What a whale is and why this is bad.
you post good content. but because out of 36,800 users only 45 user actually have any real power to up-vote your content and therefore give you money.
What does this mean
even if all of the other 36000 members up-vote your post. the steemit network would think that only 7% of user were interest.
How to beat the system
1 MV = 1M VESTS = 243.723 STEEM = $869.362
If you wanted to become a superuser and grab a 2% influence it would literally cost you 869 dollars but to be a legend you would have to invest 869,000 dollars to the network so while you think you have a chance at fame and fortune the truth is unless one of the founders of the company up-votes your content. you will make very little money, and its simply not in there interest to do so.
It gets worse
on any given day there are only 5000 accounts active meaning that even if all users were to up-vote your post you would barely break 0.8% interest. but there are 24 hours in a day. meaning 5000/24= only 208 users on average will ever see your post. that doesn't even break .001% interest.
so why do some make money?
my thoughts while unproven are. I think its a shell game. while users put Money into into network whales take it out.
don't believe me up-vote this post and bookmark it for later. you will that unless a whale upvotes no money is to be made.
this is a problem that eventually will cause the end of steem!!!
