So Steemit is evolving from human whales upvoting cute girls to a robot whale prediction market. You are Frodo. I am Gimli. I'll cut your toenails if you clean my beard. Let's do this!

Yep. So what do we do about it? Whale's gonna whale, cause they're smart and can game the system in ways I couldn't understand if they wrote it out with cheese and crackers. Curation, not content creation, is the key. Which you already know. What I don't know is how to scale benevolent minnow curation. Maybe you know. You seem to know things. Important things.

@bacchist You just DE-motivated me ( a little bit ) ! But nobody will stop me telling my stories . (upvote or not ) I love and admire Rok's posts and many other good skilled writers but you basically just said that only GREAT writers have a chance . I don't think so ! There are many wonderful stories being told from real people like this young Indonesian man , one with very bad english skills . It touched me more than one paragrap[h of Heidis travels , There is a certain kind of human magic sometimes coming through , better than those "super drupa " awesome ones . https://steemit.com/life-story/@moch-yusuf/my-story-my-life-like-a-coffee-coffee-teach-me-about-how-to-enjoy-life#@moch-yusuf/re-mammasitta-re-moch-yusuf-my-story-my-life-like-a-coffee-coffee-teach-me-about-how-to-enjoy-life-20160722t101311737z
