Blogging on the Blockchain was pleasant, smooth and without hassles; only early adopters could attest to these words! Two years down the line, Steemit Blogging took a Bizarre turn. Turned for good to some and bad for several others, but to huge investors and to those lucky and smart enough to find and join early to get large chunck of the pre-mined SteemPower; this musing might be of less interest to them. To the new influx of users, minnows and newbies; this will interest you. A brief history into time of Blockchain Blogging on steemit is what i want to rant about.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOUR REWARDS ARE TINY
Getting an encouraging upvote and visibilty on any fantastically drafted article wasn't a nightmare 8 to 10 months ago, approximately a year ago. Things just changed drastically and their seems to be an end to the endless spiral loop to spammers sucking the hell out of the Reward pool meant for thousands to themselves.
After one year on this platform, trust my rants. Have you ever wonder why people buy upvotes and use promotional services on their articles? It is simple, most people are exhausted spending days and hours on an article without nothing to show for it, seeing same sets of users on the trending page day in day out with large pending payouts; each users keep wondering what is so special about those blogs that drains the rewardpool leaving just crumbs to them. A perfect solution to these nightmares is to drain the rewardpool together more if nothing better comes out of it.
There is no moral debate on whether to use upvote services or not, these servcies actually ends some of users anxiety of spending a lot of times on an article and not getting anything in return, the low reward payout is solved irrespective of how much spent on those services.
WHALES GETS TIRED
Not every Whales and Dolphins are super kind and friendly, just a handful of them. But even the solo-Grumpy Whales do upvote good contents in the past, in the present day Steemit; things were not the same again. Whale summoning runied the show for good authors out there, take a wild guess and picture thousands of users memo-spamming this Whales and Dolphins to get their upvotes, i'll be overwhelmed if i were to be in their shoes too!
COULD HARDFORK OR SMT RESTORE ORDER?
I and hundreds more people have earnestly waited for the next Hardfork to come, which up until now never came. The reason to a desire Harfork is that, to every upgrade there is a slight or big change to protocols and algorithm, these changes could restore some of the beautiful days of happy Blogging and not having to spend your tokens to get more rewards out by draining the vaults same time with thousands other users.
Until these changes comes, self sustainance is the key to survival on the present steemit, finding niches and being active in communities are like desert and toppings.
Do not spam, never plagiarize and do not join the bad gang of RewardPool Rapist!
