RE: Antidote To The Steemit Complain Game - Lessons In Winning From A Five Year Old
Really good article you expressed your perspective so elegantly , but i don't think that these whining bitches deserve that, they need to be called out for what they are until it sinks in.
These mostly grown men stop crying like littles girls and figure out what they need to do to make Steemit work for them.
There was an article yesterday discussing the political ramifications of using the down vote and if it should be use to decrease the pay of articles that many believe is excessive.
This is beyond ridiculous if you don't see the value in an article go about your business it has nothing to do with you.
What a person does with their property is their concern.
If that is what voters decided to support then what gives you the right to take away from them just because you are envious of their success.
There are plenty of things in the world that i don't find to be of interest to me that doesn't give me the right to go in anyone's pocket and take money from them because i feel they don't deserve it.
This is just wrong they act like the money come from a pool that we all have title to.
You can be nice them if if you want, i'm going for there heads
Exactly, it is good to see that many are reacting badly to these people.

The A-level quote is the same kind of nonsense populist media spews.
Comparing a Math Olympiad test with public education makes absolutely no sense.
When exams were more difficult in the 50s-70s there were far greater rates of failure, and expulsion from the education system.
Is this what you want to revert to?
A system in which people are "priced out" of certain industries by not being able to possess certain qualifications, due to single instances of bad performance in stress-based conditions?
I agree that complaining is ineffective.
But it's fuelled by articles such as thi that aim to depict newbies as incompetent for not making money.
"Oh just create more captivating content" - "Earn it!!!"
No. Instead guides should teach them how voting works.
How networking governs voting power, and how 100 votes can equal < $10.
Hence it's about cultivating important connections, or being tied to an enormous botnet.
I hope newbies aren't frustrated and understand that yes, you are playing a game you probably don't know the rules to, and will struggle to win unless you adapt your strategy.
(I wrote a post on how to avoid frustration, I won't link it, because I don't want to spam, but I recommend it).
Your comments suggest you either didn't read or understand the post

Typical, can't rebut anything so claim I misunderstand.
Hint: Education was more selective before. Compare with public school in China you'll see highest performing schools are highly selective (by failing those who lag), and more inclusive schools aren't so brilliant.
And the 11 year old Chinese kid thing was related to Math Olympiads.
There is guides that show how voting works when I was a noob I looked for them
I so agree with this. I've not got anywhere with my articles so far but I've done a ton of reading and I've noticed how many are downvoting for whatever reason. I really find this unfair - if you don't like something then walk on by. Instead of the jealousy, concentrate on being yourself - only better.
What a foolish and naive perspective. With this sort of outlook Steem will barely get past the 1 million users mark.
Clearly the economics of the system need to evolve.
OK, no idea what you're basing your figures on, but you seem to have confidence in them so, well done.

Unnecesarily rude to newbies who are frustrated because they don't understand the dynamics of what it takes to make money on Steemit.
I am not, I am telling newbies if they don't immediately start making money, not to whine and cry about it.

How is that remotely constructive, especially if you expect mass-adoption?
How are these words of comfort that inspire persistence?
How will this prevent people from becoming disillusioned?
It doesn't, but it allows you to project your arrogance on others.
Very disappointed.
