RE: AUTHENTICITY
No club, no reward?
This is not true and a rule only set for SEC contests although engagement should be the leading factor.
No club, no upvote are made up rules by communities!
The Steem Curators their task is to upvote those without a club as well! They can use #noclub to be found. A reason why an upvote can be denied is that er is no "commitment" or trace of "investment" in Steemit. One way to proof this is upvoting others (CSI score), commenting and investing.
Like @solperez already said there are accounts receiving high upvotes though there's no commitment (yet). This should make admins, mods and hosts consider why it is they ask for club members only.
Most likely the answer is: it gives me or I hope for a high upvote
I agree with your thoughts. Maybe you are more senior than me.Because immediately after starting my Steemit journey, Steemit Inc.'s rules started applying, and we kept following them. And when we didn't, we didn't see anything except ignorance.
And in my opinion, the last sentence of your comment is perfect.
Actually "we" did not... a part did. It turns out there's a huge group not joining. Have a look at Xpilar.. it feels to me they are if not a big the most famous community and they do receive support.
Next to the part we swim around there's way more Steemit and if we like it or not they do invest in this platform. Perhaps not with time or good content but I see jokes, thoughts, posts I like to read watch without all the fuss and many of them have a big wallet. Each one of them is an investor and important to Steemit. They will not leave, there are plenty who started before the hard fork.
Will everyone leave? Not everyone. There are plenty addicted to the platform. There might be a loss of content but the question is if that's a problem. There's plenty to read and no one does, many are just producing content 2-4 times per day even if they have nothing to share.
What strikes me most is that till today upvoting someone even if the content is read is NOT a habit. Even if you can win a contest by upvoting, resteeming and leaving a comment the first two are ignored. How lazy can one be? Or how easy should contests be to make people join? Should we beg or give it away to? For what reason exactly?
