Recently there has been a lot of posts on reward pool abuse, etc. Its not a fault of one or two person, but its the fault of alot of really stupid to next to nothing posts getting way too much attention and upvotes. This is the reason alot who know how to abuse will do it, including paying resteeming bots,vote bots etc.
I have seen a lot of partiality also going on regarding whales supporting thier relatives/friends, etc. and programmers. Famous youtubers joining in and stealing alot of audience and also the top steemians supporting this. I know they are doing alot for steemit, but every steemian is different. People who made it at the very begining of steemit, are the only ones successful. I have seen posts with just a hot chick posing or just wishing a Happy New Year gets 100z to 1000z of $$ or a famou.
If you see the last 6 months trending page, Its either same person or similar type posts, and people upvote them without even seeing them for the curation rewards. I feel this will make alot of minnows loose their patrience and alot of people from joining it when there is dominance of this type.
Posts that trend all the time are:
- Programmers
- Crypto
- Steemit
- Meetups
- Chicks posing
- Some similar steemians
- Famous Alt. news Youtubers
There are alot of posts related to hobby, nature, life, art, pets, animals, religion, preachings, way of life, etc. that i never see or saw since iv joined, when these too should also get a fair chance.
Alot of them here click at the trending posts and write a few comments, only for money. Some use bots for upvoting, some get upvoted as they are friends with whales or are famous youtubers. Everyone is directly or indirectly raping the rewardpool using their power, just like the outside world.
We joined steemit for its fairness, but seems like whatever takes place on the outside world, same is happening here.
Remember, we all joined here for money, but at the same time for its fairness and wealth distribution. However thats not whats going on.
Here are a few simple ways we can change this:
- Remove the Trending/Hot/Promoted Pages
By removing them, one will only search for what they want and will only upvote what they have genuinely liked, instead of just upvoting for rewards. Every steemian regardless of the topic will get a fair chance and a similar audience.
- A bigger SEARCH bar and CATAGORIES only on the home page.
By doing this, one would only search or browse catagories what they are interested in. Im sure there are many who dont understand programming or crypto or not interested in Alternate news. Some might be passionate about their hobby be it from collecting stamps to keeping pets, etc. Some might be interested in farming or religions or history, etc. There are 1000z of different interests, but we just see 4-6 types trending all the time. This will restrict alot of them from becoming a member on steemit. I know alot would say that the community is growing, but frauds are too.
"Lets make steemit fair again"
