RE: Change of Pace: Who ARE These People, With Their $1,000 Posts?
I will receive a $100 upvote very soon, and I will notify you when it occurs
Ok, just do that if you want... :)
I'm here for 4 years now, and I'm a bit less optimistic by now.
...but that is how things are
That is no excuse, not here and not for any other mess in the world.
I have been criticising this pretty much since I joined Steemit (which was somewhat different back then, but not neccessarily better), and almost nobody supported my views. Everybody was hoping to make money, and nobody would risk that by speaking up.
I never wanted to be part of that, and accordingly I have made very little money compared to some others who are here for the same time or even shorter. And I never took any Steem out of the account - like someone with a Rep of 60 or 70 and 50 SP must have done.
But I dont even check such things before I upvote. I solely upvote by what impression a post or comment make for me. And I dont make 1 Cent votes, because I know they will be lost as dust. Another thing that needs to be changed.
Of course it is not an excuse,as I said before what ever you do not like, you can fight to change it. Love it or leave it :)
Criticizing is a behavior which usually occurs from the feeling of envy. Don't you think that instead of criticizing it would be better to focus on how you will improve,promote your blogs, make friends and generally change something to have better results? I think that we should change our attitude if it isn't getting us the results we want.
I guess that you have made very little money because you write in german, and you haven't participated essentially in a community. You haven't dedicated yourself on the platform or you do not really believe in its possibilities.
Personally I think we should upvote even with half cents vote. Even if the value is not important we are showing to the writer that we have read the post.
P.S I speak very friendly and in any case do no want to insult you. Just expressing my point of view. Maybe I am wrong. :)
No, its ok, you can have your opinion as I have mine. I have certain principles and I am not giving them up for money. Perhaps you need a bit more time to really see whats going on here, and that its foremost the newbies who get fooled into believing in a oppertunity to make easy money. And I'm not even starting to talk about the whole Justin Sun thing...
