RE: WANT TO EARN SBD? Get Paid To Interact With This Blog
Loving your posts @son-of-satire. Saw them in my feed resteemed by @tonyr and just followed you. I try not to follow too many people as the feed becomes too overwhelming to keep up with and frankly, I have better shit to do. Tell it like it is brother. I wrote about Steemit's originality in my second ever blog post from just a few weeks back (as I am just a wee minnow). I jumped over here because I want to inspire and empower people and Facebook was killing me with its drivel. But I am beginning to think Steemit wants to be the next Facebook when I see what is trending and making money. It seems like being a whale ensures you just keep making money whether it is "earned" or not. A lot of people are just posting content here they posted somewhere else first ("Internet celebrities" whose names I shall not utter). Others with SP post a stock photo and a few paragraphs about cryptocurrency or the blockchain and make tons of money. I was skeptical of social media anyway. Would really just love to meet some of you cool Steemians in person. F#*k people who are only in it for the money. Their empty lives will haunt them on their deathbed, because unless I am mistaken, you can't take it with you anyway. The only thing that is real is who we are. Full stop. Give your Steem to people who really need it: find some worthy minnows or cash in some Steem and start a cool community project. Much ❤️!
Pretty much my sentiments to be fair. I like the idea of succeeding together, because I don't think some people doing great and more people doing shite amounts to success in my book. Especially not when a lot of the most original content is coming from those who are making pennies.
I keep hearing the word wee today. Are you from Scotland?
No, from the US, haha. Just like the word. Yes, success to me is when everyone does well. If Steemit cannot keep getting people on the platform to create and curate content, won't it ultimately fail and Steem go into the crapper? Then how will the Whales fare then? Just wondering because I have been noticing a lot of discontent on here. I did not expect to get rich, but I think a lot of people would like to feel like their work was valued in some way (and that for most people is not money but reader engagement and appreciation). People just want to be heard.
