Why the Steemwhales are upvoting Crap instead of Your Masterpiece - And why you should be Happy About it
<html>
<h2><strong>So you spent six hours carefully writing and re-writing your deep analysis of something important. </strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>You scoured the internet for the most eye catching, royalty-free stock photos. Agonized over each word in the title. Meticulously analyzed and ordered your tags. You sent your pride and joy into the world and then refreshed manically for the next hour, responding diligently to each and every comment. You have done everything right and your post is Steemit perfection.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One day later, you have 48 votes, 11 comments and a $0.33 payout pending. &nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Your Steemit wage is $0.04/hr.</strong></h2>
<p>http://i66.tinypic.com/2qdak37.jpg&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yeah. That's a banana.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tired, irritated and fighting an inexplicable urge to start crying, you scroll through the trending posts with jealous eyes and growing anger. Anger bubbles into rage at the sheer injustice of it all. $1000 for a baked coconut shrimp recipe. $3000 for a picture of a mountain. $5000 for going hiking in Tahiti.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>$10,794.56 for "Hi, I'm Kyle" and 646 words writing about writing about Bitcoin.</strong></h2>
<p>http://i67.tinypic.com/2eqe82u.jpg&nbsp;</p>
<p>Who is upvoting this crap? You curse the Gods of social media and open vote list after vote list. The same names keep jumping out at you. @ned @dan @dantheman @berniesanders @smooth @kushed. &nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>It's like opening your school yearbook and seeing every page filled with pictures of the kids that stole your lunch money.</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>http://i68.tinypic.com/34ycxs8.jpg&nbsp;</p>
<p>That sucks.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Who are these clowns? And why are they using their Steemit super powers to bestow wealth and fame on breasts instead of brains?&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>I'm sure you're a nice person. Smart, articulate and full of amazing ideas about how to make the world a better place. </strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>But if you spent 10 hours writing an 18,000 word Steemit post you didn't spend 10 hours doing something fun and interesting. You are probably not the life of the party and your circle of friends is small and tight. Like a sphincter. &nbsp;</p>
<p>http://i67.tinypic.com/2rpw8i8.jpg</p>
<p>Yeah, that's you. I'm the water. Sorry.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Social media lives and dies with herd. If you're with the herd, you live. If you're not, you die.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The herd wears a bikini and goes hiking in the Tahitian jungle.</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The Steemwhales know this. They know this because they are smarter than you, which is why they are Steemwhales and you are not.&nbsp;</p>
<p>http://i65.tinypic.com/347zazr.jpg&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably a Steemwhale.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Out of the 30,000 people using Steemit right now, there are exactly 48 that are interested enough in an analysis to click your button and 480 people that are interested enough in bikinis to click her button. &nbsp;</p>
<p>See what I did there? The bikinis generate 10 times more engagement, probably have 10 times more friends than you do, probably spend 10 times more time on social media and will probably tell 100 times more people about Steemit. Truth.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The Steemwhales are doing you a favor.</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Your deep analysis of something important is not going to bring the herd stampeding to Steemit. Steemit needs bodies. Lots of them. Right now the universe it telling you that out of 30,000 people, 48 think you're cool enough to hang out with. That's like 0.16% and means the community values your contributions at about $0.04/hr.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you haven't caught on yet, let's wrap this up: the bikini's tell their friends who tell their friends who tell their friends and suddenly there's 300,000,000 people here. &nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Now you're cool enough to hang out with 480,000 articulate intellectuals that get all hot and bothered over your deep analysis of something important. Your wage is $400/hr. You're welcome.</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>http://i64.tinypic.com/zksu8k.jpg&nbsp;</p>
<p>You at $400/hr.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stop whining about what the Steemwhales are doing and focus on creating awesome content while being awesome to everyone else creating content. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the stats say more beholders like bikinis, hockey players, surfing, pot and packing lists. Realize that ultimately Steemit will recognize and reward brains and breasts alike, but right now it needs to scale as rapidly as possible to survive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>No go write something that makes you smile!&nbsp;</p>

I don't think that explains it. A lot of it is just a basic discoverability problem. Any given post is a raindrop in the ocean, if the thumbnail and title don't effectively grab attention, nobody will see your post.

This will cause a race to the bottom, I think. Maybe literally; pretty soon thumbnails will be predominantly attactive body parts, with as much on display as the Steemit rules allow. 

Then again, that probably sounds pretty good to some people.

Take reddit. Remove the subreddits. Now add 30,000 redditors. You have Steemit.

Take Steemit. Add substeemits. Now add 234,000,000 Steemians. You have what you are looking for.

It's not that a drop of water in the ocean is hard to find. You just have to have enough eyes looking for your particular drop of water.

Why couldn't you have used the needle in the haystack? This would have ended so much better.

Loved your article, so far the best one I read! Hahah, I think people focus too much on what everyone else is doing, instead of doing something that they could be good at! I am extremely excited to share my stuff with everyone, I won't be wearing a bikini... well for now anyway :P haha! Alla x

Thanks for your comment - sorry I took so long to get back to you! Didn't realize you could still comment this far after payout. You hit the nail on the head, just had a funny conversation about the Steemit 20 - people write their first 20 posts about what they think everyone else wants them to write, and don't get any recognition for it. Then they get frustrated, say screw it, and write what they want to write about. Boom! Upvotes everywhere!  Checked your blog and your food looks amazing! As for the bikini, well... ;)

So true. And yes, you can get angry about it or join the crowd–that's the choice we all have to make. So, find something that you can be passionate about that the masses are also passionate about if you want to ride that wave.

https://steemit.com/curation/@steemed/im-a-steem-whale-looking-for-writers

Don't pretend this is a pure meritocracy. It's absolutely not. The "most successful writers" on this site--you know, the ones that write a lot about how to be successful writers--are guaranteed to make boatloads of money on every post they make... before anybody even reads it.

Apologia is a good racket as well...

I've read your post six times and I still can't figure out if you're saying what I'm saying or I'm saying what you're saying or none of the above.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@rok-sivante/the-five-winning-ingredients-for-a-highly-rewarded-steemit-post-what-makes-a-story-successful

Take these two currently trending posts, for example... They're both from well paid authors. Both authors are claiming to have some unique knowledge to bestow. Both imply that their knowledge is the difference between earning pennies and earning thousands.

Both are followed by megawhale voting bots that guarantee any post they make is going to hit $1k...

Yep, exactly like every other crypto out there... except unlike every other crypto out there 97% of STEEM is currently locked up in Steem Power and can only trickle out to the markets. No whale dumps are possible cause the sphincter is too small. Whale sphincter. I said it.

You are right in the limit of steem power to steem conversion, they can not dump beyond 1% weekly but, what about the people earning thousands of Steem dollars, they can convert to steem instantly and dump massively at market, what do you think about it?

