RE: Discussion: Are Fair and Equitable "Meritocracies" Even POSSIBLE?
Absolutely agree with you, reward system is far from ideal. But like everywhere the engagement is something that always rewarded. Being a new user it is important how to be visible, nowadays the Steemit Team created its ecosystem where such people can build up their relationship with appropriate curators or communities and start up their blogging. There is a bigger opportunity to build up the Steem Power through challenges and comments. I think motivated people like young people who anyway spent majority of their time in Internet have great potential to grow on such platform :)
Because I am somewhat of an optimist and idealist by nature, I still have hopes that what we're doing here is at least a step towards creating a better way for everyone to interact with each other. Even if Steemit itself does not become "the next big thing," I still feel hopeful that it can be a learning place and model for those who build new ventures along these lines.
In the meantime, I am just happy to be part of this adventure! And the rewards here — "ideal" or otherwise — are certainly better than on Facebook or Twitter!
