RE: My thoughts after spending my first week with 25sp
in the beginning there was Light, baha
don't get caught up in the drama and believe it or not this is what most of us had starting its just a diff word and we were all limited. i was used to Fakebook so i was commenting and replying like it was "like", we all been there and had to earn our way. it is what it is ... don't have high hopes of getting a handout and just work hard. hard work is what makes it on this platform. period.
Where did i mention getting a handout? I don't have high hopes of getting a handout. I had hope of onboarding tons of people that already have no problem paying for online services with tipping cultures such as twitch, or chatturbate. But if these people cant do anything without paying I highly doubt they are going to like the platform enough to want to pay. @edicted just made an awesome post about twitch and i cant possibly see any of that happening with the current state of the STEEM blockchain.

Also were not trying to attracting users like yourself anymore. Were trying to attract the masses, so we cant assume that they are going to throw money down the rabbit hole in hopes that something works out in the future. We cant be targeting your average Joe yet expect them all to think like early adopters and investors
it was not an accusation, but a way to approach steemit. a brand new acct/user does not have to pay. it is earned with activity and time. we all started here and if new people purchase steem like many of us have then more rc and mana is given. again, we all started posting in low numbers. i dont know edicted nor do i like twitch. many people do not find steemit their cup o tea. my suggestion is give it a month of high activity then decide. anyhoo, i typically stay away from these situations, but since you dropped into two of my groups thought id give some help.
thank you so much, ill try it. Conceptually I love all of this, and plan on sticking around long enough to see it through its first major contentious hardfork lol, and while I'm voicing my current complaints I'm not averse to recounting everything I said should you be right
if you just got here how do you know what it was like before HF? again dont get caught up in word drama. i started here 10 months ago and had the same exact capability.
ps. looks like you already got a post over $100, iv never gotten that either or many ive known havent sooo not sure why you are rant posting? steemit isnt like other platforms and if you are starting off well, just continue the momentum. also, rep up to 58? ppl who grind onthe daily dont get this kind of help.
i made another account when i first got into crypto, but then got caught up in other projects and forgot about steemit. I don't remember it having such a hard bottleneck then though
Im also transfering STEEM from my old account to here and I purposely chose to put a low amount of SP to test out how RCs worked for people with no SP. SO i guess i kind of lied im not new haha but im not some old whale just a guy whos hung around a lil bit then left but now im back for good
yes, many of us started that way too. i had one account and lost the key. you are not alone. anyway, looks like you have a good support system. Steem on!
yeah i figured you lied, i looked at your account and who upvoted you, i've been around too and i'm in the legal field. i can tell. at any rate, if you "bought" your account that also acts differently than starting as a fresh noob by waiting the 1-2 weeks for steemit, inc to approve it.
I tried making a new account through steemit but with all the problems i figured that it was just better to pay for one
guess what? i figured that out too and ya, thise have much less power than getting an acct the old fashion way. fyi
