RE: I Don't Know What I'm Doing So I'll Do It Anyway and Call It Cool
Thanks to all those keeping an eye on things and downvoting the trash.
Being away means you missed the drama, and there's been some in the last day or two. I do wonder why I participate in all this, probably because I have a decent investment here.
I came for the content and an outlet to write. I wish sometimes that was it, and all this other stuff I didn't have to do.
I saw some of the drama. It's taking center stage in some cases, which reminds me of the time we dodged a bullet. Joe Rogan had Steemit up on his screen during one of his podcasts. Millions saw that podcast and got to see our trending page, briefly. That day, the top few posts weren't bad, compared to a few days before when it was just some petty flag war drama. Joe Rogan is a comedian. If those posts were there and they clicked just to see what's happening here, it would have been one joke after another to the point where someone like me who kinda takes the place seriously as a content production platform would have been embarrassed to be here.
One guy who got mixed up with all this was looking at an Etiquette guide that was written 3 years ago?
FFS.. 3 years.., 3 months and a lot changes and it's sad that people need to read one of these to be able to know what to do and not what!
I did some posts months back.. like newbie tips, but they are now out of date. Do you need a guide on how to behave on Facebook, how about Twitter?
One is needed for HERE though! People are so protective of this platform, including me.., it can be laughable.
I remember some of these guides. There used to be handful of guides written daily. A lot of them focused on how to create content, properly. Most of those guides were terrible. I've been breaking all of their rules for over three years. I'm still here, they are not.
There seems to be none now. Perhaps its because so few new people join, yet the ones that do don't know what the fuck to do. It's overwhelming and too complicated for many.
I didn't know anything when I got here. Googled everything I wanted to know, when I needed it. There is a lot of outdated material though. People still arrive after being duped on Youtube to show up here and buy votes...
