As I am sure you all have noticed Steemit has become Contest and Games central! Also notice all the back scratching that is happening and much due out of necessity in some cases. I log on and the inevitable rush of messages from people I don't know flood in asking for money, what 30 new contests or games just dropped or in some cases people yelling that their posts made no money and have no clue who they are. Now many value unique blogs and content but are feeling that some of the art and "blogging" that made Steemit great is being sandwiched in between "Free shitcoins for this or Win SBD's for the best Ass!"
Now some Contests are very well executed and promote the overall creativity and community vibe on parts of steemit, others are so complicated and jumping through hoops like a poodle it seems like we are the Circus and Bread for figuring out whose ass to kiss for this week. Loyalty goes a long way imho, not hopping around for easy money (no such thing long-term, everything has a price...)
The Click Banners being added to other peoples content in Comments
Please Don't, I propose next time someone says "cool" under comments then plasters their own huge banner for money and advertising themselves just make it go poooof! Many of us speak about the future path(s) everything will take. Is it going to be non-stop pimping of everyone trying to make a buck (nothing wrong with that just a bit of finesse can go a long way versus a message with 5 posts saying "U VOTE ME", and nothing else.
