Fellow Steemit Community,
With the great power comes great responsibility
I'm relatively new here, but already need to express my opinion about animality that I noticed.
It hurts community, discourage people from joining and contributing, due to a hypocrisy and greed
How?
You start with no authority and try to build one with quality and originality. What follows up, is a bunch of encouraging comments from people with a lot of steem power and authority. That appeals, and gives you an impression you are doing something good for the community.
You discuss with people, they invite you to check their posts, you find many interesting things.
...until you can no longer vote or do anything because you spent everything on that people with reputation of 60
wait...wait..wait...
You post your work, get 10 or 20 comments of people saying how great it is, and one upvote. (the initial one from yourself)
You suddenly realise you give a ton of your creativity to community, and in return you attracted tons of money greed people who would earn more on their comments then you on your post.
Leaving you an example to conclude the real reason of comment.
I am encouraging you to use comments to report all the accounts you noticed that follow the same pattern:
- Leaving great comments
- Never upvoting
- Calling you to check on their posts
Steem Power and Authority should not be the tool for exploiting money. It should be the tool to distinguish and boost quality. With the great power comes great responsibility. Don't abuse the power.
Let's find and report such accounts, clean up a bit, so the real art could shine in all the colours, not only in green colour of dollars.
Let's think of blockchain as a legacy for our children, not the tool to pump and dump. We will be much happier.
Don't do this.
M.
