RE: Goodbye Steemit! 🤙 Thank You Minnows

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm with you on this. Had you joined before the vote-selling started, good content often got rewarded eventually, so if you did five posts and only one got a decent vote, it was still enough. But now, many of the whales are reserving their voting power for buying customers, and thus the chances of your work getting rewarded just because it is good is significantly lower. There just aren't as much free upvotes to be distributed anymore.

The hilarious thing is that they are still earning the curation rewards that were supposed to incentivize fair voting, for selling their votes.

This place has become quite a joke, but if it is money you are here for then I'd advise you stick around. The price of STEEM and SBD are still so fucking low compared to where they are ultimately going, and so the pennies you are earning right now are already worth dollars if you can hold them. So if it money you are here for, I really would stick around because I guarantee if you leave, you will be back in a few months trying to earn and struggling when if you had stuck around you'd be making plenty.

If you are here to meet great people, then you should stick around. It is getting harder to find them, but I still believe some of the greatest minds on Earth are here, and with them great opportunity for collaborative efforts.

If it is to be heard, then I can understand why you must go. Lengthy posts or anything you have worked hard on has a much higher chance of getting read on a different platform. Most users on this site are primarily authors and so less and less content is actually consumed while everyone is preparing their own posts or living. If you were willing to play the game such as your friend has, then that would certainly boost your viewership, but if you are not, and have no interest in the first two options, money or magnificent minds, then I bid you farewell, dear stranger.

This is a great comment, thank you! Excellent. - No, I gave it a lot of thought, and you (like many others in this comment chain) are 100% right. I'm going to stick it out with the rest of the boys & girls here who see it from my side. I didn't have to be here long to experience and read the thousands of comments of users in the same boat. Many of which are pissed and they have been here from inception - So great advice, great comment. *here comes the upvote: #Bam :)

I'm going to try and organize my thoughts to continue in discord, though if you happen to get on before that feel free to jump in lol. One thing I didn't reiterate there yet was the emphasis I put on Anything from you is worth my upvote, your presence is worth my upvote. This comment for example... :) Though my power is a bit in the shitter right now, hopefully I'll catch your next breath of air with it full xo

Lol. I was writing all day. I will go on discord now.

Is there a specific channel I could join to get in on that? I have discord. Thanks for the comments. cheers!

Hey there... I just so happened to come here to upvote my friend's comment- and saw this.

You can definitely get in on 'this'. It's not a channel, what I was referring to was just our private chat. It's just people who have connected since being here, who want to help each other just because, lol. The way to get in on it is to be out there, making these connections.
And I should mention- there is a group between the minnows and the whales...we are a vastly underrated, overlooked group, the dolphins lol.

Ha ha, right on @Dreemit 🤙 Yeah in my viral post it went to extreme lengths. Plankton to Whales lol - never want anyone to feel left out! Ha ha ... I did make mention of Dolphins 🐬 and everyone else I my latest post, so if you have time feel free to check it out. Thanks for your time, and comment, no matter what status you are, it’s valued. 🙏 🍻

P.S. @dreemit this is a newb question, what does that Rep number by the side of our usernames have to do with anything? What’s the significance and why should I want it higher? Thanks in advance. 👊

im on steemitchat as well...

Dog food for Vito :) xo

@lifeinspired your arguments I also liked you do not give up for leaving you have good arguments and I see a logic in what you say, however the advice of @son-of-satire is the best that I've read.
