Obscessive platform usage for...

in #life7 years ago

So I have been watching and reading up on this platform, and of course having experience with other media platforms that has a way of gaining money for it's participants...and one thing is for sure.

Users are getting themselves addicted BECAUSE of the monetary gain.

Of course we all know how life is hard and money comes difficult, and everything wants your money so you end up spending more than you can afford...yet that's just it!

what many do not recognise is that the situation they are in is MAINLY caused by themselves. giving in to emotions feelings and useless marketing, they keep on making decisions that hinder their progress later.

Just today i found out a game i really want has a sale on 44.45$ instead of 57.15$. 28ish% discount?!?!?! gotta get thaaat!!!

no. just simply. no.

i didn't buy it, even if it only has a couple days to decide. because I KNOW marketing. here's always gonna be another promotion, because they ultimately want to sell it anyway. and that's just it. every company just want to sell. and most does not care about the buyer AFTER the fact. our age is full of crap like this. that discount did not cost the developer of the game any less...so they only discount it to sell more, simple again.

Practising EMPATHY of the company or their workers, makes you see the bigger prcture and be able to make better decisions.

back to the original topic at hand, online payout media sites, such as steemit as well.

the addiction is the idea of doing little for gaining more, and man that idea sold fast!

plenty people just write about nothing and make groups and organisation to minmax the system...

and that is an addiction of money reflected upon such platforms.

enough of the situation, how can we change this?
couple of ways of doing it of course, main area is RETRAINING your own thinking that nothing comes hard or easy, it's you who make it so.

yeah i work at a normal company for salary, but i choose that company and that product i wanted to create, and every time i go to work i am happy before at and after work. and this is JUST A MENTAL DECISION. just like why i lend assist to a group of friends making our own games for free as a second job :) (https://www.shogunategames.com)
Like choosing red dress instead of the blue.

so i don't mind those who push content to saturate and promote themselves to walk the stairs of the system...i just see their lack of willpower and choices that makes them do what they do.

i offer personal training for this kind of thing because i know, changing yourself, changes your environment faster than you can change your environment first.

still, i won't be gone from here, just like you can see here, i still appreciate everyone who does or doesn't read these.

Thanks for your time.
I'm here when it's time for you to change.