>The herd wears a bikini and goes hiking in the Tahitian jungle. 

More to the point, the herd wants to see someone in a bikini hiking in a jungle - not a guarantee that any of said herd would ever leave their desks to do that themselves.
I think you're right, that those of us who aren't possessors of Vast Social Networks and relentless marketing skills (targeted content, promotion of said content) (and good looks don't hurt) aren't going to make a living here.  
I'm not hot, I don't smoke weed, and my capacity for writing about stuff with  limitless hyperbolic enthusiasm is, um, limited.
At this point, I think I'm going to "park and ride." I have Steem and I have Steem Power and I'm watching the value rise. Great! You guys go for it! I'll sit and profit.
But... No, I'm not going to spend 18 hours creating content for $0.00. As you say, you could almost start extracting a psychological profile of the whales by this point, and I'm sure that savvy marketers are coming in and doing just that.

Good comment, thank you! I think I'm right too, but I'm slightly more optimistic about the long game.

In the meantime, what if you could spend 18 hours curating content for $400? I think there's a place for everybody here, and curating is probably the thing that will make or break Steemit. So go forth and vote!

Great post, read it before it was cool and upvoted too. Not that it wasn't cool when I read it, it's just more cool now that more people think you're cool. I also like that I had a twist at the end that was also a #genius slap, which I didn't know was a thing but now like very much. Thank you!

I totally agree! Been making some good content articles and the most I've ever had payed out was 0.04 cents. It's all good though NOT going to stop me from doing what I love and that's sharing valuable content with my fellow #Steemers!

Dude, my intro post made $0.06 and the other 10 or 11 have netted a grand total of.... $15.61.

So I'm very much in the $0.04/hr club.

I've read so many words and understood that author is a whale while i'm not. Maybe there is some another information, I haven't found it.

I think we need a whale measuring stick around here. I keep getting all worked up about being called a whale, then I upvote someone and they get like five cents. I feel like a minnow. But people call me a whale. It's an existential crisis that is tearing me apart. I'm not an ether fan but I gave you an upvote because you can put GIFs in your posts and I can't.

I'd agree for the most part, although not entirely,  cause we need new content and fresh faces . When though I browing photography, there are some beautiful self shot works in there. And yet we get shit like masteryoda just reposting real photographers work and walking away with 3k. A photo of an out of focus grainy flower, another 3k. It just hurts my head.

I'm to the point now that I'm more convinced it's just a circle jerk of whales, and while art is subjective, if we're being honest, there are lots of shit posts earning way more than it would in comparison to the works of some really great artists here.

So I'll have to disagree, if anything these whales, at least in photography are discouraging real artist from sharing their own content.

Whales upvote what they want to upvote we cant really control that and they have a right to. Hopefully the wealth will spread and it will move out to various different types of people with different interests and then we will see the completeness of content curation everyone is looking for. Anyway good post john !

this is one of the worst post I've ever read. It's full of  demotivational content, it's written arrogantly and useless for improve Steem and the community

> $1000 for a baked coconut shrimp recipe. $3000 for a picture of a mountain. $5000 for going hiking in Tahiti.

$8k+ for this post
> Yeah, that's you. I'm the water. Sorry.

Seriously? I read on the internet it was 25k and climbing. So I rounded because I like three better than two.

But 8k? Wow. If that's right this is a pretty small club.

And I agree the pre-mine really did a number on the wealth distribution.

But I'm also a Bitshares vet and very happy under the rule of a benevolent dictator. Cause decentralization is a shitty way to get somewhere. Nice when you arrive, but try deciding left or right with 500 of your closest shareholders and then tell me decentralization is good. So I'm ok with the wealth distribution. For now.

OKAY. 
I do not care how many people are online now. Their number will grow.

They call it a social network. In the social network - must be a social element!
Yes, they direct STEEMIT development in the right vector for them.

But keep in mind that new users do not have voting powers. It is necessary to collect hundreds of thousands to earn a little money.

Let's be honest. In STEEMIT yet no tool that would allow us to notice the little-known authors! And this is the problem!
People who put soul in their posts- gets $ 1. And random posts​ gain 10,000?

THAT's WHY We need RANDOM tab instead PAYOUT TIME tab in our MENU!

Thank you! And a well done post by you as well, upvoted. Though I disagree. 

Comparison is what made me say fuck this, I'm going to write an awesome post and curate the shit out of it and make it to No. 1 and blaze a goddamn highway for other awesome people to follow. Comparison made me happy. And tired. And my brachioradialis twitch.

I tried by using glass, weed culture, and a give away! I love pipes, I love weed, and I love free stuff. Perhaps steemit will to? I also need some suggestions to verify myself and Im giving a free pipe away with one who helps.

There were (and maybe still are) major exploits, it is also possible not everything is as fair as you imagine, and people are not really voting 35,000 USD for some Fiverr girls putting on a T-shirt. I did report one exploit where the same Facebook account could register rewards over and over on the same hash, as long as the STEEM account creation was clicked in at the same time. I did not test it, but I was  informed by some hacker using it in the early days, as he thought I might use it myself and that I would appreciate exploiting Steemit. Instead, I contacted Steem, and got a thanks for it. This was a long time ago so I am sure they fixed it by now, assuming the hacker was telling the truth. He certainly was in one hell of a fucking good mood, it appeared real.

I think you just told us a story and it involved hacking. I don't know if that warrants an upvote, but I'll err on the side of yes.

Well that makes me feel better. Do you know what microsleeping is? I do now. And it comes from effort. Effort sucks. But it takes you places. 

You look like Prince Harry. So I upvoted you. But hot tubbing with a dog is disgusting. No other way to say it, sorry. Hot tubbing with beer is awesome, though. But not awesome enough to cancel the dog. Oh no.

I totally forgot what this post was about. Reading the comments with your replies was more fun. While reading the passionate comment of @williambanks I was totally with him. But, your sensible replies on his and many others' comments makes me think you are right too. That in turn makes me wonder what am I doing here. 

I feel like I have wasted a lot of time. I don't even feel sure about my writing now after so many duds. 

But, somewhere in those hundreds of comments I also saw a chance for the system to correct itself. For everything to fall in place. For a pattern to emerge which may lead forward.

I am keeping myself optimistic. Hope is the only hope. Thanks for sharing the post. It has a tag of being motivational. Not sure about the post but the comments were true to the tag.

Post was the bait. Willy was the hook. Comments are the meal. Sneaky, yes?

You haven't wasted a second. Because you are questioning yourself. You want to know what happiness is? Answering those questions. You want to know what unhappiness is? Never asking them.

Read your latest post, it's excellent and I upvoted. Aristotle is fun. Eudaimonia for the win!

