What many people attracts to Steemit is the fact, that you can earn some money for your contributions. I have to admit that I also saw that opportunity for me. As I have already posted on other social media platforms the very idea of blogging was not new to me and it only seemed to me ok to get some rewards for my effords. As you can see on this platform some people earn a lot of money with a single post. Steemit unfortunately allowes to abuse this platform so that always new bots and voting groups appear to get some pieces of the cake. Generally I think voting on articles etc is a good idea.
But what about voting on comments? As someone who posts a comment, yours will be one among of many others, which somehow all compete with each other. The same applies for the author of the article. He/she has to judge how much a comment is worth. I think that is confusing, distracting and takes away a lot of creative energy from the platform. With the possibility to earn by commenting, posts attract comments like a light attracts flies in the dark.
On the other hand you see great comments which are very elaborated and continue the post.
What do you think about this issue?
