RE: Don't Be A Pole Dancing Sloth
Additionally any support you receive for free is a positive return on investment. Plus you get the whole community, earn some rewards convert to stish. I cant see how free is bad but maybe you are right we should do away with free because people cant see how free support is an automatic positive gain no matter how small or large the gain is. You somehow are seriously complaining about free support of your steemit posts. Lol this just cracks me up. We support people they support us as they grow we will grow. Think about it. It sometimes right now is only a few cents per post per day but for many that is more than they get all week on posts. I want to see it build to dollars for quality writers. You can help. We run it all and you can help. Help me and other build a whale pool. Commit 10 or 20 SBD from posts. Sell on blocktrades for ETH and buy some stuff from https://steemthat.com... We fund the whale pool accounts, everyone get more support on their posts all year long. It has a much better ROI than a a one shot post promoted. You got to think outside of the box and plan long term.
You're misunderstanding me on this point. Did steemthat offer me anything beyond free support for my steemit posts when I decided to join? Well, it offered me support on steemit posts AND it offered me another platform where I could publish my content to another group of people and be rewarded there as well. These things together influenced my decision to apply, and I feel no different on that now.
The point is I willfully applied for membership on steemthat based completely on adding some free support in exchange for my posting quality articles, stories, photos, etc. What I wrote isn't a complaint so much as it's my surprise at the seeming abrupt 180 turn on what the site is about, whether that's due to me not understanding the plan, or being surprised by it.
I write most of the day, everyday. I do research for a lot of the stuff I write. It's required to do so if you want to write something that's factual. It all takes time. I wrote what I did about value because willfully spending more time each day writing just one more article, adds to the value of time spent creating. And that simply must be included as a factor in the calculation of value.
