RE: You wanted Steem to be fair
It depends. I know many people who support others through those kinds of posts however, it is an opportuity for many and even though there might be some more deserving, they aren't necessarily known so, what then? If they aren't on that post and no one is willing to put their name forward? This is the problem though as most people who may deserve don't ask but at the same time, they probably should learn to ask also.
The other problem with those kinds of posts as illustrations of the ecosystem is that one can't see who isn't there by choice. I think that in the time I have been here, I have never been on one of them for myself but, I have encouraged others to put their hand up to be considered and, have supported some in that too.
Fairness is a strange animal because, it doesn't exist.
I mean it would have probably been a better idea if Acid made the choice himself. It shouldnt be about what you think you deserve. It should be about what others think you deserve. Thats a problem right now since the focus of people is completely on themselves.
Im not saying that the folks in Acids comment section are hypocrites, i cant know their frame of mind or values. That was an example in case they all were the kind that would scream "unfair" when trash hits trending, quality goes unrewarded or whales selfvotes... But id go with this SNL sketch for your question that paints well, what i mean in this case.
I will have to watch it later as I don't have a headset and everyone is asleep, but I thought I would leave you with a comment from another user I just got:
:D
... indeed. :)
