RE: Minnow Support Project Weekly Resteem Contest Winners!
That's a very cool initiative.But i think now what is going in steemit that is not going to be good for steemit.com.Because the minnows needs suport from the whales,but they are not doing that.So lots of new comers are getting frustrated and the whales are abusing their voting power.They are upvoting not on the merit of the post,but who has post that they are upvoting the post on basis of that.If steemit wants to grow as a community then the whales have to change their attitude.Here is a kind of monopoly is going in steemit.If steemit wants to survive then the whales have to support the minnows.Thanks for the post.Help this comment to reach to the whales.@upvoted@resteemed
YES!
I wish my upvote was worth more than $0.00... but no whales ever upvote me partly for reasons you outlined.
One more problem is most of the whale doesn't read our comments totally.How good content we provide that doesn't reach to them.
I wonder how the SteemIt community can give Whales incentive to support Minnows.
What current incentives is anybody aware of?
That said I do appreciate the upvotes from people with little voting power because it at least means someone may have looked at what I made and liked it! It does make it dificult to justify spending the right amount of time on a post to have it actually be quality content.
This is one reason why the people at the PAL discord group and @mspsteem suggest you don't begin by creating really involved posts! Lol. For this reason I feel that the minnow support project is attempting to address exactly what your concerns are! They are good people who've done well on #Steemit who are trying very hard to increase visibility of other good people who are just beginning in their endeavor to add value to the platform so that it will grow in the right way to have it succeed!
Most likely, the people you are finding yourself frustrated by have so much (in the way pf resources) that they don't care near as much if this platform succeeds. But I've seen many doing a lot to help minnows grow on Steemit! It really is worth the time in IMHO to listen to the radio shows they do at PAL and for the @minnowsupport Project, and to get involved with the initiatives and conversations they are having before you give up on contributing to the platform!
These are just my thoughts on the subject. It's too easy to become bitter after so long of watching society collapse into a sh** pile because of bullys that have succeeded far to often by ravaging the lives of others. This place might be a step in changing that if we don't choose to allow it to happen again. Only time will tell I suppose. :)
