Another topic that fascinates me about #steemit is the valuation they accredit to each of our posts and tags. It's hard for me to take any of the dollar amounts, associated with each post, seriously. What is the algorithm used to calculate that total? Is it easy to understand or is it some #crypto mumbo jumbo that goes way above my pay grade?
It's pretty cool to see which tags resonate the most with steemians, but it's hard to genuinely believe that the SBD payouts are legit. It gives me a lot to consider, when tagging my posts because I want to reward topics and posters that inspire me or give me food for thought. I don't want to reward bots or scammers that only care about upvoting.
Knowing about the tagging payouts helps me make logical decisions about where to invest my energies and I'm thankful for that transparency. It's the first true bit I've seen so far and am eager for more.
