RE: Steemexclusive
Is very sad, and I feel that people is so selfish, is natural, I know, but anyway I don't understand because I know that the reward pool resourses are enough for everyone, but some people want more and find the way to obtain more, making scams.
I appreciate your honesty about saying that everyone here want be rewarder, because is the true, because we all can go to X or Blogger to write for free.
But I agree that the reward's sharing should be fair and cheaters users wouldn't receive reward's if they're detected.
And here lies the difficulty. When Steemit first started, we had to upvote each other. And that worked to some extent. Of course, there were also whales who had much more, and everyone tried to get in with them, or rather, to suck up to them in the hope of getting a single vote. I just don't believe that at that time, the platform was really there to provide people with an income. Of course, it was nice when you earned 30 or 40 or 80 dollars on a post, but the intention was not to earn an income. Then upvote bots appeared. I was, of course, one of those slowpokes who only found out about it later, and when I finally figured it out, it was banned. At that point, there was already a group that had amassed a lot of money thanks to these bots, and they were also in power, so to speak. A large group of them went on to set up Hive. So let's put it this way: ordinary people were banned from using these upvote bots, while the whales who had used them themselves continued to do so.
Incidentally, these upvote bots still exist on this platform and are used in WOX, among other places. This is also the reason why you see such high amounts under a post, full of language errors, regardless of whether it is something interesting. In addition, there are of course the self-votes. Again, it's the same story: you rank higher, often don't belong to a club, don't burn Steem and engage in self-voting, something that has been severely punished in recent years for the average user. And I'm not even talking about those who went into Power Down out of necessity. Apart from the communities that you and I probably see on average, there are of course many more. These are mainly found among the Koreans, Chinese, Bangladesh has a self-sufficient community and there are many more. There, too, you often see incredibly high amounts around posts that are not very significant. Here, too, the bots are at work, and at some point they vote themselves and so on. Loans are also granted, and people delegate all their SP to one person for an upvote. That is all Steem that stays with very large accounts and circulates and is absorbed. So it is not only the small players who are scammers or empty pools, but also whales and Steem witnesses who participate or cooperate, and that is of course where the biggest problem lies. It is understandable that an investor also wants to see some form of return on their investment and not just a loss or the same balance, because that is not why you invest, and large sums of money are involved. But there are also those who literally take in as much as possible and are absolutely not interested in how to maintain this platform.
In any case, this platform does not pay for what you and I post. Not on the basis of any particular body. That was never the intention; the intention is that we pay and reward each other, but that message does not get across to most people, and that is the biggest problem. The sad thing is that it costs you nothing to give someone else an upvote, except a little time and a tap on that button. The reward you give is not deducted from your earnings, so what's the problem? There are many whose upvotes are worthless, and yet... when they give a vote, they quickly get a valuable upvote in return. So why not make the effort? Many small ones add up to a big one, right?
What will happen when there are no more SC teams? I think that nowadays SC01 and SC02 are already giving fewer and lower votes... Often to the same people, but still.
Suppose all this stops, how many people will continue to write? Of course, the advantage of this over Facebook or Instagram, for example, is that you can get paid, but that also costs money. And on X, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, you can also earn a lot of money if you know how.
And why do people talk for hours on WhatsApp but are too lazy to read a comment here and write a few replies or send a message to three people a day? I don't think WhatsApp pays yet. Not that I have WhatsApp, but that's how it seems to me.
Things are always weird than should be! I'd had read many super rare things about the Bifurcation, stolen tokens, but also about satanic rites about the Hive founders group, and as far as some of them involve large money amount I don't know what to think.
The fact is that when money is in the game the worst side of people is showed up.
Luckily most of the users is normal people, at least is what I want to believe.
0.00 SBD,
0.13 STEEM,
0.13 SP
Stolen tokens, downvoting, making people miserable, being abused.. it's all there not to forget to mention the threads especially at meeting days. If it comes to that there were communities/countries here as well fighting, threatening their members and there were Steemit days where those who went tried to kill others... money indeed shows the worst of people. (and without money they would kill for food, a watch, a shovel or whatever they want).
For sure the most users are normal and these people you will most likely not hear.
It's hard to fight scam, plagiarism, AI use and so on. It's also hard to be the witch (Steemit had them, still have them I assume).
Sometimes my capacity for amazement is overwhelmed, and that's saying something, because I 'm not exactly expecting much from people. I just think nobody should hurt others just for the sake of it, you know?
At the end of the day, it's better to focus on the good stuff, or else we,'d all go crazy 🤣
