RE: Help Fix Steem's Economy!
Why are people in these communities “rewarding minnows” instead of rewarding creators of the content that they like?
This notion that we must reward all of the minnows is at the core of most of the problems with this platform. This is supposed to be based on social media concepts (and investment/stakeholding).
Do you go around Facebook or YouTube and only look for posts and videos from unknown users who get no attention just to give them a like or an upvote? Or do you just vote them up because you enjoyed the content?
Why does one’s wallet size matter so much here when it comes to who deserves your vote?
Very fair point, but I must say that that it's far more common than not for a whale to continue to upvote and engage with their fellow whales because they have more earning potential for them.
This leaves a small window for interacting with others, which would make this place retain and attract more people, which is healthier for the long run.
I struggle to find whales that are committed to providing quality upvotable content, yet as you know, the posts are still upvoted and supported (and realistically for reasons likely outside of it being good content).
The wallet size doesn't matter - it is our community based discussion which does.