Thank you so much for your appreciation. Actually that post was a bit similar to what I have on Quora. I was very active on Quora a year ago. Got close to 200 followers. Stopped. I thought if I get a bit of success here then I will spread the word about this on Quora. There is hardly anyone talking about steemit there. 

I am still optimistic about my brand of content working on steemit. Who knows I may be another Slumdog Millionaire from Mumbai whose story will be written by steemit community. It is good to dream and I do dream.

Thank you so much for your effort on this platform. I never suggested you to read my post. Still you did. That is one great thing about good people here. God bless you.

If this is how you want to grow Steemit, why not just post porn and upvote it? Pron = bikini and is probably more popular. --Now you're cool enough to hang out with 480,000 articulate intellectuals -- People into bikini's are intellectuals? Wow, you lost me.

Amazing post!
I feel better now considering what you have stated here. 
Sorry but I didn't read the entire post because I get tired reading long postings.
I guess like in real life people appreciate more boring things than dynamic and creative things.
It could be that most of the people hold boring jobs and start to appreciate more boring things and spend hours on reading long posting.
I was surprised to see that my posting along with three of my  nice videos (at least I guess so) could get only $2.08. Amazing!
I think I will have to write a long post next time but that's not me.
Have a good time.

Did you just call me boring? My minnow power has been added to your stack!

In time the audience will grow large enough that statistically you will have groupies. You know what happens when some monkeys type on typewriters? Not much. You know what happens when an infinite number of monkeys type on typewriters for all eternity? Shakespeare.

In hindsight this is not even relevant. But I spent too much time typing it to delete it.

As long as the new whales don't vote the same way...   It'd suck if this what steemit basically turned into:

The first wave of new whales will be a bunch of crypto-wealthy that buy their way in via STEEM. I suspect we will see corporations doing the same in the near future. Make no mistake, this is going to be an epic battleground in a few months, little guys versus big guys all over again.

Big corp buys up a ton of Steem. Creates a few accounts. Posts advertisements. Upvotes them. Community minnow police try to downvote. But they get downvoted to oblivion by Big Corp's hit squad. Now what?

It could happen.  I am no prophet.   No clue what to do it until I see the lay of the land at or near the time it happens.   If this is going to happen we'll see signs of it before it reaches any kind of critical mass I'd suspect.

Well, they did find their way here before the other bodies. And they are pumping out content. And the community is valuing their contributions. Perhaps what we need is more categories so that the bodies can exercise their right to freedom of association. The melting pot thing is great and all, but people like their sphincters.

Similar to SP, SMD tokens cannot be purchased directly on an external exchange. SMD are primarily earned through contributing but can be purchased by converting STEEM tokens to SMD tokens.

Actually Steem Dollars can now purchased on external exchanges !

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-SBD

PS Abbreviation of SBD = Steem Backed Dollars
or just SD = Steem Dollars (not SMD please edit)

The voting system is definitely out of whack.  Quality should be rewarded and the way the system has been setup, quality is determined by a small minority of users.

The worst thing about steemit right now is that many of the top earning posts I've seen are about people posting about how much money they've made on steemit!  How is that a valuable post?  Why would people go to steemit instead of reddit when these are the types of posts plastered on steemit's main page?

I could be wrong but if the shitty quality posts continue to be promoted on steemit then within a couple of months, most people will stop posting here.

Whales upvote the lottery winners because the want them gushing from the rooftops about how amazing Steemit is and how it has changed their lives and made their dreams come true and all they had to do to make thousands of dollars was tell the world what neat person they are. You see where this is going? Who wouldn't want to get paid for being neat? It doesn't matter at all if the content on the main page is crap, there's a lot of dollar signs. People want those dollar signs. Badly. And they *know* they can write a better post than make-up man.

@knozaki2015 ·
I do not agree about your concern.

It will take some time, but every other day a new dolphin is born. 
so these guys will vote wisely, as they know how hard it is to score a good vote from a whale or dolphin.

In the end, i am sure the system will adjust. i received a vote from dan for my post , it jumped to 5500USD, but he was only the catalyst( https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/steemit-has-insane-numbers-check-this-out ) for a post, i put in everything i learned through different tutorials. 

after that i put together this post, so others can have a Goldpost too:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/if-you-want-to-be-sucessful-on-steemit-you-have-to-read-this

Once people start to understand how, when and what to post, these tutorial post will fade away, and quality content you are looking for will be created.

Its too early and not enough users yet, imagine what will happen once user numbers double , 3x, 4x, 10x! 
You cant read everything, as the content will flow in like crazy!

Yes, it's all about numbers. The steemwhales are jumpstarting an entire economy with their voting power, but it will dilute over time as more and more people find their way here. I can't wait to see the first $100k post with 10,000 votes.

Just gave you some upvote love. Awesome photos, you've got some serious talent but the audience here is still too thin to appreciate your work with the vote volume it deserves. Keep doing what you're doing, curate and connect. It will come. Or it won't. So make sure you at least enjoy the ride.

Not really fair dismissing some articles as crap - one man's junk is another man's treasure.  Now if only I looked good in a bikini in the jungle.....

Let me comment with some crap and get a lot of upvotes so I can skip my #introduceyourself post and make a big load of Steem Dollars. What about a picture of a weird man with a watermelon helmet I just found on google

http://all-funny.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/some-weird-stuff.jpg

And maybe this is the way to do it! Be weird and funny. Since this is the first image when you search "weird pictures", a lot of Steemians would like it.

Let's congratulate me!

This is spam. But I upvoted you because you taught me that a hijab pashmina is rectangular instead of square. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that, but it feels like a good thing to know.

Even though it will be unbalanced with users and genres in the beginning, you have to think of the positives about it. What you write here will be here forever, and the payout can be flowing. You can vote for posts that are 3 months old and the creator will receive a reward for it. It's like youtube ad plays revenue, its ongoing, integreted through google search and in the future hopefully its own search so the more people join, the bigger chances of them stumbling on your old posts too.

Always think of the bright sides of a platform and its future prosperity.

You know how the VHS got started? Porn. How about DVD? Porn. Oh, this internet thing? Porn.

Porn is good for business. Except the stuff with animals. Not good for business.

All of those added some new element to the platform  of porn.  This isn't some fundamental new way of getting porn content.

This post holds so much truth. Sadly it makes me happy and want to cry at the same time!

Why?

Cause I don't look good in a bikini, and I am new, so my votes give 0 benefit to anybody. 

Life can be so cruel!! Why, oh why!

/queue over dramatic death scene music

/dead

Still upvoted though, sorry for the $0, it's not my fault.

It's awesome when the truth connects with a community. But you know what? I don't look good in a bikini either. In fact, I'd probably be arrested. I'm also new. My votes give 10 cents of benefit. Which I gave to you. 

It's not about your "0$ vote" it's about your vote, period. You're here. We connected. Maybe teared up a bit. Learned something. Listened to some sad music. Died. Were reborn. All in the comment section! Wow!

