RE: I JUST FOLLOWED YOU NOW SUPPORT ME AND FOLLOW ME BACK!!!!!!.....Not.
As a "minnow", I am under the impression this is the direct result of the transitional phase from other social media platforms and the preconceived notions of proper etiquette where it was a race to see who could get the most votes(followers) for high school prom king/queen. Not that I am justifying or advocating their actions and I am not making excuses for anyone, myself included. This isn't like any other social media platform and once people have a clear understanding of that I believe is when ALL the magic will happen.
Starting off new in Steemit is like hitchhiking on the autobahn. Chances are nobody is going to slow down, so you have to just jump the hood of the next car and hang on for dear life until you are able to make it to the passenger seat. From there, hopefully the driver is kind enough to let you watch how they shift through the gears and actually drive in a safe manner where you aren't causing a pileup in your rear view mirror.
As a community, this is like a huge dance. The music has started and everyone is finding their rhythm. Some are able to find the beat, while others have two left feet. The important thing is that we all have fun and try not to step on anyone's toes. With that being said, it is time for me to Stop, Drop and Lock it...thank you for your patience and understanding.
This gave me the greatest mental image ever. haha Your comment is well thought out, and I totally agree, the transition from normal social media plays a huge part in the spammy comments. I have faith that one day, this platform will be the best social media site ever!
Yeah, I am a visual person, but I can't draw or paint. I am happy that I was able to find the right words to add a moving picture in your head. Hopefully it involved pastel colors and a cool soundtrack.
As a community, we are in the middle of a huge transition period a paradigm shift of monumental scale.
The soundtrack was badass - Straight out of a Bruce Willis movie.
I agree!
SWEET!!! Time to get the adrenaline pumping...
word to that brother ;)
Shades are on, top is down, radio is blasting and now it's time to work these gears like Tommy Lee slaps the drums.
It is a strange and new dynamic compared to Google+. I have 11K followers over there, but Google censors content. The site is dead because of it too. There's no point in engaging with people to further liberty or share your passions anymore.
I came to Steemit to share my knowledge about residential security and perhaps a little about private investigation (I don't want to share too much to avoid getting people into legal or other trouble). It is weird to me though that there isn't even a category here for residentialsecurity.
Most people here have homes, right? Sure, they may live in an apartment, but it still benefits from good security. The only security category here though is for crypto and other IT security.
I've wasted 20 years of my life running on an IT hamster wheel (job). I'm not doing it anymore. I'm going to be a PI and help people with residential security. I'm here to pursue those passions and share them with others.
Hopefully, Steemians see value in what I have to share.
Very interesting! You would definitely be the first person talking about these things here, so that could work to your benefit!
I am puzzled as to why there are no other security people here. There seems to be no private investigators or locksmiths or anyone related to security services. Am I missing something? It seems like valuable content to share that people would be interested in, right? Everyone has a house. Everyone could benefit from better personal security too.
You would think so!
@finnian - I would love to hear about home security or PI stuff - Just a suggestion but maybe tell some stories of real life experiences from your PI work - (no real names obviously) but I always wanted to be on a stakeout like in those cheesy 80's movies where they are eating pizza in a car with binoculars and never end up seeing anything cool - hopefully you have tho and your niche could be in storytelling the PI lifestyle - Real talk - I know this post is old but maybe you'll read your replies ya digg?
Youm sir, win at engagement, @sirwin
This community is the definition of a melting pot and an ability for like minded individuals to met and also get the opportunity to be exposed to something they may have never heard of before. Up until last week, I had never heard of Steemit and look at me now, I feel like I am one of it's biggest advocates.
Yup. Friends give me a hard time because crypto and Steemit is what I talk to much :D
There is nothing wrong with being passionate about something. Having a strong convection and knowing that in your heart of hearts that no matter what the "nay says" may say, that you are on the right path. It is the bold risk takers that are rewarded the greatest. We are kindred souls here and that is fantastic.
Good chanse to follow :)
