Step 1. Be an attractive white woman who wears revealing clothing. 

Step 2. Talk about how you're traveling or hiking or camping. 

Step 3. Say Steemit is awesome. 

Step 4. Post lots of pictures of yourself in your revealing clothing and where you're traveling. 

Step 5: Carve the bitcoin symbol into your forehead. 

Step 6. Sacrifice a goat. 

Step 6. Repeat the incantation. "Tahw eht lleh yhw t'nod ym stsop teg yna setov sti ton riaf siht ecalp si deggir sti lla tsuj a gib macs"

Step 6. Do not resist the spirits, give yourself to them. Let the money flow through you. All you see is profits. 


Oh and throw in something about smoking weed too.

Great sense of humour ! ha ha ha ha ha @ecto
The time value of money - you still have time therefore you still have money ;)

Lol you do make a valid point... But I think this is only an initial incentives/ income inequality problem. It might get fixed as time goes on, as people crave novelty and trends change.

Let's hope so. Because, right now it doesn't reflect well on us as a whole. However, I'm guessing that the ratio of men to women on this site right now is close to 80/20. Maybe even more disparate. Let's hope it evens out and we don't see so much of this in the future.

Preach.

Thank you. I've been feeling slightly disadvantaged because I can only perform Step 3. (I've got kids, so I can't go around carving symbols into my forehead. You know how it is.)

Now come on man, that's negative thinking. Turn it into a family activity! Have your kids help!

Yeah, too young to help yet.

hahhahaha lol

Step 7: add a witty comment to a post that does well.

Lol.

what happens if i just repeat step 6. only one i can complete?

You get yourself some tasty tasty goat meat.

thanks for sharing the secret haha

Step 7. Make sure you have the Steem logo somewhere in your post.

Place this talisman upon your posts and whales shall surely be attracted to it.

Yes, it's discouraging. And a bit frustrating, but then again nothing is fair and no body really cares. It's really a dog eat dog world here. Social degradation and filth is valued more than anything that is portrayed as informative and intelligent. Its a direct reflection to the masses and their values. As far as women dressed in revealing clothing, well have you ever heard the phrase "Sex sells"? It's true. Most people are guided by what they "see". And other just want to see pictures. Few are actually interested in written content. However, don't forget that luck plays a role here, and if you want to write something... ...Be passionate about it. Don't do it for money, do it because its something you really want to put out there. You will almost always be disappointed if you do this with only money in mind. It won't work that way. Keep at it though. I upvoted you to motivate you. Keep trying, don't worry about anyone else just worry about yourself.

Here's the problem with that though. If whales keep being predictable, keep upvoting the same kinds of posts over and over while other content goes unnoticed and unrewarded, then guess what? People will stop making content. Or worse, steemit will just become a giant clone factory as posters create nothing but knock offs of things that whales like.

We already see this happening. Some guy got 1000 bucks for saying "Oh man, look at this weed. I sure like weed" with a picture of some weed. And now there are tons of similar posts. I think if it keeps going like this, it's not gonna do good things for the community.

I see your point and I agree. But I wouldn't worry about it. In the end if what you say really does happen and people just stop posting because their content is ignored over some meaningless crap then I can almost promise you that STEEMIT market wont last very long.

It's funny because its true.

A few days ago I spent a long time writing a technical article :

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@joelpa/why-bitcoin-is-not-sustainable-and-a-better-alternative-to-the-proof-of-work-algorithm-part-i

The results? I got 2 upvotes...
I guess I don't have "what it takes" to make it
Better post pictures of my girlfriend while traveling...

Regards!

Hey, you've got 6 upvotes now, including mine. So, don't be so hard on yourself. :)
