I, among others, haven't received rewards at the rate I was during the initial period of steemit. Nevermind. I am reading some posts of steemers in the same situation and I am kind of amused by the answers they receive. It seems that steemit curation is turned to some kind of gambling, where users speculate on the timing of the vote and the potential of any post to produce rewards, instead of upvoting posts that they consider important for others to read.
After the #introduceyourself frenzy, I guess this is just another stage of our steemit infancy. It also reminds me some experiments performed on chimpanzees. They were provided with food if they managed to decrypt an algorithm of actions in order to release it from a device that was holding it... They did very well and they received a banana or so each time.
Perhaps it may be good for a slogan.
Steemit... The chimpanzeeland!
PS. ...and yes I upvote my posts. I have a vote and I use it at my own cost, benefit and free will.
