RE: steemSTEM on a break
Jesus christ you almost wrote a full post in a comment xD Well said though, i've seen way too many people that don't care about the content they just want the SteemStem upvotes, It's a shame some of the good posts sometimes only get 1 or 2 comment, i don't follow the steemstem curation trail because i would rather read the posts myself, upvote if i find them good and leave a comment, following the curation trail would increase the amount of upvote $ they got, but it wouldn't provide any "comments" to the posts, but this is just my opinion
One of the best initiatives i've seen inside SteemStem is what @simplifylife is doing, ea week he does a contest to give out 5 smartcash to the best commentor, guess what... i'm the only one that shows up so i've won 3 weeks in a row, i already told him that i would understand if he stopped it, winning without any challenge isn't fun at all
Regarding the management team, just like i said yestarday in discord, i'm still amazed at how they were able to work, create content, read thousands of posts and upvote them, it's just to damn much, i'm a college student and i'm already overworking and i think i could never do what @justtryme90 and @lemouth and the rest of te management team is doing! It would probably end up messing with my life outside steemit.
That is completely fine, as I said that I don't expect everyone to do all of these, I just think it would be cool if more people tried these things. Personally I love going and looking at others posts and commenting on them when I have time (recently for steemstem posts it has been explaining that pictures are copyrighted or else improperly cited)
We aren't saying that nobody promotes engagement in the community, there is a good group that does, however there is a larger group in the community that doesn't.
Regarding your statement about the management team, I am part of the curation team and I am amazed that the other curators are able to do as much as they do. I always feel I am dead weight getting carried by them and that I could do more but, as you know, classes take up time. How the management team does what they do is beyond me.
Yes, i've also been telling people that, not only about pictures but about memes and gifs too, i don't think people grasp what copyrighted means...
Classes take up time, studying takes up time, godamn, why wasn't i born rich :P
I know how you feel, though if I was born rich I would still be going to school for a degree simply because its my passion, it would just make it A LOT easier.
I would take a degree, but i wouldn't be here on steemit, i would probably be building my own company, probably in the renewable sources department or health department, and after that i would join up with Elon Musk and get on that space race adventure
Totally agreeing once again. It is sufficient everyone does this or that once in a while. Times 300, 400 steemians, and we are there!
This is the real problem. This is what we want to fix, somehow.
Yeah. I am currently almost sleepless :D
Sleep is a must for a healthy brain, go hibertante @lemouth
Too late for that, I have kids :D
