Every Opinion Counts ...Dear Steemians..... To have a better understanding about Steemit , I went on to explore and took a deep dive into Steemit White Paper. Although, I am not able to complete the entire white paper, still few of the basic points in starting catch my eye and made me to think upon something. Exploration always leads to some important finding.
Let’s first start to know few basic things from the white paper: As we all know, Steemit is a decentralized platform, on Steem block chain. The White paper give a very simple definition on the first page.
Steem is a blockchain database that supports community building and social interaction with cryptocurrency rewards.
So, the basic purpose of Steemit that I understood from the above phrase is to build solid Community along the Steem blockchain. The community means a group of people, who are like minded and help in developing mutual understanding, through continuous social interaction over the social platform, called Steemit.
On flipping and moving on the other page, I came across another important point that was highlighted on the White paper, It says:
Steem is designed around a relatively simple concept: everyone’s meaningful contribution to the community should be recognised for the value it adds.
Contribution refers to sharing some meaningful content through posts or meaningful comments on post. Such comments are rewarded and incentivisised. That reward will come thought one vote one person, and the reward value depends upon the Steem Power that the Voting account held. The rewards or the incentive that you will get on the contribution.
Steemit is an open source platform, where people can get to build a community and share their thought or information. If we sum up the two above quoted basic points, then it further adds that every meaning full contribution will get rewarded through voting’s. These rewards will get accumulated and the creator will get benefited.
However, nowadays I feel, Steem is straying from the basic theory and started to be seen as a Money-making rather than Community Development platform. The people are more interested in chasing money than building a beautiful community.
The Steem Blockchain rewards scheme are swayed the people ideology towards another source of earning money.
Well, I am not saying just like that, If there is smoke there is fire I have certain observation that make me write the post and wanted to take some feedback.
Here are some of the points that I started to note lately:
- Use of Bid-Bots, even on no sense post. A single pic can get you 100$
- Upvoting own comments having high SP- just to get self reward. - Already write a post on it
- Nonsense posting on Dmania, and making it to the Trending page to get Dmania upvotes. to get rewards
- The number of Bid bots in the Steemit Bot tracker have increased from few to many numbers. - Total 91 Bit-bots are available
- Every new Steemit user, interested in building own Bots, to make more profits.
Well, I am not against earning more, Earning money is everyone motto. Who do not want to earn money?? In race of earning more and more, people more often cross many limits.
My concern, is why to forget the main motto for which the Steemit is developed.??
Steem/Steemit is not demanding platform, they only ask the user to make community of mutual understanding and like minded people, to grow and to share knowledge. Cant we stick to the basics and earn fair rewards? Can everything be turned into a money making hub???
In other context, If users get more interested in making money, then there are chances that the platform survive for long term. The rewards can also be earned by making Quality Contribution.which Steemit always strive for.
If we need to make Steem a familiar name and make it to moon, then must stick to the Roots.
Discliamer: These all are my personal Opinions. Looking and experiencing few stuffs, made me to write such post. I would welcome any open minded views on my post. May be I am wrong in my understanding. Please put your valuable views on comment section of the post.
