RE: Steemit Openmic: Maybe.. Not so "Open?"
@luzcypher is one of the most helpful and respected members of the Steemit Community. The Open Mic contest is the longest running and most beloved contest on Steemit.
Luz and the judges work incredibly hard each week to help ALL Steemit musicians with this contest.
Do you realize how many entries they get each week?
Do you realize how many entries are from people trying to scam the system by stealing other people's work?
Mistakes happen.
Miscommunications happen.
No one is out to screw you over.
I run the Steemit Musicians Open Mic radio show on Msp-waves radio. I know for a fact that it isn't only Venezuelan musicians who win or place in the top 5. That's a ridiculous accusation.
You've only been here since January so perhaps try doing a bit of research before posturing with baseless claims.
I just made a Minnow University post today that explains the benefits of Steemit Contests that can help you understand the Steemit Community a bit better.
The key word here is Community.
You'll find that is a common theme here on Steemit.
Our community is all about helping each other.
As a relatively new user, Steemit Contests can help you by meeting people, making friends, and networking. Those are the things that will actually help you succeed on Steemit.
The least concern should be the actual prize.
Exactly @isaria. I tried to explain in an earlier post of his that the competition is not the main thrust of Open Mic and it is more about community but he doesn't seem to respond to comments like this or even to comments I have left him praising his music.
Oh well, not everyone understands what Steemit is all about.
First of bruh, I disagree with you!!!! I am black from Africa and if Lucifer was racist, I won't have been a winner twice on this show most of all, on my first try, in fact i am most certain, 75 % of the artiste here always forget to follow the rules out of sheer rush or anxiety to participate but guess what bro he still let us participate ,this goes to show that open mic really is about the music not bout the rules and color or race of the artist, well at the end of the day there's always freedom of speech, but if he's apologized to you what do you want ? I have learnt in my career over time that arrogance and outright challenge in this industry takes your art no where trust me!!! And your post reeks of arrogance! Take a chill pill on it.
Look up the definition of Racism, PLEASE. C'mon, people..... Jesus Christ in Heaven.
