Where are we going with Steemit?
During the past 2 weeks, the $ value of upvotes has gone down about 60%.
Whatever the reasons are - lower Steem value, increased user numbers, more upvotes having to be covered by the upvote pool and some other factors - we are soon back to where we were before HF19: that a upvote of a lowly minnow is worth nothing. With the only difference, that you can only give 10 meaningless upvotes per day instead of 40 .
If that trend continues, it will soon be over with the rapid growth of Steemit member numbers. And even some who are already members, will be discouraged to invest more effort into the community.
This is not good. I think, the people in charge of Steemit should seriously think about that, and try to find a solution to stop this developement.
I'm still fairly new here, myself. But I think Steemit has the potential for something great, and I would be sorry if this potential is not being used. Lets see what solution can be found to counteract this trend.
