Hello Steemers! (Do we have a name yet?)
I'm new to this platform and the rewards system is what keeps me bugging. Being an AI person, first thing that popped on my mind is to create a bot to do the topic analysis and upvote all the post regarding steemit. It seemed pretty simple to create the personas of this community and give them what they wanted. But after reading policies of the platform I refrained myself from doing that.
Let get into some questions now. This platform has given me some existential questions.
Who is creating value here?
When I write something that is important for the steemers I get rewarded. Remember 'important' doesn't mean important on economics sense. What is value?
Aren't viewers already getting paid in terms of content?
From what I understand, my content itself holds value equivalent to a currency. Then why the viewers are getting 25% of creator have generated. Are we valuing viewers/users time to that much?
This and last, who the hell is paying me?
Steem is going to make create money and pay to it me on the fly? How Steem gets money? Is this how steem distributes new money generated to the population. If it is true then we have disrupted the value system and governments to its roots. I want answers or I'll remain restless. I can't even ignore this platform.
Please do help me out in the comment section.
Thank You
Thorium