You comments and your vote are valued and appreciated. Thank you!

What's with the kettle?

Ha, I'm in hyper Steem mode. Can't stop. All day. All night. It's freaking insane. There's going to be a medical condition. Counselling. Repetitive stress injuries. An entire industry to rehabilitate burnt out Steem addicts. It's awesome.

And I'm not a whale until my clicks are $100 and I'm rainin' benjamins. ;)

I was beginning to notice the same, a couple of days ago.

[Here's something](https://steemit.com/money/@karnal/take-a-step-back) I wrote about this phenomenon.

In my understanding (been meditating with varying levels and commitment of intensity for years) this is a trap. If something is robbing us of our attention/awareness and making us act compulsively, we should *take a step back* and re-evaluate where we stand.

More details in the linked post.. let me know what you think of it!

the world aint fair and it fucking pisses me off to no end. I dont have a chance on here. I dont have boobs. I guess I will prostitute my fine ass girlfriend, but if THAT does not work. I. Wiull. BE. BEYOND. PISSED. And I will come after this site with a vengeance. Im talking a list of 30,000  minnows who upvote my posts. Because in the free market, where I can get 7Âą bitcoin ads, i can sandbag the buildignj of a list for quite some time. Fuck all this bull shit - being smart is a fucking curse - idiots are happier and wealthier. TESLA was forgotten by history.

Nope, world is not fair . Nope, you don't have boobs. I will upvote your fine ass girlfriend. Ignorance is generally bliss. Assholes are generally wealthier and happier, some of which are idiots but most of whom are just intelligent enough to eat your lunch. Telsa was the shit. And kind of an asshole. But not wealthy. I've enjoyed our conversation.

I agree.  All the posts say create good content. What it should say in plain English is if you are already famous come get some more money because we wanna be super cool asshats clinging to your dingleberries.  O and If you want some wallet be a bulletin board for steemit.  That makes sense and keeps it real.

haha - best story ever posted here. You are so right in that case... 

The only problem what we got now is that massive "tag-spamming" as masses come. When the whales are now working like they vote (lol) this plattform is earlier dead than it started. This got a real pain here on steemit last days - I wrote an article over it (maybe we can hear your statement too on it as "dolphine"):

I think it's more wait-it-out-until-more-people-like-you-show-up-to-upvote-you. Because they think what you think.

Can explain what Augur is in three sentences or less? I keep seeing it pop up and it annoys me that I can't ignore it from a position of knowledge.

I didn't focus on the title until now. "steemwhales are upvoting crap".  That's a little strong.  I don't think all steemwhales are guilty of this. :(

One whale went out to play
On a spider's web one day
She had such enormous fun
that she called for another elwhake to come. (whale noise)
(continue with 2,3,4)
Four whale  went out to play... then say...
But you can't have more than whale elephants
playing on a spider's web, so that's all!

:D

I'm an awful singer. Really, truly, terribly awful. 
But I think that would sound nice if Johny Cash sung it.

Willy and me having a heart-to-heart is the sort of engagement that is needed to make Steemit thrive. That's why the whales paid him. But you're right, he kinda came off as a little bit of a dick. Some name calling. Defamation. But we made it through with a few new chest hairs, so it's all good.

And you're welcome. And thank you!

GBU, this is my last post: https://steemit.com/family/@jacksongarcia/coffee-passion-vs-reality can you recommend me something about it?

Me encanta que te gusta mi blog y que el amor dio a luz nuevas ideas para los nuevos mensajes. De nada mucho! No pongo en cualquier momento en particular. De hecho, he estado publicando en todo momento. No sé si haya hecho una diferencia, pero si usted pone en todo momento su obligado a coger un buen momento. Su mensaje fue excelente y disfruté las fotos. ¥Gracias y buena suerte!

Except what you're saying isn't what's happening.  It's mostly STEEM related articles getting upvoted, like yours.  Not hiking in the jungle in a bikini...

Details, details. No one is whining about about the good stuff that is getting upvoted. We are human and want to focus on the unfairness of it all so we feel good about eating ice cream in our pajamas and watching Netflix instead of spending 18 hours writing and curating a blog post.

I try to refrain from using this type of language (at least on public platforms) but this post is fucking brilliant. I don't know if you constructed it with the intent on it's outcome but if you did you absolutely succeeded.

I don't say it's brilliant for it's message nor the opposite of it's message. Both sides of this coin will inevitably be what brings the masses. Anyone who doesn't see that will see it in the future and I think that's the point of this post.

On the one side you have those who CLEARLY see the evidence for the argument being posed.
On the other side there are those who take issue and even resort to shaming tactics (which only work on weak minds btw) but damn-it! This post was nothing short of genius.

Thanks to you and thanks to us! I like tomatoes too. But only on pizza. Sliced, not diced. And not cooked with the pizza, has to be fresh on top. With a little salt and pepper. Good God I need a pizza.

Very well said, thought it's not really going to help me gain more votes especially when I already did what you suggested. LOL! I wish there was a "Random" link that could help users who don't have anything else to read stumble upon, well, random articles. That'll be a nice addition. Meanwhile, I'll just continue lurking with my 1 reader (thanks whoever you are!)

Anybody know why this post was downvoted/flagged like 20 times in the last few hours? Not a single comment. Such disappoint. Let's talk about it. Really. I'm a good listener.

I don't find this useful at all, but I'm not downvoting.

Anyways, please I don't know if you already have this information, please try to inform others, thanks.

It would be great to be able to capture the attention of a bunch of "minnows" without requiring the attention of a whale or two first!   Some posts are for the minnows, but without whale support they just might not see it.

I think that will come when Steemit gets categories or something like subreddits. The individual minnows can't form schools of minnows. Once minnows can go to their favorite schools visibility will skyrocket and reward distribution will flatten out.

You code of conduct is very good, and I upvoted. But you know what you're missing? Content.... curating... and .... I'll leave it with you.

That's a good point.  Categories will help people find what they're looking for.  But will it make it that much harder for them to find something that they weren't looking for but would be glad they found?  

Content, curating... am i missing Cats?

> The Steemwhales know this. They know this because they are smarter than you, which is why they are Steemwhales and you are not. 

@dan is a whale because he is the creator of Steem software. He's a great programmer and a blockchain architect, but I don't think he's a social media growth guru.

If you look at other whales, many of them are just miners (mining doesn't make one a social media guru, FYI), or just bought Steem with BitShares.

So I think your post is an unnecessary rationalization.

Things are probably much simpler in reality: Steemwhales upvote pretty much the same stuff normal people would have upvoted (because they are people, not marine mammals), so it works more-or-less well.

Dan is smarter than me. Much, much smarter. There is no universe in which I could create things like Bitshares or Steemit. Not going to happen. The miners are also much smarter than me. Set up a miner? Yeah, also not going to happen. So they are all rich and I'm not because they are smarter than me. I'm can cope because I'm probably better looking. If I squint.

