Actions speak louder than words.
The current payout situation on steemit is the very best moment to show why people are actually here.
"I came for the money but stayed for the people." Sure? Then why do you stop posting when the rewards pool is reset? We are all still here to support you :) Just saying...
The true value of social interaction doesn´t lie in its financial outcome.
Rewards
What does please you more? An engaging, refreshing, smart, funny, heart-warming comment on one of your articles or some SBD on your wallet?
I don´t know how you´d reply to that one, but to me the answer is crystal clear.
In my life money generally doesn´t have a major importance. It´s just a means to an end, something unavoidable I need to pay my bills, to fulfill my travel dreams and to get some new surf equipment.
However, money doesn´t define the value of my creativity.
Why have financial rewards been chosen to evaluate content on steemit?
Because money is a globally understood currency to define value.
However, when money fails there are still infinite ways of showing appreciation to others.
In the attention economy the most valuable currency of all is: TIME.
Translated to our current situation on steemit: no matter how many financial rewards are going to be allocated on a specific piece of content, our time spent is worth much more than that!
You wanna create some true value? Then just do it :)
