Thank you Nonso. I have been saying there is no such thing as altruism and true selflessness for a while now and trying to explain why this is. Most people get it when I do, but it's good to know I'm not the only one to come to this conclusion. There are whales here who try to do good things with their SP to share it around more, but their SP being here is an investment. They don't keep it here at their own loss or expense, they just use it in a way that is helpful to others as well as themselves.

Anyone who thinks everyone else should be totally selfless needs to look at themselves for a moment. Generally they want others to be more selfless so that they can benefit from it. Generous people are generous for their own benefit because they see that helping others can help them too.

When new dapps start they go all out to encourage use of their dapp and I'm starting to wonder if doing it via curation actually ends up being detrimental in the long run. People get too used to it, but as the dapp gets more popular it's hard to reach everyone and sustain that level of curation. I think partiko got it right in the partiko points for activity. These can be redeemed for upvotes at a capped level which they can sustain. They have gone more into the community feel of things and trying to make partiko a useable dapp that people enjoy using. They may not be making their users rich quick, but they aren't giving expectations which will be disappointing later down the line. @crypto.talk seems to know what he's doing.