If you read Dan's work on social justice and non-violence you might be surprised at just how astute he is when it comes to how society ticks. I think the entire architecture of Steemit is absolute social media genius. 

Now all that said, the majority of whales are *dudes* that are *computer programmers* that just made a *shitload of money* and are now *Gods* of the newest and *hottest social media platform* and everyone wants to be their *best friend*. So you're right, so very, very right.

John you have a black outlook of the culture what is happening and you are not necessary wrong. What I like of you post is that you point out the shadow side which we need to acknowledge to mature. It maybe that the site get dominated by young, wife females in bikini's, but it is not to say that it will be the case in the future. Your contribution help to grow the maturity of the communities culture - thanks.

I have met many people, most people are great. Raising families, cooking rice, saving for retirement. Typical human stuff.  I don't know where that was going.

Anyways, thank you for your comment. Steemit is a stewpot. We all want tasty, delicious stew. But it's not going to be tasty, delicious stew. Every bite is going to be different. Some bites are going to taste like your ex-girlfriends stew. Some bites will taste like your mom's stew. If you're not ready to accept ex-girlfriend stew you might think that stew sucks and not stew at all. And that would be a shame because stew is good for you. 

I still don't know where I was going with the first sentence, and that bothers me.

You're putting out some solid content, upvoted and following! Hit up steemed and stellabelle with links to  your posts, one or both will probably pick you up. Until Steemit gets a lot more whales making any kind of money here is about connecting. Lots of good content but it has to be seen by the right eyes...

That was an entertaining read, and spot on! I will totally follow your stuff from now on :) There's yet too much envy around and the focus on personal profit is still predominant. However through time I'm sure that more and more people realize what a privilege it is to be part of such a beautiful, paradigm-shattering thing. I know we'll get there ;) Again, well written and thanks a lot for sharing

Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for taking the time to read! Oh, the envy and greed and scheming has not even started yet. I am enjoying the grace period of innocence and camaraderie, it's like a young child. Wait six months for puberty to hit...

case in point. @edgeland intro post "dont follow me im lost" is  top of the trending page. Its an intro page about her being a math major  etc etc and stuff and things. Well, the tag is under anarchism. So that should tell you something, not because of a conspiracy but for the simple fact that the tag doeant even fit the post at all. And in the post she describes skyping with whale from steemit... hmm, seems pretty fishy.

I'll just leave this here:

http://i63.tinypic.com/2du00he.jpg

Yeah. That's the front page. No.1 on the front page. Trending.

Not a single goddamn headshot or intro post on the leaderboard. All quality content that someone put some effort into.

Think you don't matter? Think your minnow power is worthless?

You matter. Your votes matter. Your voice matters. Now you understand the power of Steemit. Congratulations to each and every one of you that read, voted or commented.

*"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -  Margaret Mead*

I'm getting all weepy and throwing down quotes from dead people. Let's upvote this to the top so we can all give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Agree completely. The new four-post rule has made a huge difference to the quality vs. quantity battle, and based on the trending posts I'm going to say things are swinging in favor of quality.

I complete agree that "bikini" post gets more attention that some science one. But disagree that "bikini" author got more social visibility and virtual friends, in many cases this is not true. =) We sure need to find ways to give better visibility to quality posts, but how to do so - this is big question.

Hot girls... ahem, young attractive females have ginormous, humongous, ridiculously large and complex social networks that span continents, time and space. And eyes on them wherever they go. Or at least that's my experience, but point taken. I think the steemwhales have done their homework and found that the vast majority of heavy social media users are people that do fun/interesting/fluffy things with their days and they are the low hanging fruit on the adoption tree. The more serious content creators are more effort to attract but I'm sure they're on the roadmap.

damn.  
Though I have to admit the steemwhales can all learn a bit from the community as the community can learn from them, you do have some damn good points.  At least I can say that although I do little things like "fuzzbombs" where I upvote lists of people who are participating in conversation, I definitely upvote a cute girl doing makeup and other things for precisely the reason you say---they get eyeballs which means they bring eyeballs here.  And yep, that does mean everyone who thinks they are getting the short end of the stick actually does benefit from the people she brings.  

However I will take it one step further and say that we need to help people realize that all the people in their networks (irl or on the inet) have great value and if they all join because of you and upvote your content (that you wouldn't get paid for *at all* by other social media btw), you all will get paid.  

At first it is not much, but one thing I will assure you is that in the 2+ years that most steemwhales have spent (not even talking about out of pocket expenses) making the tech available, each person who joins steemit today could at the very least become a formidable great white (not to mention an army of great whites by their sides).  

The power is in your  network as much as it is in your content.  Steemit actually enables you to *empower yourself* by empowering others who trust and value you.  Name another social network that can do that!

@johnsmith, you will likely do very well here and I don't say that because some might think you are ass kissing.  I am saying it because you seem intent on stubbornly producing good content.  (By which I mean I laughed a good bit and ended up realizing that one point you made was salient--keep trying and as more users come we will build more strength together).

I cannot speak for all whales, because I am kind of a baby whale I suppose, but I will say that I am very interested at this stage in helping upvote projects that help steem.  So if anyone who is upset thinks they have solutions lets talk!  If not--go back to facebook people, where you will never get paid anything but will be censored and seen as a useless idiot for Zuck to suck on.

There are so many great people from Bitshares here! For those not in the know, Fuzzy is a legendary contributor to the Bitshares project that helped develop the tech we are all enjoying right now. Respect. Thank you for your kind words. It is an honor!

And then there's "Zuck to suck". I don't know what to do with that.

lol thanks @johnsmith.  I am indeed a bit crazy in my interest in the idealism (and brilliance) behind bitshares.  This is actually the main reason I stuck with BitShares--because the founding fathers would cry if they saw a blockchain with actual separations of power built in.  

That is why I stubbornly hold on.  I'm so glad for steem and steemit though man.  It is going to be great to watch this new graphene chain show the world what the tech we all sacrificed so much for can do ;)

Good Goddess! This post, the commentary, some of which I upvoted, and my aversion to writing posts strategically, is making me head straight for the tequila bottle. Don't get me wrong, I love good discussion and debate, but... To me, Steemit is a revolution. I love revolutions! It's brilliance and it's social reform. I hate the idea that we have to succumb to old world thinking to make it here as writers and supporters of block-chain and crypto-currency. Yuck. But perhaps I'm naive. I read a great article about the foolproof formula for a great post on Steemit. It didn't mention weed or bikini's though, and I'm fresh out of those at the moment. Maybe I'll go get some.

Social reform is hard. The old world is entrenched. Foolproof isn't.

I fully support your initiative to get both bikinis and weed. I don't see how that can be anything but good for everyone.

