RE: Steemit School Has Over 2000 Users, The Next Goal Is 10 000
Conversely, they have the most to gain froma buse and shitposting. The pathetic tiny payouts go a long way in the third world.
I don't like seeing this shit subsidized by handing out "free laptops to blog" to people who can't even use English properly (who are posting...in English).
Thank you for comments
The game is the game.
It was never designed to allow all to win.
What I think needs to happen on steemit is the establishment of a class system. It already exists actually, it's just not openly discussed.
Bottom dwellers will always be bottom dwellers. Rather than give false hope, give them true purpose. The real world already has done so. The outsourcing of repetitive work to third world countries for instance has in a sense created a win win scenario. Well that's debatable but that's a much deeper issue.
There is a real need for moderation of spam on this platform. Coincidentally the spammers are the ones that come from those regions and do not see themselves to be doing anything wrong. Steemit could outsource "clean up" duties to those who have no real talent but find themselves here wanting to stack cents... and... let's be honest, that's probably 75% of users here.
By doing so, the platform gets managed better, (the visual elements at least) and the bottom dwellers have a real possibility to generate continuous income by actively completing tasks such as [ find and report /clean 10 spam posts = $0.5 ]. All kinds of minor tasks that are there in need of addressing and that no "westerner" would touch.
In the process people get accustomed to a certain standard. The platform benefits and those bottom dwellers then actually DO get given opportunity to climb the ranks of this here dog-eat-dog place.
Sugar coating it all and pretending that "it's all too easy and everybody can do it"... is false and careless.
