RE: Steemit: The Anti-Social Network
now I will wait 9 more minutes to upvote you so that I too can artificially show my support of your point. I would of course upvote you when I feel like it, but if I did that then I don't help anyone other than a few whales. And yes, this is the most ridiculous asinine f'd up system ever. What kinda place do they think this is that people will pay to join and make comments?
I'm pissed and now the gloves are going to come off!
Seems more broken than before...I mean I've experienced my fare share of "nerf's" in the past, to put it in those terms, but this is beyond nerfing. In my opinion it seems broken and the only way to prosper as a newbie is to invest your own money to give yourself some SP and be able to flourish in the same way that I did when I started in 2017. I was able to comment all I wanted...there really weren't any noticeable limitations. It wasn't until I started to expand on my rock posts that consumed my bandwidth but that wasn't too bad either.
This new system is definitely jacked. However; this is certainly not the reason for my absence :P
This was almost planned to cater to bot owners. Not that all bots are bad, but anyone who took the time to make multiple accounts and scatter their wealth throughout them is still business as usual with high rewards but minnows are basically doomed for a real struggle to prosper.
Very nice analysis and I completely think your conclusions are quite possible. I don't know which whale class they are helping, but I do know they made a "choice" to support them over the little guys. There will be relatively no new blood coming, they better hope they don't get any more attrition because they can't afford it (or this place will be a ghost town)
"will be?"
I just take a look down my feed of people I follow, and look how many comments they get, and even well established bloggers on here are struggling with 0 - 2 comments.
yes... I can see the tumble weeds :p
