The site is just awesome, I like it on first sight , but the way it is now is just depressing. I wrote(translate, what is more tough to me) six damn chapters and except for the bots I had almost any comments, that is what I care the most on a starting work. And it wasn't just me, I looked around here network works just poor.
The way it is now , even if my histories was master pieces, what I know they aren't, It will be all wasted. You can earns money only if a whale stumble in you, just playing your luck you have more chance to stumble in a reader publishing in kindle direct and earn 5$ step by step. In my first month in amazon I sold more than 30 books, a lot of they are free samples, but was astonishing better then steemit. Here looks like no one reads me because i'm poor :D
The way is buying steem power to boost you curations, right? even the most of coments was bots you will earn some cash in a long run, but you can buy views in facebook and they are real views, not bots, so why steemit would be better investment? Because two year cashback if it do not work? :D In truth I earn view to my book for free in facebook , here the post is dead 12 hours later if it's not viral. IT is madness! And If you want just people review your stuff for free, there is wattpad. duh!
"Well if I want views and money I have to bring my fans from other social networks." HELL NO! If I had followers out there then there is no motive to be ignored here ou force they to come, it makes no sense. The motive to be here is new followers, new readers, for God sake! I will not bring people here to got depressed too.
YOU WHALES must start to feel very afraid of this bots, they are subtracting valor from the business you are greater partner. For us creator it doesn't matter, we can use this excelent site to blog, earn by selling a product, by ads, it doen't matter, if bots f**K your business tomorrow creators moves to another site, who will lose more? and if nothing was done it will be what will happen. Hate if you want, but I thing this fibonacci(it looks like) curve of payments must be revised too.
"Ignore the whales and do you job, they will come." No, they will not come, at least the way it is now. But I agreed on doing your job, althouth I say this:
If I had a tag that make my post invisible to everyone except to my followers I would doing it now, because Im very angry of give part of my work, or steem to this bots that are just ruining the comunity. Probably I will ask from now and ahead for comment only in twitter, because here there are only zombibots to comment.
Sorry for the bad english, But im really mad and I will not review this.
