I hear you... money talks around here... and too many treat this platform like a printing press for their own coffers...
I don't think it was designed that way, though... looks a bit like the tragedy of the commons to me. The individuals (or too many of them at least) focusing on short term gains over long term health in the economy.
Putting that in the mix with a severely skewed wealth distribution and the resulting reward issuance might be a destructive combination though, I share those concerns!
The other thing I find sort of funny? weird? ironic? is that less than 5% of my followers upvote my posts....are them really that bad? I know I'm not Mr writer and I rarely make posts past the 2000 characters but I know how to make drawings...In fact I feel I was getting more upvotes back in 2017 than now that I feel I've been getting better both in my art and writing posts...or was that I got worse and I don't know? xD
I'm definitively getting more commissions now....perhaps I shouldn't worry that much about this and just enjoy the ride while it lasts hehe
I liked when the SBD was ~12$ hehe
well... the tragedy of the commons ;)
maybe we all need to worry more and still enjoy the ride even when it's a bit bumpy at times ;)
