Hi Guys,
I just uploaded a post I really put effort in and was looking forward of how people will like it or not. One minute after posting the link in the steemit channel #postpromotion someone whispered me and wanted to upvote the post IF I send him "6 steem only". Is this really what steemit has become in the last months after I published my first travel article? Poeple selling upvotes to vote up content - no matter how shitty the contenct is in terms of quality - And when there are peolpe who are selling it - there must be people who buy it, too.
This is actually the opposite of how I thought what steemit was acually about. For me it was about sharing a passion with other people. The ONE great thing about steemit is that you actually get what your content is worth - not some facebook who just makes his own profit out of YOUR stuff.
Now it seems to be a place for selling content to the one who is highest bidding. I really much doubt that without regulating this shit, steemit will ever be the competiter who it is capable of being.
Sad. Just sad.
