RE: Greedy Minnows Chasing Whales – First impressions after my first week on Steemit
There is an unspoken rule that the introduceyourself tag should only be used for your introductory post, but you can use it as many times as you like. That's the thing, there are people on Steemit who want to tell you how to use it and impose rules that do not exist.
I think of Steemit as an innovation platform. You should try a couple of those tags, they might catch on!
I have no compassion for spammers and scammers, but beggars are another story. I've seen some legit cases on Steemit where people need help, and if I can upvote their post, what has it cost me? Nothing.
Grant it, my upvote isn't worth hardly anything, but if I feel someone is in need, I will use the tools available. I sent one fellow a small donation to help keep him out of a nursing home. In this case, this guy had made great contributions to Steem mainly in the form of two full-length novels serialized on a daily basis.
It's a matter of personal discernment.
I agree with your suggestions regarding the great work of @sammosk, @cem, etc.
Steemit is what you make it. Shape it to your liking.
yes ofcourse @quietdeluxe people in need of help are not beggars and should be helped by any means possible...I was talking about the "followmefollowyou" "please upvote me" the " please" type of people which I also feel compassionate about don't get me wrong but if we start giving to the "please" people everytime (sometimes you give out of compassion and karma/kudos) we would be all broke everytime lol...instead show me that you have an idea, a project or that you are having a humanitarian situation...I always tend to make long comments ..dangit! on the steemit rules part I think there is a guide somewhere here to how to behave which I think people tend to skip a lot and end up disappointed later but also you are right...it is not clear because often times you make posts talking about yourself so here is my syggestions:
...it\s all good tho I like steemit we got to watch that it won't get worse that's the most important thing...I am with small, slow but steady progress...it's ok with me! :) thank you for commenting, wish you a lovely day!! :)
