I stopped writing in steemit because of the constant forms of vice that was practiced on that platform, but one of the most unlikely practices was that applied by some communities
Steemit at the time was a very interesting social network, and in fact it still is, the paradigm that was changed in Social Networks with this platform really changed my way of thinking and the way in which value is given to the content that is generated in the computer.
For Venezuelans, steemit represents an opportunity to escape the crisis, and personally helped me expand my margin of knowledge regarding the Bitcoin community around the world, I think Steemit for Latinos was very important to know about social networks monetized.
On the problem of rewards in communities
Two heads think more than one, and as a team you work better, in the union there is strength and groups attract more people.
On several occasions I won rewards of more than $ 10 per publication, and those who voted for me were extraordinary authors and communities very dedicated to valuing talent and good content.
In the previous images you can see the content that it had and some of the rewards that I won thanks to the attention that the communities had on curious and interesting topics, but little by little the story was changing
Whale communities
And if you were part of these communities you had authority or believed yourself with the authority to discard good content, or simply valued mediocre content in order to get more people, the interest of some of these people was to have a greater number of people involved in their interests in order to show muscles to the terrible competition of irregular groups that only made money by paying robots that gave them rewards
The system was friendly to those of us who worked individually, but then the large communities were the ones that conditioned you to generate content only for them, regardless of whether you wanted to publish something different, and not be involved only with the interests of the communities.
Example: I always talked about philosophy, history or politics, suddenly the communities forced you to put their labels in order to be rewarded and exclude new communities, or eliminate the possibilities of gaining followers, in itself, steemit changed its modality to a network social of groups and not to a social network of individual content
About mediocre content
I lasted 3 days, creating quality and original content and what the communities did was ignore or criticize your content, even worse was when they voted mediocre content or required you to be active daily with forms and styles of content with the style and forms of design that they asked for, with their conditions, with their characteristics and their ways of thinking, almost that you had to enter their personality and abandon yours to earn a little reward
Robot groups
In other cases everything was summed up in payments to robots and percentage systems with rewards, the steemit api allowed you to cheat to put your first publication on the list, very unfair to those who made a large and very innovative content Vrs , a content that did not even respect the laws of grammar.
The developers realized
In short, the developers realized that something was wrong from the steemit directive to the cheating groups, and ended up developing their own pages where opportunities were offered to new talent and those who made quality content.
About Read.Cash and communities
I'm not saying that Read.cash is about to fall for these steemit vices, but we must be careful, fortunately it seems that read cash realized that need to have a place where quality content is valued without cheating , and with the aim of generating jobs that support the culture of Bitcoin in the world, it is a way to change a paradigm of monetized but decentralized networks, a place where you are autonomous and your money is respected.
I remember Yours.org where there was also an opportunity of value to many creators but unfortunately its developers had a different vision and I do not even want to remember what happened on that opportunity.
I think that we should not allow the Read.Cash communities to find interests about the main objective of this social network and forget the little ones who come to do jobs with much sacrifice
Now i believe what someone here said about steemit disparity on content creator and getting rewarded. Though i have not been to other similar platform as read.cash, i strongly have confidence in this platform and the community system. I have wrote a couple of articles on the community system and the challenges in it. If the moderators do a good job read.cash will be a great platform. You can check out my articles @read.cash community a blessing indeed, and @hello moderators
