What is going on with trending?
Is it just me or are the payouts unusually low?
Have communities allowed high value posts to go mia?
Why are low value posts, <10stu, even on trending?
Have antiabuse efforts finally won the tug of war on the pool?
Is more stake sitting idle?
I can't tell that my vote is any larger, as would be the case if significant stake went idle.
Payouts at the bottom would widen, too.
The top ten votes take 25% of the pool. (Source: @statsmonkey)
And, those top value accounts get 9 more votes each.
Steem is a commons, don't you know?
Steem really needs to finish its transition from top accounts creating bag holders to top accounts looking for long term value.
Clearly, the plan, for over two years, was strip as much value as possible, for some of us.
I, for one hope those days are behind us.
If you got ideas as to why trending has dropped in value, put it in the comments.
Like any society, it can evolve or devolve, but you can't stop it from changing. At something is being attempted.
Idk man...maybe check your tags?
Most of the stuff I see are in the $20s.
Hmm,...bet you are right.
Trending does look different this time.
I knew our greedy f***ks hadn't given up.
Who's bright idea was that little trick?
supporting bullshit flag wars now are you. good to know what you are really about lol
and you out there pretending to be in favor of anarchism.
What a fraud you turned out be
Wtf you mumbling about?
I follow trails, who'd i flag you got a problem with?
I looked at trending once back in 2016 - but it sucked - never went back
This month I'm watching the price and volume of steem - that is getting more interesting
Yes, the time has gone for creating bag holders, we are a real coin, now!
Who loooks at trending?
I look at my feed, thats much more relevant - to me!
Lol, apparently when you click trending the trick is to take you to the post you are on tag's trending feed.
Nice deception that one.
If you don't check every now and then how you gonna know if we are winning?
For the meek, what more is to be expected from a crapitalistic society(network or whatever)?
Were just the plankton eating the scraps while whales eat us up. but ahh, the scraps are good and we got to defecate as well. hopefully one day the feces will accumulate enough to be noticeable to show we exist too.
In the end though, "money*" is not our meal. But we must protect our own "money∆" from being taken.
Stay true the path that will unveil in due time(through the works). apocalypse rising. #gnosis
*: that which is valuable as exchangeable for monetary society
∆: That which holds true value within our souls. The sorcerers stone for example. esoterically speaking.
Keep working, stop paying!
easier said than done. however I'll end up "charged" with theft, kidnapped then thrown in a cage. Here in Mexico sometimes you will never even get a chance to have a court hearing. The main fight is in the streets during the initial con-front-ation against these street terrorists. Military runs heavy here in my town.
"keep working stop paying" falls right on line with Mr. Fresco's Venus Project. The Idea O try to keep pushing forward, not tp the adults, but to the young children because the adults are beyond repair already. hopefully these seeds find stable ground and grow precious fruit for our future generations tp grow and prosper together with nature as things should be.
apart from that, I'm just a slave to capitalism and its threats.
proceeding at all times under threat, duress and coercion.
Yes, here is the original thesis.
I've been to mexico, they didn't give me a hearing before deporting me.
I ran out of money in aca.
I didn't ask to stay, i had business back here.
I'd be there now, if i had found a good job.
Jobs came easy to me but I turned down so many for they involved working in unwell toxic areas with poor ventilation system at the "ESJ" in Aldama, Chihuahua (another circus town). Slowly finding the woke(or whatever that means) individuals.
I didn't think it would be all that hard to find work, either.
Probably my choices in lower population density east mexico had something to do with it.
I think somebody told me that Aldama was radioactive?
The laat time I checked it showed some levels of concern. the people here are accustomed to it, seems like. Personally I feel drained of energy everyday and when i leave town I feel the difference almost immediately its incredible. There's heavy metals in the mountains surrounding the town. Have to do more research on it and get back to it with sources when I get the time.
And Yes, I was tye one that told you long before. speaking to Redpilltalk
Hey, i was wondering where you went.
I'd guess the natives to the area have adapted genetically.
There is some unknown to me function which is pricing account creation tokens at a much higher VEST amount than they had been. Even at 100% power my account can no longer afford one. That is after having excepted 79 previously.
I think the spammers are renting delegation to create more scamming accounts.
Accounts are getting bid up, must be a sign.
Of what?
I don't know.
The price rise function is built into the code to favor those with more stake.
@freebornangel
Thank you for your post.
In response to your antiabuse statement and the tug of war:
I've only been active on Steemit since the end of December 2019. I saw a shift from "it's ok to buy votes" to "buying votes is unacceptable and there will be consequences". I also started seeing a continuous and reliable push to ensure articles were plagiarism-free. It was kind of refreshing, but I'm not certain many people like it. The majority of my articles are STEM-related so I'm accustomed to it.
For downvoting, I seeing downvotes probably as a means of limiting the profit spread. I haven't seen it as much for poor content, but as no reasons are assigned to a downvote I am only guessing.
Is there a way to trend data on Steem for pattern analyses outside of paying 40 SBD/month? I'd love to check out that option as I do database analyses IRL.
Have a great night.
