RE: "Strassenmusikant" - A Typical Viennese Song For Steemit's Randowhale And Those Kind Of Votes We Might Need Or Not?
I never liked the idea of buying votes. I abstain from any polarizing posts about the topic because I caused enough political turmoil for now.
I also saw many of my favorite authors using randomwhale, so I thought there is maybe a bigger reasoning behind it, but as far as I can see it just paying for votes, which is a very unhealthy system for Steemit in my opinion.
Do you have a reason for using the boosters, other than "I would go under if I do not do it - everybody does it"? This is not meant to bash you, I am genuinely curious.
I am testing if there is any difference. For now It looks that it helps. @thatgermandude I never do because everybody else does it #justsaying
I did not mean to implicate that you do not give any thought to your actions. This post of yours is already proving the opposite ;). I meant that the shift from earning votes to paying for votes might very tough on people who decide to not pay for it. So there might be some indirect pressure for you to use the randomwhale system as well.
I am not very informed about the topic, I just feel it undermines the thing that a vote is actually meant too represent, but that might also just be my bias towards "pay to win", maybe Steemit is more complex than browsergames ;).
I understand I am truly confused, basically I don't think it's "ehrenhaft" to sell your so called powerful votes.
Kind of mean to give us no other choice but pay or NO vote at all.
Such a difficult subject to decide on and I am wondering how to build and create a fair community.
