If one has no talent to add and no possibility to invest to earn in an economy that rewards on talent and provides return on investments, what happens?
Receive a huge delegation and sell votes?
Check out sends to bots and vote before the bot?
What would happen if those 50,000 creators decided to jump the Patreon ship for some reason and board Steem? What would happen if thy carried their million paying followers across with them? Could it happen? An SMT could essentially just create an identical look and feel platform and offer an identical service as well as adding all of the benefits a blockchain holds, including the freedom of content that the centralized platforms cannot.
A great point. This is what first mover advantage could give Steem. Everyone already close to and already monetizing content in some way will surely be interested in 3 second, free transfers.
There is a lot to look forward to here :)
Lol. Not with RCs only.
True. That depends how much stake heads out to the SMTs. There's a possibility, that unless STEEM value is low, that the bots will still be here shoveling shit on top of rubbish - their own ecosystem. Hopefully this won't come true, and there will be value with delegations elsewhere.