So if i understand correctly those few with power on here over content (whales) are no different to the mainstream media?  They have all the power and influence what we see and read?  How is this fair or even different?  Have i got this wrong?

I have ranted and given in to my kind of anger about this all. I know its true, we need to catch the bigger ones here, to make a name, to make it all start but fact stays that for the smaller fishes around here it can be very hard to keep you head up and smile while you work your ass off ( And I do have a nice ass, maybe I should wear a bikini ? Hmmmm who knows, anyways I am drifting off)) and no one sees your work.

I think the biggest issue is too few whales. Whales are human and only have so many hours to curate, and are only interested in so many topics. As the platform matures there will be more whales with more interests. Until that happens the best thing to do is connect via commenting and voting with as many Steemians as you can - they will be the future whales and people have long memories. You might not be able to put money in their pockets, but a kind word means more to most people than a few pennies.

Yes, at first I did not see that. This platform needs more whales and to get them they need to bring in the already famous posters to get more attention. I know I have to be patience ( Not my strongest point)  and just sit out the ride before I make a name of my own. BUT.... I am getting there!

Lol awesome writing and fact thats happend on steemit,  i see a lot of female blogger earn a lot of money compared with male blogger, i do not know why ?
I also do not know why steem whales voting crap content, maybe its because they want us to know thats making money in steem is easy, we does not need to have high intelegent and smart brain, just post original and easy to read blog, as we can see on other social media like facebook etc they does not post a really complicated topic but those social media itself become more popular and people having fun.

I LOVE THIS POST! This one of the best responses i have read in a while!  Thank you  , thank you! As i said before  , in another comment..it's all about how you decide to feel after your post either makes it to trending or dies. If you decide to rage and rant and whine , you get posts like this one, above, that puts to shame all your whining.

The money is nice but the it's the point that is important. Check the front page. What do you see? I see change. Quality content and not a packing list to be seen.

It's sad to see that a lot of good posts that i found here on Steemit received so low attention. Even that I'm new here I formed my opinion already. We all know that life is not always fair but we got used to it. But it makes me angry now cause i'm tired of seen some real bull***t that happens in all social networks today. We see less good content or articles but we see a lot of nudity and stupidity mostly from young girls. The trend for them today is not work hard to deserve a good life but instead they think (and they mostly believe!!!!) that their asses and tits and cute faces are enough to get very well payed. Usually those persons are dumb as hell cause i meet and know a lot of them and their numbers grow everyday. That's terrible. Just go to YouTube, Instagramm, Twitter, Facebook, VK, Twitch to see the top pages. It's getting ridiculous. And why this happens all the time? Cause we - men - allow it and the bigger part of us are dumb fappers who like to watch naked bodies everywhere instead of good, useful, interesting content. If you wanna "jerk off" - go to porn sites and don't flood such interesting projects with this crap. I apologize if i was rude a little in my comment but I got tired of such human stupidity. Steemit deserves a huge well formed community which will bring us interesting and usefull content and it's in our hands to flag and erase such stupid spam topics with naked pics etc. Just do it. That's all i have to say. Thx and sorry if it did hurt someone.

P.S. I'll just leave it here for our friends

Well now let's not be hasty. Judging Steemit right now is like deciding you're never going to be friends with a three year old. Ever hang out with three year olds? They're assholes. But they make nice adults, and you'd probably want to be their friend.

You are not alone. But it's weird that she is. Women like that are never alone. Is this a test?

She's loves sponsors) I mean i'm not judging Steemit. I'm against such posts that i mentioned above. It's not a place for booth babes  to earn money, flood topics etc. 
When a three year old will be atleast 23 from now, i'll be old for them already XD

You're welcome! You are the top of the bell curve. Does everyone still smoke in Germany? Awesome country, but the smoking. Everywhere the smoking.

Thanks, not sure how I should feel about being at the top of the bell curve.... There is a federal non-smoking act in place since 2005 or so that prohibits smoking in federal institutions, public transport and in most pubs and restaurants. So one rarely gets bothered by cigarette smoke these days in Germany.

Accounts have just been capped. Bringing the herd is not the goal. Controlling the number of possible payouts vs money available is. It's pure genius. I was saying to myself the other day that this is only going to work until the value of total minnow accounts outweigh the value of money available to pay them AND pay the dolphins and whales too. Those pennies add up. So how do you control this...by controlling the number of accounts that are created according the how much money is available for payout. I'm impressed. Now the system is complete. I know more than this too...but I'm to lazy to explain it all and I need the machine to keep turning. Good job Ned...you did it.

Interesting! Almost like a clever ploy designed soley to maximize benefit to its members. Or maybe a technical glitch. Let's give the boys in the backroom a few days and see what they say. Being a victim of one's own success is often a big surprise and usually not as much fun as you thought it was going to be. It's a lot more work than you thought it would be. Ask me how I know.

So true, hence why I'm blogging guitar lessons and vids down instead of writing about the cliche. I'm now the first person to start doing guitar lessons on Steem. Win!

I upvoted the shit out of your lessons. Because they are awesome. But mostly because shredlord is even more awesome than the awesome lessons. I've tried to learn acoustic no less than a dozen times in my life. Guitar sitting beside me right now, like a monument to my inability to finish something. At one point, I actually cut my finger nails regularly and had little callouses on my finger tips. But I never got laid. So I quit. True story.

haha thanks a heap man. I'm only a few days old to Steemit and doing guitar lessons online, usually I teach people face-to-face. Really awesome to hear your thoughts on it all though. I feel for you about the last part but hopefully steemit dollars will fix that up for you ;p upvoted

@skeptic ·
if you are looking at it as an investment in the block chain and care not about the community i guess it makes sence to try to bring a bunch of idiot bikini's, problem is when word gets out that this site is nothing but bikinis and people with brains that actually put in work get flagged and no upvotes all the people will leave and steemit will die because it will just be your 48 people upvoting each other. with your whole post about how its pointless to contribute to the community because whales are only going to upvote bikinis then why at the end would you say to go write something that makes you smile? you just told us its pointless to put in the work to post something unless your a bikini. maby i am misunderstanding your post. :/

Hey, great post and very passionate! I upvoted with my minnow power. You are right, of course, but it is a chicken and the egg problem. Bottom line is that Steemit needs hype, and a $10k male makeup tutorial is going to get a lot more attention than a $10k dissertation on the effectiveness of osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis... because people are going to say, "Hey! Look at this idiot smearing lipstick all over his face! If he got $10k my analysis of something very important is going to be worth millions! Steemit, awaaaay!". And they will tweet/facebook/text their friends, cause who doesn't want to see what $10k of male lipstick looks like.

You sent me to a flapping bird that can't talk or write. Or move. He's just kind of stuck in the top left corner. Poor bird. I wonder who put him there? And why?

