RE: The End of Student & Steem
Okay MRr 71-year-old. You want to start a community before you leave? Seriously? What's the point if you leave?
Also, why should you invest your earnings in a community instead of investing it and make sure you have a pension for the next 30 years you have to foresee in your "salary"?
I find it nonsense to say the founder of a community should be rich to start one. You can start one for you or you can find a group likeminded and stick your heads together and your capital and run it but the question remains: why should you or why should I pay others, reward them? Shouldn't there be something in return?
What do you think @joslud?
I mean why should the owner of a community pay the members? It's what I do in a way by upvoting a group with more than 1 account but just like I said goodbye to Student & Steem I believe the time is also right to ask myself why I keep upvoting because it feels as if I am one of those rare species who still does out of habit.
Greeting to your granddaughter!
My opinion, I believe in the community as a need for the decentralization of the blockchain, to create groups of users with similar interests. I don't agree that the creator or administrator is the only one who paid.
The impression I have at present is that communities are becoming fossilized due to the amount of regulations.
I am clear that Steemit is a Social Network that generates dividends. A community where everyone invests and the profits are distributed equally.
I like Tipu's bonus system, which in some way challenges you to find good content and bet on it by voting for it. The system calculates the profits for that day and distributes it based on your work done. Although it is not a community, it does provide an incentive to continue curating content.
So in some way a community needs to incentivize its subscribers, one way is by granting a dividend by being able to vote on their content, which is another way. If the rules are agreed upon, that's fine by me. In addition to the others you've mentioned.
Personally, I have my standard for deciding what and who to vote for, I don't feel obligated to vote for everything and everyone.
0.00 SBD,
0.10 STEEM,
0.10 SP
I thought there was a time we all were able to send a tip to someone. What happened with that option?
If it comes to paying I like to put it the other way: should the moderators grow a community, pay for everything while it isn't theirs, they are not paid? Because that's the problem here. I don't mind saving for what is mine or what I set up for someone else or a group to upvote but no one pays me to be a moderator or ever did. Instead I am asked to pay for all costs.
