What these people? forget is that everything is public on the blockchan, anyone can check into what is going on in whatever account, rewards in, out, patterns of transfers inward/outward to/from accounts etc. It looks like all these 'trail' accounts are all operated by @trail and regularly transfers occur back to the 'holding' account before exit out to exchanges.
It certainly seems like these 'trail' 'services' are all designed to garner upvotes for those who participate....but if you look at where the rewards are being transferred to @trail @uwelang and others ( go check wallets) in very large amounts which do not reflect the authors rewards at all.
Perhaps if they truly wanted to help the community they would redistribute the rewards to the 'trail' community. instead of keeping them. Perhaps it's time to MUTE these 'trail accounts and support authors directly?
I think they are successful because the newly joined members on Steemit are so desperate to get the big rewards they believe the hype of the 'trail' creators.
SteemTrail is one of the oldest and largest projects on STEEM... We are successful because we work hard and fought through the bad times. We are still here, and with a growing and excited community, we will stay.
So, dont think for a moment that we have just popped up....we have been here grinding it out everyday. never left because we believe in the platform and the community.
this means nothing. if religion has taught us anything its that the age and popularity of a concept has nothing to do with its accuracy or level of morality.
Sorry, but this doesn't begin to answer what has been questioned here, so it simply comes off as entitled avoidance.
The accusation wasn't that this was some fly-by-night scam, but specifically that lately this model, absent any changes, inequitably benefits older members feeding the trails with lower-effort posts versus the newer content creators, for the latters' more substantive body of work per topic.
Answering the legitimate concerns raised, as other trailblazers have done here, would have been a better use of today's "grinding", in my opinion.
No one's automatically entitled to the benefits of anyone's hard work because you've been "grinding everyday for years" for your own wallet, waiting for this exact scenario.
Some people here seem to be forgetting whose hands are actually feeding them.
Give some link for reading about project?
What happened to the TRAIL coin deposits? I will unfollow at Streemian if this goes unanswered...
Amen to this
