RE: Steemvoter.com Author Spotlight Dec 31st 2016 (Happy New Years!!!)
Good .. let's get back to rational arguments. I'll remove my downvote. In the meantime, maybe we can find a way to fix the basic issue that i am having and that is: the unalignment betwen those that benefit from your free aervice and those that actually pay. Steem is perfectly fit for asking micropayments for servives (asking 5$ a month in sbd) .. and IMHO (thats what i expressed multiple tines now) those that benefit should be those to approach for funding. I am sure you understand that I (as a competitor) disagree with paying your rewards while my service does not make nearly as much money as yours (i dont use my customers voting power)
Ok so this is what I said to you on your blog just to tie up the conversation here:
Ok so i don't understand what you mean about unalignment between those that benefit from our free service and those that pay. Over 800 accounts use our service and upvote everyone else, more than 700 000 daily votes take place with our service, so where aren't people benefiting? Beside curation, it is a convenience tool, I have 10 accounts and want to vote with all on a specific author regularly, why must I manually do each one and spend countless minutes switching accounts daily, instead of using steemvoter.
Using customer voting power is innovative, either they are going to pay with liquid rewards or with their vote, it all came from the same blockchain at some point. It's just a great freemium way of marketing. We know what this community can be like so we have started working on a paid model, but this post was attacked before we could even do anything in the new year.
Why do you have to mention that you make so much less on streemian and compare? I mean what of your 46K piston post and several others of 8K and 2K, I mean common, cut the small guys some slack, whales come and weigh in on how much posts are making yet they have accounts with hundreds of thousands of SP, that's hypocritical. We will be lucky to make 2K per month, and even then there are server costs and we share the account between two people, how can people ever make Steem a full time job if their is always a ceiling on earnings placed on projects and individuals, even a ceiling below minimum wage which is what this is anyway.
Just because you don't or didn't think of collecting funds for your service in this way doesn't make our way bad, we represent a large majority of the active community by way of the 800 accounts on our service, so consensus in numbers is in our favour.
I called you out because above Clayop (who i have now reconciled with in witness chat) namedropped your service in our post as if to tell people to use that instead so I immediately drew inference that you were connected with him somehow, I'm hoping that's not the case.
I am also hoping you have nothing to do with the @anonymous account auto-flagging our comments made from the @steemvoter account. We have taken counter measures and have auto-commented to drain that account's voting power to near zero now. It's an old account from the 25th March and had to have been created by an early adopter, I truly hope it is not you.
