RE: Steemit is a Brave Verified Creator ... But Are They Accepting Rewards for Our Content?
Who knows how much they'll even take in from Brave. I see your point about tipping individual users for their specific content though, and that would be my first reaction too. On the other hand, Steemit Inc has operating costs including hosting steemit.com. They presumably are still making most of their revenue from sales of STEEM tokens. If they were able to make some extra revenue on the back of another token's market, it would (in theory) reduce some selling pressure on the STEEM market.
Everyone told me you died ... good to see that was just a brospiracy. =)
If my tiny ass websites where Steemians goof off at can pull in $25 a month in BAT, I can imagine Steemit might make a nice chunk of change off this, especially since this website is providing visitors (our) content that's being absorbed vs simply begging for help.
What's remarkable to me is that A) They either know they're being dicks and doing it anyway or B) they don't know they're being dicks yet claim to be social media guru's. Either way I'm not real impressed. I'm no social media guru, but I know they're being dicks by doing this and I'm aware of this type of thing happening in the past. It just doesn't look good and it should end before someone that actually matters starts spewing off about it vs some old ass anon bro on the interstate.
It's also a very simple fix, make it clear in their tip header who is actually being tipped and what is being tipped.
Good to see you alive, take care!
