Can we beat the whales ?

in steemit •  9 years ago  (edited)


I love it here, do not misunderstand me ....

But it is quite frustrating to see the whales are getting all the fun and the money ....

So I have an idea ....

Why don't we create a group with voting power ....
We could set up a chat somewhere to discuss to which post we will put our voting power to ... and hopefully, beeing the first to vote, get some money for the curation ....

And no, it's not only about the money, the discussion and the choice could be interesting ....

So ? Interested ? Join me on https://chatstep.com/#steem-little-fishes

The whales aren't getting all the money... I'm making ~100 USD a week here and I'm certainly not a whale. If that isn't "enough" then you might be greedy.

Exactly lol, I made 500 usd in one day anything you see from me complaining about whales is a parody.

Though I can understand why some people are a bit upset or let down, I see a lot of content that's totally ignored.

Wow, that is pretty good! Well done, dude 👍

Thanks, I think I was just fortunate to land a couple of decent payouts for July 4th. Nothing else I've done has gotten me anything but I hit a power down and it's still generating more in interest than I'm receiving each week. It's a pretty sweet deal once it gets set up.

Well yes, that's really good .... the most I made so far was 0.25 $

Well I only made a few hundred on my introduction post and a bit on a couple of posts after that, but it hasn't been that much. I've had interest generating on my SP since early June, so I think that's the real secret.

I dont agree.

Dont whine! You have to create content, which seems to be so good, a whale give you his vote.

I had luck with this article, https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/steemit-has-insane-numbers-check-this-out

but i think it was written in a way, people voted for it, as they liked the information.

today i wrote about the Cinderella Theorie on Steemit

You have many posts, just keep posting, improve yourself, you wont need a voting group, you can make it on your own !

Everybody has a chance on Steemit, thats the beauty of it.

But there is no shortcuts, so only the people who try hard and have a little bit luck will earn some real rewards.

this is just my point of view!

Good idea.
I think that the whales don't want this.
They prefer a better redistribution.
It's just a side effect of a fair system.
We can work on a better redistribution for a group, but we need smart solutions for this. It's possible!!!

I have set up a slack chat, but I do not know how to put up an invite link, not sure, if it's even possible .... Any other idea ?

I'm not so good in everything, i'm just thinking on a bot-solution for a group.
But there are still problems with the distribution in the group.
And by the way ... a bit sheating is not bad.
It's only a game of redistribution of a new currency.

I'm not good all these.
I'm just thinking and preparing a bot, that graps the new/trending posts and makes a first selection and than generates a nice selection. There must be more goodies for this to work.

Hey i am in. We can start a post with pictures from your area/county, whatever you like :)

I am not looking for vote on my post .... we have to choose a post outside of the group, it would be more fair ....

  1. create a group
  2. everyone creates a post.
  3. everyone upvotes
    is this the plan?

That could be, that could create some start impact
Or we can all agree to vote on a specific post and get some curation power

No we can not kill the whales, I've tried organizing a coup in the past and they swallowed a lot of my bros whole. Would not recommend.

It's not about killing the whales, its about getting some power and fun.

The title was provocative, we can let them live, but we could create a whale composed of mini-us ....

Yeah, that would be cool. I also agree with @knozaki2015 you will succeed if you keep trying. Perosnaly I try to vote on new post to encourage others I know 0.02 is small but for other it might just be enough motivation to keep going.
There is a handful of post with high rewards while majority haven't even seen a day of light.

it can't be done, my army of moonjellies couldn't do it, you need 1k megasharks or 5k unidolphins at least.

with time everything is possible

I will start by upvoting all your recent post ... How about that ?

this is a good idea

Yes we can. There is a new HOT GONE SEXUAL EXPOSED MEME.

#scumbagsquid

here is the template

I bet you a Whale posted this. I know a Narc when I see one.

he has only 183 SP, so no he is not a whale. he is just a normal user

I was jk.

I wish I was a whale .... but if you think that, it means I could have a good idea ....

So I have created this slack group https://steemus.slack.com (as steem us, not US) .... but i need to send personnal invite apparently .... not the best thing ....Is there anything on the net where you can just create a temporary chat and get an URL to access it ?