I wanted to do a really cool Matrix thing with red and blue pills but it didn't work out. So we're talking about your bird.

Thank you for your feedback and your vote - glad you liked it!

Ok, but the result will be, that you stop posting now and wait for the growth until your post will be worthy...

That is a terrible business plan.

Your content creation awesomeness power lever is currently (X).

If you do nothing until *the growth* happens your content creation awesomeness power level will still be (X).

If spend every moment between now and *the growth* cranking out awesome content your content creation awesomeness power level will be (X + Y).

X + Y always wins. Or at least buys you a Roomba. X can't afford  Roomba.

Great post! This is something that many people are questioning. The why? Is it fair? Who are these steemwhales and why they do what they do?. It can be discouraging and lead to bad feelings. Glad you explained this and motivate others to keep on steeming! Thank you for sharing!

Wow, So True John! I enjoy your writing very much. You inspire me to keep doing me, even if I don't have a lot of support yet.. I am going to continue making blogs because I enjoy it and as more people come on Steem, I hope to get more followers and see more people who are interested in "my kinda stuff."

Sorry I missed your comment! So neat to see people reading content that is now ancient in Steemit time... yes, keep blogging because you enjoy it. Commenting and curating are the fastest ways to build a following, and a following is what is needed to make meaningful rewards from blogging. ;)

The game goes even deeper. I said the same thing you're saying with a simple meme and I was downvoted by Dan (the same person that upvoted you thousands of dollars on this post) which removed all of my rewards. Then I was labeled a "misogynist" and targeted with a post by ... guess who.

On top of it, I was actually advertising Steem on other sites with that meme, which has been viewed by over 20,000 people to date. But Dan didn't approve and took all of my rewards away for the horrible deed of ... **knowing what works and trying to help out.**

Now you say it in 650 words and are granted $8,214.  Congrats, you win teh internets! =b

This is what your post looked like to the outside world.  
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1490085725/bozo_400x400.jpg
*Hi little girl, here's a dollar!  Let's be friends!*

WTF???

Not all of us are troglodytes with no social connections and no life.
But you seem to think we are, and so you're discounting everyone's contributions in favor of a flawed theory of marketing that won't stand up and will cause this place to crumble around you.

What you're saying is that... 
*It's ok to bring a bunch of people here under false pretenses, and later allow them to become completely disillusioned because expectations were high, but it's ok because "more eyeballs = more dollars"?*

Don't you realize that it actually dilutes the value of individual contributors and raises the noise floor?   But it's ok because... *Oh hey boobies!*

What do you think the network effect will be when that information is made generally public?

What are you 12?

Here is what happens when you upvote crap.
http://www.ekunji.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/constipation.jpg
<b>*More crap will come.*</b>  

The people who really want to use this platform.  The ones who feel passionate and will actually attract more users will leave soon, because they can't get attention.  Attention they deserve because they are contributing to the signal and not the noise.    

They feel cheated by a system that is rewarding *per capital* instead of *per capita*, all in a bid to lure new users in under false pretenses.

You won't get your *bikini clad chicks* here either, because they will know what a sexist twat you are for even spouting this kind of nonsense.

Then they will tell their friends to avoid this place because it's *full of creepy guys who want to lure in young girls and their friends.* 

The net result is that the people you are trying to target will stay away and instead of a community comprised of well rounded, well connected normal people; You will end up with a large community of fat middle aged men pretending to be hot young girls so they can get upvotes and $$$.

Social media is a powerful tool.  But all it takes is one actual well connected person, female or not, bikini clad or not, to cross post your blathering to twitter, facebook, instagram and the party is over for all of us.

The whales aren't whales because they are somehow smarter than us.  They are whales because they invested early.  They invested early because they believe that Dan & company can deliver something new and awesome and grow it into something incredible. 

I don't actually disagree with that assessment.   But there is a huge difference between coming up with an idea for a business and running it long term.  

If you are correct in their motivations, then this indicates a serious problem with their ability to curate content in the spirit that they said they would and now there needs to be a way for the community to address that problem or the simply upstakes and go somewhere else.

I have some ideas to solve these problems.  Ideas that I discuss here.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@williambanks/bot-warz-a-hybrid-approach

I like steem and I know it can be a powerful platform for good and an incredible tool for change.  

But your posting shows everything that is wrong with the way things are setup here.

Do you realize that your post is summarized in one paragraph as *"Hey it's ok we intentionally withhold money from quality content creators, because we're using it to lure in young girls?"*  

At least that's what my teenage daughter said when I showed it to her.  Because of you, she's not signing up and she's warning her friends away from here.  Can't say as I blame her.
Good Job @johnsmith !

So umm try again, maybe get to know some of the real people in the demographic you are trying to target and ask their opinion?

Ask your daughter, niece, wife, mom...
*Would you rather get paid to create insightful commentary about subjects you feel passionate about, or would you rather be objectified and leered at by a bunch of fat nerds in their mother's basement?*

Believe it or not, the pay is the same, so long as it's not being diluted under false pretenses.

Here is an effort that actually will bring in new users.  Users in the demographic you claim to be seeking out.

https://steemit.com/news/@williambanks/hot-or-not-vote-to-have-your-favorite-coin-developer-profiled

Several of my friends are extremely well connected in the social media space. They have decided to launch a youtube show because I did the legwork and got them excited about this place.  Then someone locked the doors.
Eitherway,  they want to build something introducing new users to the power that this incredible tool really does have. 

At the time I'm writing this comment, our post is older than yours by an hour.
We aren't asking for money or upvotes, we're just seeking topics of interest.
Yet that link has a total of $0.06 with 8 votes and 7 comments, while this one has 131 votes, 62 comments and $845.65

I'm not complaining here, but I am disappointed.

If there is no interest, you need to understand, that's just discouraging.
These are real people with 10's of thousands of social media connections and hundreds of real world connections.
 
They want to build an advertising platform to spread the word about steem. They'll do this because they realize the value of the platform.  This is something that costs the steem community nothing and yet it's being ignored in favor of cheerleading the whales into doing something dishonest.

So my question is this...  
Is the  *What's Hot, What's Not in Crypto Today*  show, failing to gain traction as result of people not actually caring? 
Or is it just being drowned out by the noise level in here because of posts like this one?

If you're really interested in bringing new users to the platform.  How about ya'll head over there and let us know what you want and what topics you want to explore?

I think it's only a matter of time. At some point the whales will stop upvoting pot and hikers and truckers and start supporting more mainstream content. But hey, you can't say it's not interesting.

@williambanks I really agree with you here, I actually just posted this here

https://steemit.com/steemit/@jmartens/personal-observation-of-steemit

Because ive been seeing articles upvoted strictly so users could try to cash in. Ive posted a few articles, and i don't think im by any means super interesting or anything but I really took my time and have shared genuine experiences that amount to $0.60 at the most. Personally im starting to feel like the entire steemit experience is false, its not about quality content its about jumping on the nearest trending bandwagon. Just my 2 cents

Write like no one is watching. Cause they aren't anyway, but you'll have more fun.

