RE: Time to quit Steemit
Its a total joke as far as Im concerned. Not worth my time and effort, I like the idea of Steemit but getting flagged so I dont earn more than 2$ on a post is ridiculous. Ive done too much for Steemit to get this treatment. I wish you all well.
I had the same issue when this started and I came to the conclusion that I needed to write to heal myself. It's the best way I have to explore my subconscious mind. I didn't start writing for money, maybe just take a breather and figure out if the way your feeling is about the money or the way it feels to deal with people not considerate of your perspective. There is going to be a lot of them in our lives. Regardless I hope you continue to heal and be well.
thanks @clayboyn. I wish It didnt have to be this way but Im too frustrated with these stupid flagging situations. Who knows maybe I change my mind and come back one day . But for now Im telling all my friends to power down and withdraw what they invested the whales can decide whats best for Steemit like they always have.
I understand that. I was actually powering down over it too. I know most therapist recommend using journaling for our mental health. I just know from some of your post that we have been in similar situations and I really wish someone had been there to tell me that regardless of whether or not it's on steemit or the wall in your bedroom, keep writing.
A lot of those flags to other users have indirectly resulted in your posts gaining more rewards.
I see you are also busy powering down your account. Can u honestly say that there is nothing strange going on with steemit?
Yeah I'm powering down for a week to support a project I'm building for the platform and to cover some other expanses.
Did you forget I was the first to send you some funds to help you out when you were in need? Afterwards I followed your childs account to vote his posts up too. Without knowing you one bit or having any ulterior motives - so please trust me when I say the experiment is for the greater good.
But sure, go further on the offensive instead.
I have not forgotten about all the great people on Steemit including yourself, I am not on the offensive and it makes the fact that I really loved Steemit all the more dificult to have to say goodbye.
Okay than, if an experiment that is supposed to make 95% of the users votes more value-able is the reason you want to leave, I don't know what else to say to that...
It makes my work I put in here feel even more gone to waste when users like you just give up because of something that is supposed to make users like you have more weight behind your votes.
The reason I responded so negatively is cause you decided to check out that I am powering down and use that as fuel for your argument which made me even more disappointed in your actions.
If people feel this entitled about posting rewards and cry when some are cut because of an experiment that is there for the greater good, I don't know what else to say than good riddance.
My thoughts of the experiment is that its about time it happened - users who have invested or earned a lot of SP have been leeching off the daily distribution pool for months now resulting in the price decline, although many of them are free to do as they want - many choose to create multiple accounts to vote themselves to more rewards while dragging down the whole platform.
Had it not started your votes would have been dust compared to what they are now (or before the hardfork) and the price would probably be laying around 5-10 cents instead.
