What is the Deadpost Intitiative?

The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.

Last week

This week I regret that the payout is so much smaller than it has been, but that's how it goes. As I mentioned last week, I've gotten rid of the 10 Steem minimum prize pool, and as the risk to myself is gone, I've stopped rewarding myself with half the SBD payout after $10. I think this is good for everyone. Less pressure for me and hopefully something more people will want to support as more of the rewards go to users who need it the most.

As a result though we will only have one winner this week. Hopefully the situation will change soon. I am thinking about messaging some whales/dolphins directly in order to gain some support for the initiative. I feel much more justified appealing to them for help now that I am not going to take any of the SBD rewards myself and there are a few who I think might be interested in supporting the project. I usually don't like sending links and asking people to upvote but as a majority of this will go to users who are smaller than myself, I don't need to feel guilty about it. Everyone else feel free to do the same.

Last Week's Winner

@alignment - $ 2 Steem prize

@alignment is an aptly titled steemian and this post exemplifies alignment very well. I've said this before, I would love to collect garbage for a living if the pay was high and the hours were short. I will surely be following this user and you might want to as well :-)

You are not superior to the most inferior of people; you are not inferior to the most superior of them either.
