Where are these 3 friends of yours?  Why is it I keep hearing from people who have been here saying "this is bringing new users" but I have not had an argument from a new user who came not to write but to vote for steemsports.

(Queue fake users to back up this comment)

And if they are here why are they not writing?  Can they not see they would make more steem for adding a valuable contribution to the platform?  Just a comment such as yours makes more than the steemsports payout!

You're right.  Not everyone is a blogger.  Such as myself.  I'm not a writer nor a blogger.  I came here with an open mind and got lucky.  The more I commented and interacted with people the more followers I gained.  And still many of my posts make less than a dollar and I am pleased despite that.

You don't have to be a blogger!  Your comments are being voted for by people who value your input.  This is a platform built and designed for people to be rewarded for 2 things
1. Contributing value
2. Finding and rewarding things that contribute value (according to the people who vote after you, although that really only works for whales)

By finding things that contribute value you are contributing value.

By placing a free bet with the funds from the reward pool you are not contributing value.  You are just paying the bookie to get a penny back.

This bookie and the whales seem to want the minnows to get used to being minnows.  Instead of doing the work of seeking out new authors and rewarding them to make them feel welcome, they are supporting this game so that you can get a penny instead.  Instead of getting used to being a minnow and powering up one account to become a new whale, you could be helping us fill this place with dolphins.

>And if they are here why are they not writing? Can they not see they would make more steem for adding a valuable contribution to the platform?

This is your mistake. You (and others) keep insisting that only "bloggers" make any meaningful contributions to the platform. As I pointed out in my post that you said you had read (Content Crusaders), not everyone is a blogger or *wants to be one.* Some people come here to read, vote, and occasionally comment. They participate in the system - and yes, they also want to earn rewards for their activity (shocking, I know). Are such users not allowed to vote for games that earn them a small pittance for their efforts? Are you of the opinion that, if someone isn't contributing "meaningful" blog posts, they should just stop using the platform (as another crusader had suggested)? 

I know everyone likes to pretend that *their* preferred content is what *ought* to make the most money and earn them the best rewards, but they really need to get over this and start understanding that 1) this place is not *only* for writers, 2) it is designed entirely around the concept of *economic incentives,* and 3) if you don't like what the larger stakeholders are supporting, you'll have to convince *them* to change or you'll have to compete with them by raising your own stake. Endless complaints won't work well. Trust me on that.
