I will be brief and blunt in this article. I wrote this article due to the funny activities that have been going on here. This site was created for a single purpose which is a platform for creators but its currently being misused by few.
What is Steemit
Steemit is a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content according to the developers, meaning that Steemit is for content creators and artist. although, that doesn't stop others from using the service. In so doing they should be professional and reasonable.
Upvote:
Just like voting in an election or liking a video or comment on youtube/facebook that is exactly the best common way to explain upvote. But the question is? Shouldn't your upvote worth more?.. We all know that it's excruciating just to get 1 or 2 followers, as such we employ "resteemer" a term that is very common. Call them professional advertisers.. They promote your post by upvoting or resteeming your blog on their walls.
But wait, shouldn't each upvote worth more? One vote should worth more than a vote rather than just a statistic. When one engaged the service of resteemer, you might get up to 300 upvotes and that might worth less than 0.10. Apart from the followers, you might get, the upvote is totally useless. Every vote should worth more than a statistic.
Recommendation:
Dear Steemit, I really understand the concept implored but the only constant than in life changes. As such, judging by the fact that the site has grown and still growing, upvote should worth more than statistics and voting bots should be minimised to the barest minimum if not eliminated.
This site is the future of Social media and as such we shouldn't let few bad apples stunt the development. Original content creators should have a fair shot.. each upvote should worth a $. The number of votes you have daily should display on your profile and once it exhausted then you shouldn't even be able to vote. In conclusion, one upvote should be equal to $ because it shouldn't isn't implemented, most originalist will either abandon their profile or elope to the alternative.
In conclusion, let sanitise the site and reward content creators more.
