don’t like when the real solution is to putout better content.
How do you define better content? Is having a deal with a whale to get shitposts to top make them good?
Do you think my post is 8x better than your comment? I put that 5.5 vote to specifically show you how steem is working currently.
Lmao
:D looks like writing good content is a waste of time
Why We Should Thank Ned, Dan, Haejin & BernieSanders

This comment in my opinion isn’t any better or worse then mine but you got the money to have such a powerful self vote through hard work/good posts. So you likely bring more to the table than me and deserve the money more. Steem being valued so high, being buyable, and the early adapter advantage does throw things off a bit, but still I feel the principal is fair.
I specifically don’t back him...
Right, it's not necessarily content quality but having a following. Obviously, grabbing the coattails of an established influence is one way to gain some traction when you don't have an established following. If you are I don't think the top posters deserve Pulitzer prices, it doesn't matter. They have an audience. Did some of them gain that audience by buying them? Possibly, but marketing always costs money.

sounds like America
Well, it is like America. One group gets the other people riled up against a scapegoat all the time. Are other countries really different? Tell me where this utopian paradise is. I just thought it was human nature.
it's human behavior and human habits.
we are the only intelligent mammal species I know of that destroys itself by destroying one another.
it doesn't take more than one airplane flight to quickly wake up to the fact that this "nature" is nothing but a program set up centuries ago by the owner class and is maintained and defended by the passivity and wiliness to cooperate from the slave class.
Only in America have I seen the majority of the slave class worship their owners.
it's ok, change is coming. keep steeming and be ruthless in dealing with those who have abused their powers.
@tetsuo you mean bankers :) just saying...
they are one rank of the corrupt class.
if you ever visit LA, I encourage you to drive through Bel Air and then take a 15-20 minute drive to Skid Row. Even in a self-proclaimed progressive city, this culture is rampant. Cryptocurrency is the cure for this horrific economy as power will no longer be centralized into a small group whwhere the members of the group are rewarded for their social ties more than their actual contribution to their fellow human beings.
what do you think?
Haven't been there. Yet. I'm from Europe, so I'm also travelling on different sides of this continent. Mostly. But maybe one year I'll have a kind of travelling adventure around US. Cryptocurrency is the cure in a way. But as any other currency, even cryptos can be managed by that 1%. Bitcoin is already held by WallStreet. We will see what it brings in future
and yes, burn the banks to the ground
I want to see that rage in everyday people. People who mostly look into their phones instead into the world around them. I want to see the awareness and more activity...
