RE: Only-Upvote-Others-Athon - Join Up, It's Free :)
Thats easier to say for someone who gets 274$ for just 30 votes. We minnows dont earn much from it. thats why we vote ourselves. I hope you understand my point
I certainy do and I do think it is a bit insensitive for someone so affluent to be critical of others for seeking the very thing they likely have begun to take for granted.
I am a fan of @krnel because he does great stuff. However, this is same old, same old...
The 1% have 99% of the wealth and they expect the 99% with 1% of the wealth to do all the heavy lifting and pay for it all. One aspect ignored here is that some of us don't have money to throw around at others. We have a burden and moral obligation to keep ourselves alive first. This is the fundamental order of nature.
The rich want to devour the poor and then ask them to be altruists for the sake of "social media". This article needs to be directed at greedy whales who do a lot more damage than minnows scuffling for nickles and dimes. A minnows actions are mostly meaningless, but whales distributing hundreds and thousands of dollars daily in a grand scheme to fool the bottom of the food chain into thinking it's all about skill and talent? P.T. Barnum once said there is a sucker born every minute. Around here it's more like every three seconds.
What a reply, like seriously, you nailed it!
You deserve a $100 for this comment, I will give you what I have!
And worried too, your comment might get flagged by a big fish :P
very well said sir kudos to you -- upvote
I submit that it is minnows self votes that are mostly meaningless, as they have great value in encouraging others, who would be excited to receive your vote. Would you rather have $.02, or a friend?
I do understand discouragement. I have posts in the pipeline that have $.03 in rewards. I am not rich, except in friends.
If you have a look at my latest post, you will see how much more valuable community is to me than mere money (I don't want to link it here, because that would be spammy). I only suggest it because it so exemplifies my point.
We all will be big one day for sure!
LOL. You think I get voted by the same high SP people each time? No. Some people saw it and liked it, and not my others posts hehe. You don't earn much because you just started and need to get noticed for the content you put out. It can take time, for some it's quicker. Some people have accounts that are newer than min and make hundreds per post each day.
@krnel was a minnow once too. I am a Krill now, lol. If you are only here for money, you won't receive the most valuable thing Steemit has to offer, which is community.
Consider that you can cast ~10 votes a day, but if you attract 10 followers, they can cast 100. It is far more profitable, even only in terms of money, to cast your votes for others, because they have far more votes they can cast for you.
