RE: 💭 Your Steemit Time Challenge
It's more the concept that most of the big payouts are because the author has "bought" their upvote which new users won't be aware of (hence the demoralising aspect). Whether that's from UpVu, Tipu, bidvote or a delegation to justyy or another user. There are so many new users who have replied "tipu curate" on their own posts or tagged upvu / tipu.
So they see the $100 payout and think that's a realistic payout if they write a good quality post whereas a payout of $2 of "manual curation" would be impressive.
I was certainly confused by the big payouts to somebody who'd shared a picture of a coin.
well, new users sooner or later will became experienced users if they do communicate and engage with their native (or not) language communities / good (experienced) steemians. if they stuck to posting posts vs reading commenting and engaging like oysters in their shell - well, perhaps then they will never know stuff like this at all. plausible?
Absolutely - The sad thing is that unrealistic expectations of making thousands of dollars when people join quickly destroys the spirit when the first 5 posts earn $0.01 (from steem-history) and good authors quickly leave.
At the moment, I do my best to support good authors in the hope that they stay but it's a real (Steemit Time) challenge with everything else I want to do on the platform (including maintaining existing relationships). A lot like the "New Business" / "Existing Customer" challenge in the world of business.
I'm starting to ramble now 😆
