With the new Promoted tab, Some people are happy. Others are complaining.
"The Rich will Get richer."
I keep hearing people say.

But is this such a bad thing?

When Browsing around, I noticed that ANYONE CAN promote any post. Not just your own. You can support anyone and any post you want.
If a dolphin or a whale sees your excellent post, they can promote it FOR YOU! In addition to giving you their upvote.

This will allow you to do EVEN BETTER with your posts. Also, you can promote your stuff.

Your SUCCESS In YOUR Hands!

You can promote your own stuff, Sure it may not blow up into something large, But you'll at the very least get more followers. This will help future posts; Your investment will help you do well for future posts.

Steemit is like a lottery, You can post high-quality content that is ignored, Sometimes your high-quality content is seen. Sometimes people don't even care about the topic you are talking about, and you have been ignored anyways. There are so many variables. It can be stressful when you work your butt off on a post that is just invisible.

With the post promotion, You can give yourself an edge on that. So it will be seen. If your post still doesn't do well, You can learn from it. Maybe you need a better title? better photos?

I personally don't like my stuff left to chance, So the opportunity to make things happen makes me happy.

Businesses Can Advertise!

Imagine if you were on Facebook, And instead of seeing those pesky ads on the site, You had a separate wall you could go to, With those ads.

Would you ever go to the wall of advertising?

Hell NO!
I would avoid that like the plague. Unless they offered me some coupons or something, They would have to do something for ME!!

So what happens if businesses take over the promoted wall?

PLEASE DO!
This advertising is perfect, The money spent on the promoted posts goes back into the system. (I don't understand all of the technical stuff)

But If Domino's Pizza wants to promote their new carry out pizza's for 7.99 on the promoted page, They will have to ADD MONEY to the pool. That WE can earn. In order to promote. I LOVE THIS!

That means Domino's pizza is putting money in OUR POCKETS!

Won't the advertising fail then? Because It's on a separate wall?

If it were Facebook, YES! But with Steemit, We are getting something out of their advertising. If big businesses don't get success from promoted posts, they won't promote on our platform anymore. And we'll have less money around as the result.

The principle of Reciprocity will come into effect.

• Domino's gave you money, Now how about pizza for dinner tonight?

Apparently, if you hate pizza, You won't buy a pizza. But if someone is promoting cute shoes, you might just have to buy those shoes, I mean That company GAVE the platform more money for you to earn. You can buy a pair of shoes from them right?

With Facebook, there is no Reciprocity Because the ads do nothing for you, With Steemit This is a beautiful form of advertising that will have A BIG IMPACT.

So Why You Complaining?

Steemit made some exciting changes yesterday, And we need to be HAPPY! I'm so excited about the future of Steemit. You just have to think of the long term benefits of each change that is made, And how it may or may not benefit you. Some changes may hurt your short-term game but are good for the longer term. While other changes may not affect you at all! And if you deeply hate that promoted tab, You can always ignore it! No law against. that.
