Let's shift the blame for a moment shall we? We keep saying that the authors are shit and they write dull, soulless posts to earn 50 cents so they can afford to feed their 15 kids. These are all true facts, but let's look what incentives a serious writer has to be active on Steemit.



The Average Reader Doesn't Read

Why should he read anyway, when in order to get a reward he simply has to upvote randomly and leave comments like "Nice". And even if they upgrade their strategy and start writing more than 3 words, the hegemony of the circle jerk makes sure that the comment isn't "offensive", impolite or generally it doesn't disagree the message of the post. Just blow our dick or we will cut your head off. Lastly, most people simply don't understand english to the deegre that is required to write a quality post. Is it not true that the most active users are from foreign shithole countries? I know that's offensive to call another country a shithole, but please grow a spine. If your government steals your food, destroys your future and rapes your economy, why do you feel the need to defend it?

A platform where automative, generic responses are rewarded, the relationships cultivated are fake, due to the incentive to be nice and any depth of meaning is useless as it flies over most people's head.

DUDE, SIGN ME UP!

Why bother writing in-depth, meaningful posts, when they go unnoticed? You can just join a curation trail and just masturbate simultaneously!

"You hypocrite! You have written many posts yourself, why do you do it?"

As I said here, I don't regard Steemit as "another stream of income". It is a longterm investment.

I write daily. Why not post it anyway on Steemit and build an audience here?

Right now, I have 89 followers and my posts are carefully constructed in a way that shitty people don't follow me, comment or understand me. So I am blessed in a way. Imagine having 1k+ followers. I would be talking shit all day in my comment section.

Of course the problem isn't unique to Steemit. Everywhere you go the same thing happens (just go to celebrity Twitter), but here everything is on steroids because of the reward pool.

So, is there a way to fix that? Sure, stick around.
