RE: Educating Steem: NSAIDs and Kidney Injury
Nice post but there is a bit of a quirk in the system that when whales vote too much on one post, the rewards are blown up out disproportionately, staving out many other posts. I disagree that this is a positive for Steem. For that reason, I'm downvoting it but please don't take this as personal criticism or criticism of your post, it isn't that.
Yeah, I have remained pretty neutral on this issue. I will not lie it sucks to lose half of my earnings but you have the freedom to do that. I believe in freedom. My only critique would be on my last medical post on seizures I received 3 bucks. I believe that was worth more than that. So in a way I can see how sometimes a bigger payout makes up for not being noticed on another.
I hope you enjoyed the article and hopefully this awareness about NSAIDs will save lives. Look out for my posts when they are at 2 bucks haha.
As I have commented elsehwere, you should realize that a good part of the reason your received $3 is the rewards being hogged by a few top posts at the time. That is especially true at $3 (unlike those that are much lower) since it demonstrates that the post got a pretty good amount of voting, but reward fund was just too depleted to pay more.
Please keep posting, I like your medical posts and I would certainly vote them up in the future as long as it doesn't amount to extreme reward concentration.
I think your reasoning has good intentions as long as it is consistent. Hopefully when the price of Steem rises (and I believe it will) a payout of 40 bucks will be average.
I also think that people who keep most of their money in steem should also benefit from that. I play with some trading but use my Bitcoin money. Most of my posts for months have stayed within steem and I have never powered down. Distributing rewards can come at a price if those individuals take it out of the steem economy. While the work is more fairly distributed, the fate of steem hangs in the balance. Flooding the exchanges is part of the problem with low rewards too. Should a portion of my profit loss go to potential people who flood the market...I don't know. Just another thing to consider.
I respect that you gave me reasoning, and I hope from your actions.... either we come up with a better system to mitigate distribution without hurting a reputation or we find a way to distribute without you having to downvote. For instance, if you like my post you should be able to express that as a reputation increase at least.
Time usually solves differences in opinion. Complaining won't help. I believe in Steem and of course will keep posting. Positive comments drive me more than money.
Yes I certainly agree and that is why I am commenting at all on posts which make, say, $50. When the price of Steem hopefully rises and $50 is a "small" reward, I won't take note of it. A post that earns $50 now would probably earn over $2000 with the exact same voting back in July. It isn't the specific amount that matters, it is the nature of the voting and how it relates to the overall pool.
Thank you for your feedback.
Just because a few think they can drive on the wrong side of the road doesn't mean that's the way it should be.
I thought you should have kept that reward without anyone's opinion of your reward. You got it because whales decided to give you that. It's like you're saying it's okay to take your money and give it to someone more deserving, Who is 1 or a few people to say you are receiving too much.
I agree with some of your concern. Trust me, I didn't like losing 45 bucks. However, I was more frustrated with the negative effect on reputation. Yes my reputation went up but it lost just like the money. I think redistributing is a debatable topic in general but there should be a better way to go about it than in a negative looking way. Maybe changing the voting curve would resolve a lot of these issues.
