We all love people that laugh at their own jokes. lol!
We love it when people re-enact scenes from movies that we haven't seen too. Classic.
We also love it when people recount their stories about how they 'burned' someone online.. "and then I said... then he said... and I said... lol, it was awesome, you should have been there, I was awesome! lolol!"
We love it when people talk about how awesome they are and we also love it when they quote others who talk about how awesome others think they are too. "I am awesome, everyone says so. lol"
Credit where credit is due as they say.
So why complain when people upvote their content in a site that rewards quality? After all, if someone writes a comment that they see as quality they should by all means upvote themselves. That is the point.
Today I saw from a person, and I quote:
100% agree. - $25.25
Now, he has bought into the site by the looks in May 2017, his account is worth 100,000 and he hasn't started blogging. He comments a hell of a lot though, all upvoted 100% by himself.
Lets view a bit more of the literary gold:
hehe - $24.34
217 :) - $24.73
Beautiful! - $25.77
Welcome to Steem! - $22.79
This is awesome for a site looking to be built on the reward of quality content. This means that people are investing heavily only to get access to the pool of resources but not actually rewarding much of the content providers here.
So the majority of the pool shrinks to only a few hundred accounts and the few hundred thousand survive off the water splashed out of the pool. Kind of like how scum survives around the edges of a pond. Forget minnows, bacteria will have trouble surviving with so little moisture if this continues. lol!
If everyone does this, the site will be dead almost instantly, wouldn't it?
I can't see how people acting similar to above will be in it for the Steemit long-run. They will make what they can and when it looks like it won't last, 13 weeks later their capital will be gone again, plus the significant amounts they have been reward raping from the pool in the lead up.
That means there may be no long-run at all and those acting like above are the smart money in a Ponzi scheme that got out before the collapse. Even though, they are the ones that caused the collapse themselves.
But hey, as long as we keep posting good quality content consistently the site will survive and the rewards will come. To someone at least.
Take deep breaths and suck all the humidity out of the air as possible. lololol! upvote!
