RE: This could lead to the downfall of Steemit.
I'd have no problem AT ALL if every post was worth a dollar...
It's impossible to make progress at .06 per, though (or 0 if we don't upvote ourselves), and that's what many of us are stuck with no matter how much effort we pour into our posts if we're just not "the cool kids", embracing the popular, whether it's platitudes about cryptocurrency or smoking weed.
I somehow don't think my write-up on the elegance of k-space on dealing with conceptual problems of electron and muon interaction in bulk solids is going to gather too many whales.
I WAS genuinely thrilled that I did attract Bonnie ( @legionsound ) to listen to an Arvo Part composition on @steemradio-classical, but that was at least as much personal favortism as anything awesome I'd done in posting it (and I'm not knocking her support at all, because I genuinely admire HER mucic)- her single upvote is worth more than 10 of mine, but more importantly, she now has another thread in her musical fabric.
Make the investment, make the investment, that's all I have been doing, I have never cash out, I always have a little giveaway and I invest in steem power. I have never had a post that has made 100USD and it really does not bother me. I just keep at it, continue to make good content and have fun well doing it. I realize very early if you focus on payout you would end up mentally f.... and even when someone comments and their comment worth more than my post, i enjoy it because am starting to attract the kind of people I would like upvoting my post. Soon I would get the point where I would enjoy my payment for now, I am just happy I found steemit and I am getting something out of this social media buzz. I have twitter, facebook, instragram, etc, i ain't get shit from them, I rather invest my time and money here...
Dammit! I am quite interested in physics. Can you link that post so I don't have to scour your blog?
Gotta write the thing up first, there's a TON of solid state/condensed matter physics to correlate with that fateful class 35 years ago, a considerably psychedelic experience at the time, when that ephemeral concept of density of states suddenly jumped out of the page and pimp-slapped me with those hard geometrical shapes...
