RE: Hard Fork 21: A Case For the 50/50 Curation Reward Model
You said, "Initially we should reflect and ask ourselves: why am I in Steemit?
We will find ambiguous points of view.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ambiguous
Most of us are quite unequivocal about what we want from Steemit; many of us are downright opinionated. Personally, I want an audience which will pay some attention to my writing, and I want to get paid for my efforts. See? There's nothing ambiguous about that at all.
You said, "A 50/50 reward distribution assumes a balance in profits."
Balance? You know what I get for an average blog entry?
$0.02
That's not what I call very damn balanced.
You said, "If we are here, we must trust the administrators."
Let me just ask you to please share with us the chain of logical reasoning which led you to this conclusion, because it is by no means apparent to me. Why in the name of all that's holy would you think that we "must" trust them?
But worst of all is the way you keep talking about "investors" when what you mean are whales. This ignores the fact that I too have invested in Steemit, not just money but over a year of my time and much unrewarded effort, as have hundreds of other minnows and redfish!
Well, I see that you've left sadly.
You were here longer than me even when you were active though..
I just want to say it is NOT the fault of any hardfork or anything to do with Steemit about your author rewards being so low.
I've made 35 posts in about 4 months of being active.
Without bots, I average about $1.00 per post. Some of my posts have made a heck of a lot more, some made less..
But everyday I grow! and hey, I'm newb to blogging, and I'm pretty fucking boring if you ask me, there is nothing special about me and I'm not any better than you...
But there must be something I am better at which explains why I get some more rewards, and if I'd have to guess I'd say it's networking.
Networking is a lot of work, sometimes it takes more work than creating a new post, but the payoff is pretty even - the work you put in to networking is manifested almost 1:1 with account growth and rewards..
