RE: Some concerns about steemit.
From steemworld: for @haejin
To get the current list of your coming author rewards
just click the "Refresh" button and wait for the process to finish:
$ 22,810.92 ( ~ 54,861.39 USD )
( 3.229 % of total reward fund )
That is what he is expected to receive in the next 7 days.
( 3.229 % of total reward fund ) I have seen this number as high as 7.000 %.
For @berniesanders To get the current list of your coming author rewards just click the "Refresh" button and wait for the process to finish:
$ 914.75 ( ~ 2,179.94 USD )
( 0.129 % of total reward fund )
So is one person on occasion receiving between 3-7% of the reward pool really hurting the system. That is less than sells tax in many locations. But his action do provide a lot of rewards to other people supporting and against him. Drama sells. Drama attracts. I know most people on steemit are a lot younger than me, so you may have to ask your parents, Remember the Luke and Laura saga on I think it was General Hospital,(yep verified via google). That got TV ratings to beat all hell, everyone knew about it whether they watched or just heard co-workers talk about it.
What I am trying to say is, the drama they have created does not really in the over-all scope of things effect the individual to much, they still get rewards, i still get rewards, and you still get rewards. Only now more and more people can get rewards by just blogging about it. The TV Guides of old, at one point was worth a lot of money for that wedding cover of Luke and Laura. Was TV guide caught up in the Drama? Did they make money off of the Drama? You bet that was the best selling issue of TV guide ever, at the time.
So in conclusion, enjoy the show, and profit from it.
That's an interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing.
I think though, a key factor here is that.. People are coming to steemit with an expectation of something. Whether right or wrong, and then they see how hard it is and they see people making thousands of dollars posting like pictures of their food and simple status updates and.. They get turned off. Many won't participate because of that reason in a sense that they feel it's corrupt and unfair, in a different way than when they watch a drama show on TV they are sort of expecting drama.
But still a fair point, maybe some of the drama on here isn't something to be so concerned about. Maybe it's just drama and in some ways it could actually help by bringing more attention? Who knows.. Will consider it though! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I don't know if you have ever run across them but @mudcat36, and @davemccoy have started a newbieresteem projsect where we try to help mentor brand spanking new users. We try to show them how to make a better post, how to interact, and how to comment, along with a few methods of helping users that have less than 30 days on steemit. So we are trying to mitigate some of that perception about steemit.
No I don't recognize those names, I'll check out their pages. And.. that's cool to hear! That sounds like a good effort I could support. Cool beans.
I don't have a lot of time to help, but I did commit to once a week. Already helped my first person out, with what I thought was good solid advice. The person I tried to help @dointa from romania here is my post and in the remarks my comments to her/him about posting. It will give somewhat of an Idea of what they hope to do.
uffff, I am a dwarf minnow in my case it marks me 0.001% of the reward fund
LMAO - - Me too, but I am trying real hard to become a Japanese Betta Fighting fish. One week I raked in 0.003% of the reward pool. I was so so happy.
