RE: Steemit Etiquette: Is it RUDE to Leave a Comment but NOT Upvote?
I think you covered the points really well here. To start with, I would mostly only comment for the very reason you stated... I quickly found out that if I voted on everything I wanted to, I would have no voting power!
Then I leased a bit of steem for a while which was nice, because I had the slider and could pretty much vote a little bit on everything.
Now the lease has finished, I haven't got the slider any more and for some reason it now feels very rude to be commenting without upvoting!
But this has just spurred me on to invest a little more into Steemit in the near future. :)
For me, the bottom line has become that it requires a lot of patience to get a Steemit account to go anywhere... and when I come across those who complain a lot, it's usually because they are expecting "overnight riches" and now are upset that they can have a vacation in Maui after two weeks.
I've considered leasing a little Steem Power until our account reaches 500, but until I actually have the time to but into this, it'll have to wait.
In the meantime, it's a cool place to blog, and I'm glad there are other people who are seriously invested in this place!
I agree. Patience, and really thinking about putting in rather than getting out.
Even in my short time here I've come across people who are complaining and trying to game the system. But yes, it sure is a great place to blog. I'm thoroughly enjoying meeting people from all around the world here. :)
I think of this more as a "gift economy" or a place where you "pay it forward" for people. And we each get to curate what we think is "good" content... and ignore (or even flag) what we consider useless content.
Yes, I love this attitude... it's this kind of attitude that I believe can grow Steemit from strength to strength...
Why didn't you lease again? did you think it was worth it? I just did a small lease - no slider yet - and and plan to keep leasing until my regular sp in over 1000 at least. I'm very interested to know how it went for you :)
I've just leased again now actually! The only reason I hadn't was because I just didn't get around to it for a while. It seems to be working really well for me. To be honest, I don't know whether it's worth it in terms of financial investment/gain... however for me it was worth it to get the slider and to be able to vote whenever I like. :)
I'm close! 20 more sp or so :)
Cool!
