RE: Speaker Meeting 2017! Chapter 3: Alcohol
@berniesanders I hear you and see points I agree with and disagree with...
- I agree that multiple posts a day from a huge author is a bit much.
- He obviously gets a ton of votes because of who he is rather than what he is saying.
However
- This topic in particular can be pretty important for a LOT of people.
- You could say something similar about all the upvotes on your comments here.
Honestly, I enjoy chatting with you in steemit.chat, but I also respect @jerrybanfield because he brought me and a whole lot of other users here. I think there is more than simple reward pool rape going on, thats all.
All of those votes are my accounts and they serve a purpose, and that isn't for the rewards.
I just want to address your point on he gets paid for who he is not what he is saying- isn't that the same case for example like Twitter. Taylor swift or another big name gets millions of followers or mark zuckerberg, but they aren't coming out with messages of hope right? They can post a picture of their finger and get paid for it. So if @jerrybanfield deserves to get paid then let him get it! :) let's all support eachother.
Celebs on twitter are not paid the same way we are here. The reward pool here is limited. You can argue that by posting generic content daily, someone is taking advantage of their fame.
