RE: What Do You Really Want Out Of Steemit?
That is very thought provoking. I think it is a combination. Alone no one can succeed, we need the community but if you are just in the community and do no work you are dead weight and drag the whole community down. Think we all need to put in the individual effort to support the community because the stronger the community the more potential we all will have.
@bowentroyer I agree that we should be putting in what we see to be effort, but that is only determined by what we hope to get out of it. Some people view this as simply a social media to meet amd talk with people. Some people treat it like a MLM scheme to make money. I think there is a pressure to join a community. You have people who would enjoy reading and commenting and occasionally posting start feeling pressured to join a community and then support that community and everyone in that community. I have seen this often.
Wow @freedompoint, I have never ever seen that at all. I have people asking me daily how to join homesteadersonline what the goldenAmbassadors are or steemUSA is etc etc. I see people running toward community not only wanting its support but offering their support.
I have seen those people who want the support of community and all the benefits of the community, but then want to set back and not return the support. They tank and never give back. Those kind of people will always be around though. Just the way it is.
I can see your point. I agree. I think you get what you put into it.
No ''work'' equals no post so there wouldnt be anything to upvote or resteem and by the same token fluff post or just outright bad post get sorted out in the long run. I do agree we have to all do our part for the community, and for the most part I really do think that is being done. As @goldendawne stated I also agree that upvoting and commenting especially seem to be at a all time high from what I am experiencing anyways.
Thank you,
No work is equal to the weakest link in my mind. I know people who are floaters and will sit back and let others do the work but as soon as recognition is being announced, they spin into action.
I have always enjoyed the homesteading community and try to make all involved feel welcome, give guidance and support as well as helping them find their way. Without the HSO community and group I'm not sure where I would be on steemit right now.
What do you mean by do the work? I am not sure what that would mean. If we don't do anything there can't be recognition for anything.
I was referring to when I worked in an office and we had projects with deadlines. Some people just showed up for work and did little to aid the project at hand. I suppose I should have clarified that in my previous comment.
I had been thinking about team work.
I can even remember one time in high school; during science/biology class and we were partnered up with another person the teacher choose. At the time it didn't click in my head but some people were complaining about how their partner wasn't doing any of the work but took the grade/recognition.
Nice! That makes sense!
