RE: Gaming, Social Media, Incentivization and Feeling a Sense of Accomplishment
In a sense that my hobby is gaming and I blog about gaming where I hope to at least break even (maybe one day). At least for me that would be winning here on steemit. I get to convert fiat money that I’ve already spent or will spend on future games into experience that I than get cryptocurrency out of for blogging. Even better I could exchange that to get more games even here more locally on steemit. Which means 0 transactions fees both ways! Is that winning or is that WINNING? I have no idea. That for now is what keeps me going.
Many seem to play steemit as a game. This place is at least a very deep maze with lots of hidden paths and traps. Some choose to venture very deep into that maze while others just enjoy the outskirts of it.
I do like the maze analogy. For me, Steemit is largely about "breaking even" as well... in the sense that I love to write and do the online social interaction thing, but I have typically never been able to justify participating much, as working "for money" was a necessity.
Here, I can explore writing and blogging in various forms and build a social media base... and the "ROI" allows me to spend time here, rather than having to give that same time to some 15-hour a week part time job.
And that's definitely WINNING.
I like your comparison with a maze. Deep maze, like real life.
