Being on Steemit for 2 months and a bit now I have already seen major problems that hold back the growth of Steemit.
- Remove the Follower Option/ No More Followers
- Daily earning limit of $100 or however much is needed to maintain the reward pool.
Adjusting these two things will have great impact on the platform the reason why would be the following:
The Top Posters could still easily reach a $100 income a day if they post 'quality content' of course.
(Many times they don't post quality content yet still get an insane amount of votes because of the Follower system, which is just another word for Pyramid system, which keeps the rich getting richer and the poor remain poor.)
There are People who are always in the trending tab but not because of quality post just because they have followers that wanna cash in on the popularity of others, or tits.
THE BENEFITS OF SUCH A CHANGE:
1. Other people who are not yet Members on Steemit would realize you don't need to build up a follower base in order to earn, and will be more likely to join Steemit.
(I once came to the conclusion that only 5% of the Member base is active)
2. As a result, steemit will grow 50-75% Faster than it already has.
(And the Daily activity would go from 5% to at least 15%-30%)
3. In later stages, the Daily Limit that is allowed to be Earned can become greater according to the growth of steemit itself.
I have seen many times problems being posted about the reward pool getting drained, well nothing is really being done about it to make it stable. the obvious problem is not the new people that abuse it, they are showing you that the system is flawed, but the ones that are doing it since steemit's inception are the problem.
If you have around 550 followers like me that means you only have around 10 Real Followers
If you have around 1000 Followers you have around 20-50 Real Followers
If you have around 2000-4000 Followers You have around 100-200 Real Followers
So basically Followers don't mean anything it just doesn't, Followers basically means "Oh! you earn a lot so i'm gonna post something on your post so in the hopes, I get visibility on my post, I actually don't care about your post Jinx!"
This is why i have been authentic from the start and posted on that which interests me and that which deserves to be resteemed i will resteem and that what doesn't, can fuck off thank you very much.
Its just a sponge, a pyramid system atm.
It's no better than facebook or any other social media at this time.
Just the same idea but rebranded.
And if the platform doesn't make changes you will continue to see a 5% activity and a further Pyramid scheme unfold.
And eventually, the price of Steem itself won't move at all, and it's clearly visible isn't it, For how long has the price been stagnant?.
One other thing would also be to allow people to instantly create a Tag in the database for topic expansion.
The hastle of doing it right now just sucks.Integrate the Steem.chat into steemit itself. To create an invironment of community.
Separating chat from the official Platform basically isn't complete. Its sloppy
THESE FEW THINGS ALONE HOLD THE POTENTIAL FOR STEEMIT TO GROW MASSIVELY
And to the top earners who make $200 a day or more, i'm not after your money, I couldn't care less, but what I do care about is the fair distribution of quality content because that is what steemit stand for right? well it should be but right now it does not.
If these changes are made then EVERY POST has the Potential to Rise to the Top, EVERY SINGLE ON OF THEM.
Think about it let it sink in so that it can raise you up and make you understand what im talking about.
Have a nice day.
