Hi Steemians
Someone nominated me for supporthonesty challenge so i decided to write something about it. To be honest my motivation to post on steemit is not as high as it used to be, and to save my steem power i only post every 2 days now, used to be everyday.
The reward system needs to change
I think the reward system needs to change, sometimes people write a good quality content and it takes them hours to create, and it gets a lot of views and upvotes compared to a short no quality content but the person knows a whale friend that decided to give him/her an upvote, and the quality content will be rewarded only pennies while the other one get few dollars.
But the whale also deserves to give upvote to whoever he/she likes as he/she has invested the money to buy Steempower or have earned the steempower.
So how do we reward quality contents from the people with low steem power while still giving incentives to people who invest to buy more steem?
People come for money instead of the contents
Many people come and do not read much of the contents posted , instead posting random comments sometimes not related to the post at all, hoping to be lucky and get some upvote from the content creator.
How do we get people to come on Steemit genuinely for the content instead of the reward, like on utube?
My last post about Emirates business class got me over $30, that was encouraging, although i am not here for the money, but i liked the recognition that someone appreciated my post . Well, the tickets cost me way more than $30 but it was still nice to see
