RE: To Vote Up or to Not Vote Up? Confronting Truth About Our Human Mind Behind Decision-Making on Steemit – A Behavioural Economics Approach
Of course, I believe it's important to put your brains behind your work but I'm pretty sure that's not enough nowadays. Your post isn't noticed as long as there's no high amount of upvotes/money on your account. There's just a small group of users in the trending lists .. Being befriended with a whale makes you a good potential celebrity on Steemit. Whether these posts are full of quality stuff... I doubt about it. It's something we should take into account...
I agree, the whales have too much clout compared to the minnows, but give it a month and the latest batch of minnows will get a bit of steem going and provided they don't squander their rewards and re-invest it into steem power indicating their dedication for the long term, they will build bit by bit and over a month they can go from the 3 STEEM POWER that comes free with signup to potentially multiples. It's not a get rich quick scheme, it's a participation game that will become balanced the more time goes on. The whales are early adopters and developers, they got their rewards for early participation. We are what? 3 months in, imagine where the minnows of today will be in 3 months...?!
