RE: Win a 4.3$ Upvote by supporting fellow authors! SilentScreamer's 🔥//Weekly Steemian Spotlight//🔥 WEEK 3
Yes the bot reward scheme is a great idea.
I stand on the middle ground.
I think a little self encouragement when you are exhausting your creativity, time and energy is a pick me up. Its a moral decision that dident sit comfortably with me at the beginning because it feels like cheating.
But after countless hours of wrighting poetry, taking photos in situations at the peril of my camera, not to mention my night pics, morning pics, lunchtime pics and general pics.
Plus countless blogs of incitive information, day in and day out can be taxing when your reward is 40 cents.
I know what you're going to say it's not all about your post, you have to net work, participate with people, build friendships and let them know that you value there content and hard work, that you appreciate the effort they are contributing. I have been doing this as well. And please don't get me wrong I am addicted.
I feel it has reinvigorated my creative side and allows me to share and express what I love and feel, and I enjoy a laugh at peoples ( steemians )responses and articles.
I guess that's why I haven't played any original songs yet is because the idea of extreme vulnerability, and placing a part of you into the spotlight for a return of 60 cents would cast a shadow of doubt and rejection on what I feel is a part of me.
Time will change things because I can see I am slowly growing.
So my opinions have changed on trying bots, I am fine with it, not all the time mind you.
But as in all things people will abuse the privilege and sour the taste for everyone.
You have to remember we are not competing with each other for money, we are here to encourage one another and your idea is encouraging.

I feel like I sold my soul. lol
I know how you feel. The bot attractiveness can pull you to do not great things. I even found myself thinking i could put every post i have in trending. Why shouldnt i? Its my right and i think i make good content. But then you stop and think to yourself: how fair would that be to others?
It would not.
Bots have their use, and their use should not solely be for creating maximum exposure for yourself in every opportunity. You need to curate yourself and judge yourself on post to post basis.
I agree, Tell me could you listen to the song I put up even though its not finished I did it anyway and regret it.
I missed open mic will try again, but would like and value musos feedback. Thanks
Hey. I have to say i was blown away.. I think you need to work a bit on your singing especially in the higher octaves but the emotion was, the lyrics are sublime.
This is by far, and i dont say it ligthly, my favorite original song i have ever heard on Steemit.
I would love it if you would do me the honor and let me cover this song with you playing the guitar. I would give you all the credit neccesary and share 50% of the payout with you.
This song is an absolute gem. This really hit me out of nowhere.
Its really hard to put into words how good i think this is.
I dont wont anything, your welcome to use it.
I havent even finished it properly I put it up because I had itchy feet. I do need to work on my music and vocals because I never play, only when I write songs.
I only played that song through twice and than hit record.
I have better songs than that for you to play.
Hopefully i can follow all the rules and time frame so i dont miss out this week on my submission.
I only play originals. Thanks for your opinion I will start practising again.
