RE: HF20.. How it fucked minnows and plankton and will fuck us all eventually!
@bigdeej I love, that you have stated your opinion 👌 But I'm almost new on the platform and I dont have any of the problems. I can do what I whant 🤘🤘🤘 I love to see really high quality photos and stories. So no problem here. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THIS.
- I love voting bots 😍 Problem is, that they upvote everything! Who pays gets an upvote and that is OK.
BUT UPVOTING BAD QUALETY, FALS TAGING? HOW IS THIS HIGH QUALETY?
WTF Are we are all about quality? How can then bots upvote such posts?
P.s.: @bigdeej you made a tag introduceyourself on this post. Why?
I'm waiting to see if some orca/whale (with enough SP) will notice this:
IMHO, a perfect reason for a flag.
Why not #steemiteducation #minnowbooster #minnowsupport #minnowsupportprojector , or anything like that?
Oh my lord....lolo lolol....u just clowning on her now! #facts
This Hard Fork is a good thing, I invested in Steem Token and not Steemit. Steemit will plug along just fine but, Steem Token is headed to huge heights. Anyone selling “MILLIONS “ of Steem right now is dumb and deserves to be crypto broke.
Perfect reply, mr. OG @BRONCNUTZ . Well done.
If RC works correctly then it's a replacement to the bandwidth system. Basically, if the blockchain utilisation is low then you'll have no problems. When the blockchain gets busy then the costs gradually go up and that'll prioritise the larger stake holders.
I send you an SBI for sharing your experience.
Still need to see how plankton will have enough RC to ever make up votes, follow you back and post/comment enough to ever grow without buying more or getting support through delegation. This isn't a good path in my opinion. It encourages selfish behavior from people with a lot of SP to just self up vote and made joining now cost at least $100 which it was hard enough to get people to join when it was free to do...
You have 350 SP and rank 60 that is not new... I agree up vote bots are a big issue and are clearly abused by the worst actors. 100% Agree there! But if you re-read my post you will understand this effects those under 25 SP the hardest. You may not make enough comments/posts/votes per day to deplete your RC but there are members who do, especially the plankton who just joined..
Ideally it would be great if everyone powered up more and only focused on quality content but the masses are not like that. Facebook and Twitter and Instagram took off by NOT charging it's users a tax just to make a post and share something. That is how social media works. Pay to play is not a game most agree with. And the tax used to be just for voting, which most of us saw as fair. Your first few days you could go make some posts and comments and follow people and use your ~20% daily VP. NOW everything costs RC so when you run out you can't even follow someone.. This is TERRIBLE! I used the tag because new members need to hear this. They need to know the system is against them and that if they don't allocate their RC properly they will run out and get frustrated and leave.. That will never grow this platform. IF we want to grow STEEM we have to attract new members.. This upgrade was in favor of the rich, at the expense of the poor. This is insanity to me. If there is anything that should have been done it was the signup process. That STILL is not fixed! Getting new users on is so hard I land up paying for my friend's accounts just to get them on board. Now I have to delegate to them SP just so they can use the platform... It never used to be this way.
@bigdeej Thank you for the replay.
I'm still a noob, because I'm on the platform active only 3 months.
As I started, I quickly learned that has no use to make "useless actions/content" (post, comments, likes, followers, resteems....bla bla bla... you know what I mean)....
I was trying to trying to make 3-4 post per day.
HIGH QUALITY!!!
...hahaha....hahaha....OMG...I was so wrong.... HIGH QUALITY ? ...no...way
Then ok, let try to do 1 post per day. (oh..btw... look up my profile to se what I m doing. ( photography ))
I cant do more than 1 quality post per day and about comments...hm.. ok here we can talk about.. but still... did someone really write over 20 good quality comments?... hm... Hard to believe...
BUT THE END OF THE DAY
!STEEMIT IS ABOUT HIGH QUALITY CONTENT!
All new user how have joined and will join steemit will now come with the mindset, to create high quality content from the start.
Its not about how many comments you can give or how many friends can you follow THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THIS
No matter how good my content is, just a fracture of the people will see it. Bots are good, but they shouldn't upvote fals tags, because tags on steemit are everything. Or Im wrong?
But if you really believes in steemit, than $ for the start, are more than enough.
...for the end.
EVERY START IS HARD !
Exactly my thoughts. When everyone can post, comment and vote for free you get way too much worthless posts (that get upvoted as well). People comment "well said" hundreds of times/day to every post they see, just to receive rewards. That must be stopped because it also takes rewards from quality posts.
@mage00000 Well written! I think, we are moving in the right directions.... but it will take a time.
I disagree and as I stated it is causing whales and dolphins I personally know to power down not up as we have for the last almost 2 years... This is stupid! WHO thinks they will replace us with new members who buy into a pay for play platform when the bulk of the dolphins/whales leave for other platforms... There is no reason to invest more when you don't see any new members any more joining.. It has become a game of the elite winning and sucking the last of the reward pool out while they power down and cash out huge amounts since they claim it is just to "develop" the platform.. This isn't development this is suicide for the platform! New members will not replace the MILLIONS of SP we are about to loose because of HF20 and by the time the bulk of users figure it out the exchange rate for STEEM will be $0.10 USD! There is no path forward but to leave ASAP or hope and pray which many of us are still doing since we invested SOO much into this platform.. That is the only thing keeping it going.. US! We shouldn't blindly accept this we should be mad! Our voice does not matter apparently though and the elite ie ned and steemit inc decide what the chain will be.. Not one witness in the top 25 stood up to them... They all just went along with it despite a false start, 3 bugs, and 5 patches... That is not good development that is amature at best!
'Quality content' my ass... Steemit is all about popularity and bidbots... but i'm staying.
I get understand, what you mean.... but do as I do 😊, make the best of it 👌
That is all we can do but I also can power down a lot of my SP now instead of buying more like I planned to... This is not a good thing trust me I know people with over 100k some with over 1mln SP who are now powering down because of this when they were set to buy more just 2 months ago...
Yeah and this upgrade just made a lot of people who spent their VP up voting others realize there is no path forward and are powering down and/or self upvoting now because why waste RC on others when you can just help yourself.. This is not a good upgrade for anyone but whales in my opinion and bid bots! They benefit the most since they get paid for their votes and never have to even make a comment or post!
