RE: The #RoadTo300SP - When We Grow Together & We Cannot Lose!

Hitting these marks is very engaging, and collecting rewards to reach those can be motivating. However, it may set the wrong incentive because some people may start just squeezing out the maximum rewards possible rather than generating value.

That's why I really like that you engage with the audience, show your appreciation of their activity (if it's worthy) and direct a share of the rewards pool to them. This is almost like Pavlov's dog :-)

yeah. sucks because anytime there is a monetary reward people will try to game the system.

but at the end of the day i can’t worry about it. i can just try to respond to everyone and let them know they are appreciated :)

Let's be honest, many people are already doing that.
Just take a look at the "Promoted" section of Steemit.
Bot boosted posts almost everywhere.

they are abused for sure. but sometimes there are creators that don’t get noticed unless they promote themselves. currently that’s the only way to get noticed in the short term.

Maybe you are also right.
Sometimes I also boost my posts, because nowadays almost no one cares about my posts.
I mostly boost my posts not with paid upvote bots, but with free upvote bots.
Most of the upvote values on my posts comes from free upvote bots.

interesting. didn’t even know there were free ones.

I mostly use the free upvote bot of the Minnow Support Project.
You can find it on the Peace, Abundance, Liberty Discord server.
You can use that bot for almost any kind of posts.
Steem Monsters also have a free upvote bot on their Discord server, but only for Steem Monsters posts.

Exactly. This has been bothering me for a long time, as well. Why don't clients just display trending topics based on metrics different than just rewards?

lol that would be awesome. things like content creators actually responding to people that comment on their posts. i’ve stopped going to some creators stuff now simply because they don’t even say ‘thanks for stopping by’ never mind a small upvote.
