well, you earn a loooooot on Insta via sponsors etc etc...there are many ways how to monetize account on Insta. And you get those rewards immediatelly and are not locked in..soo it's not all black and white...btw I totally remember the post about transformation to microblogging...he was talking about old-school steemians being against it right? I totally think it's a think which will happen sooner or later..people don't read posts here..even I havent read this one whole..it's morejust a scanning of a text, looking for something interesting...but time's too precious to read 20-30 posts a day cuz that's the amount of upvotes I ususally give...hah and the DMania was crazy..I just lately thought about it...where are all those Meme creators now :D 60$ for one meme :D and some of them were getting the upvote daily :D it was crazy :D what was wrong about the execution of DMania?
I dont think the lock of the rewards is this big of a problem. The problem is that insta etc is way more scalibible than steem atm.
The way they upvoted could be played by using bots as they made their bot vote for what received the most upvotes
Whaat really? :D Soo if you had a lot of people automatically upvoting you, you had a huuge chance of winning with even a bad meme? Wow didn't know that...that explains why I never got the upvote haha :D
sometimes the game is rigged.