If you come to Steemit to make money you're going to get your ass handed to you. If you come to Steemit to do something you'd do somewhere else for no money, you'll handle your own ass. And it will feel good. Like money.

I wish I could figure out how to get a golf clap GIF for you, but apparently I suck, so I upvoted you instead.

You are, of course, completely right! But the world is a shitty and barren wasteland where dreams go to die and cockroaches thrive. 

So there was this thing called Facemash. Facemash was pretty simple - a college guy created an algo that gave college girls a numerical rating based on their physical attractiveness. Don't know the details, but basically a boner was a 10 and it went down from there. You get the idea.

So Facemash represents everything you just threw up all over - sexist, unfair, immature, exploiting, full of creepy guys. They didn't even pay the girls. Assholes. And you know what happened?

Yeah. Facebook happened. Facebook being the largest and most successful social media platform on the planet. And it didn't happen because all the girls called Zuckerberg a creep and left for the moral high ground.

Facebook is a veritable Victorian cess pool of creeps, fat white dudes, sock puppets, stalking, scheming and general human awefulness. Personal note, I had to sign up for a Facebook account to get a Steemit account and I'm still pissed off about it. I don't do reddit either, and needed karma, which I couldn't get fast enough, so had to give Facebook my phone number. WTF?

Where was I? Oh right. You're right. But humans are greedy and shallow and crave attention and money like a crack addict craves crack. So you're wrong, too.

Excellent comment, and thank you for taking the time to get it all out. Probably one of the best lessons in life is that you can't change people. They are who they are and as much as you want them to be something else they never will be no matter how hard you try. Same deal with the human race. You need to work with both sides, know and accept them for what they are, and not judge. For the love of god, don't judge. 

Zuck would probably give the chick in a bikini at the top of your post a 9, btw. Just sayin'.

So fecesbook blows and you're pissed that you had to sign up but steemit is going to turn into the new fecesbook and you're all psyched about it?

What about letting the greedy shallow humans keep playing on fecesbook and reddit and steering steemit in a direction that plucks the apples from the cesspool and provides them with the community and capital they need to develop projects that at least have some chance of making the world a better place?

So far, I haven't found your critical thinking skills or ethics to be very inspiring.  You'll probably do really well here if the whales don't wake up and reverse course!

The "chick in the bikini" is just Melissa Schwartz a good friend of mine.  It's no bikini, although she can choose what she wants to wear.  That's the photo she asked me to post because she didn't like the red wig photo.  She's a grown woman, a known photographer and videographer who's work was the subject of this month's Laika magazine cover.
http://www.laikamagazine.com/

She wants to join, but can't right now because ill guided attempts at marketing this platform have resulted in an influx of catfish and spammers that the system apparently can't handle.  Meaning legitimate new users are left out in the cold.

As for facebook, the difference is that Facebook already had the mind share.  They had it long before they opened to the public.

Facemash was quickly taken down for violation of terms of use of the computer network at harvard.  

Facebook was created as a MySpace for Harvard students and alums and was invite only for quite awhile.

I'm not judging you.  

I'm explaining that your post directly cost steem close to 30 users, mostly female between the ages of 18 and 24.  The demographic you claim you're trying to attract.

I was showing my daughter the platform while it's closed to new users.  She came across your post.
You lost upwards of 30 actual potential users from this posting alone.
Not because of anything I said, but because you underestimate the intelligence of the audience who is reading what you write.

My daughter, her friends?  They think you're a creep.  To quote her *I think he's got something I don't want to catch, issues*

The whole line of thinking in posts like these is sociopathic.  
That doesn't mean you're a sociopath.  In fact I'm sure you're a jolly fellow and if we met in person we would probably get a beer together.  But you are espousing a viewpoint that is in line with the views a sociopath would tend to hold.

You can in fact change people.  Moving hearts and minds through powerful, persuasive arguments and appealing to the inner good in people is done every single day.  You need to have the one thing that is lacking in people with sociopathic tendencies though... Empathy.

Put yourself in the mind of the people you are trying to bring to the platform.  What do they want to see?  Then build it for them and they will come.  But you have to leave the doors open.

Right now money is being spent to attract people.  It's your money too.  

People aren't going to go "ooh goody steemit is finally open, I hope they let me join!".  They're saying, "Wow that was a neat experiment, too bad I missed out and they had to shutter it like that.  I don't want to burn my social cachet by being associated with it, so I guess I'll just give it a pass".
Or worse...

"Yeah  right, some mommy blogger made $10k overnight?  Where have I seen that before?  Oh yeah, every scam ad ever!"

See my point?  Money is being flushed down the toilet and  you're encouraging the whales, which you evidently are one of, to keep doing so.

You can do it, but you'll build a reputation you'll never be able to live down while you watch the price of steem catch up to that of bitshares.

Thanks for the upvote BTW.  None of this is personal.  You guys have your platform, it's neat.  Reminds me a bit of  Friendster and MySpace back in the day.

I am really curious to see how a social media platform built, run, managed and curated by people who hate social media & social networking will play out.  If nothing else it's an interesting social experiment.

I agree with you, the thinking way the "whalers" think is a mysterium for me. I dont know why they think bikini etc has more friends then us.

I havebeen doing crypto for almost 3 and a half year now. And know alot of peaple.  I already recruted 5 ppl maby more, couse the registration is closed. 

And this is only within 5 days, and if they likes it they recruit friend, working mates ETC. So i dont know how the recruit way they think is best. But for me it lock like they almost only want girls here. 

If they would like a big and fast growth, they should share more power to almost allnew couse imagination how the word would spreed when they actualy can se how easy it is to use steemit and still have a profite. 

I think this comunity could be big, but now that i see how the growth and monney get distrubated i dont actualy knows any more. Couse i feel this gives a bad reputations one way and a good oposit way.

Steemit should be fear for ewerybody who use it, not a big group for one kind of peaple. 

We are all worth the same, and are also human being in the natural way. So ihope this was only temprarly and would change after this great threat about it. 

I realy like this project and hipe it would keep it like that. If not i think this soon or later would colapse.

I agree, this site will have quality posters turn away if something is not done! I spent hours putting together some photography posts, and get only $.03! Then i see posts from people ranting on about their joints they smoked and they have a few $K! Not really fair!

You know what we're doing right now? Something. I like the girls better than the car. But the car is pretty awesome. The girls are just more awesome.

@williambanks you gotta give him credit; the photos were quite impactful. Also, it is like the light at the end of the tunnel. Figure it out, basically is what he seems to be saying. And plus you did well off of his 'work' too so you can't be that mad...
