying out to the least productive members of the community (just go take a look in the NSFW section where people are raking it in just copy-pasting porno .gifs they've stolen off the internet) but complaining because people aren't giving you the votes -- and the money -- you think you're entitled to quite frankly makes you sound a little like the politico-scum you're working so hard to expose. I'll be following you as much as I can from now on and doing my best to support your work (and that of others like you, recommended by suzi3d), so please cheer up: it may take time (like you said, this is still a beta version), but things will sort themselves out, I'm sure.
Oh, and another tip: go easy on the resteems. When I look at your blog I have to look quite hard to find anything written by you. I understand you want to support other good journalists, but when I come to your blog, I want to read stuff written by you, not by other journalists...
Like I said it was self-entitled and I am putting in 48+ hrs to bring this series with the help of a whistleblower. I worked with Suzi3d at We Are Change but we have known each other for years. The reason I am resteeming other's content is to help them grow since I have 2,000+ followers on Steemit. This is another flaw of the design of Steemit there should be a tab to separate someone's blog and there resteems.
Granted I am doing a lot better than most because of who I am and I have met a lot of people who support my work. After complaining with this post the rewards on the post went way up.
The real problem is that I do journalism as a full-time career and with Activist Post having to cut back due to losing traffic on the site.
I am left with only Steemit and Patreon to continue getting by. I am working on helping run an ICO and working with onG though. So the money problems will vanish in the near future. Thanks for the support!
Cool, good to know! Chin up and keep up the good work ;)
