RE: Steemit's evolution: The path to Pokemon Go is through the iFart
Maybe a mixture of feeling left behind, with the few chosen ones on the popular list just leaving a blazing trail, while oneself waits for a whale to upvote because any other upvote isn't worth a dime. As the article then moves closer to payout one feels left out, no matter how many votes. The contrast is just to big right now, as it doesn't matter how many votes one gets, but only which votes. Kind of a centralised power to me.
...and of course there is the usual "Im poor because you are rich" greed.
It will be interesting to see if this smooths out in the future. If more people actually go down and earn more by voting early, and if a dynamic sets in that leads to a better average $/vote ratio.
That's supposed to be the best strategy for a 'minnow', or someone with no voting power. The best way to use your vote is to look for stuff under 'new', and vote for what you think will be popular, and ideally, for what you think is good quality content. This is especially the way to go if you can't seem to get good rewards for your blog posts.
Bingo.
Also, when Adil's account was hacked, he had me post an article on his behalf and it has netted almost 7k so far... so it would appear that collaborating with more established writers could be quite useful. This happens all the time in the book publishing world.
