Yeah, that was always a problem in steemit. It's not because of people mainly but because how the system works. We need those upvotes not only for money but for visibility. Because the problem is that not the most commented and viewed posts are in trending but it's the most rewarded posts are ! That what makes people run after money even more !
If you remember we had the numbers of views in steemit about 2 years ago and it was removed. Maybe because they saw that people are building relations and they prefered them to care about money. That's a fork of people. Hard fork. lol
Let's fight to change things, @clixmoney. We can do that!
How we can fight a system that we can't cntrol. Big players decide here what should be changed and what's not ! Even the 4 week powerdown I see it fighted by them while already 20 million sp voted in it. The against proposal was created and something is telling me that the against proposal will gather more steem power and it will win in the end. The same about other things. I think we can only follow. This is what I feel. Let see how that proposal will be applied or not. I think that means a lot, if the community really decide or not. I hope it will.
