Thanks for resteeming. I really don't like trumpeting my 'accomplishments' or whatever, but goodness, this silly, sour and shallow "you're not doing it right" just really got on my nerves! ☺
You are a big reason I actually decided to stay in this community. Before connecting with you, the platform seemed dry, cold and not genuine. As you can see I stayed and met some really cool people but I was close to not even coming back.
I had no idea all that you have done. You really don't need to answer to anyone.
I don't know anything as a newbie but I would think exposing what exactly goes on here would be more beneficial in the long run. As opposed to shoving everything under the rug. Future investors and genuine new steemians can see through the "everything is perfect over here" fodder. Uh oh....they pissed off overkill....
: )

I'm really impressed by that. It's crazy how one post a day and some comments can make the difference to keep a new user around!

I think I know what you mean, on one end, there are the steem celebs, on the other, the steem dregs... Authenticity is a rare gem ☺

How long were you here before you decided to commit to staying?
I had no idea all that you have done. You really don't need to answer to anyone.
There are cases to be silent or stand up... I just don't think someone should repeatedly snipe others without being answered in clear terms...

Yep - it's helpful to hear all the problems - but to know (for the most part) it's worth it...
I joined Steemit after researching Steem as a coin I could invest in. Loved the premise and after lurking a bit....signed up.
I will say, as a new user the layout of this platform is rather confusing. The trending and hot tabs are the first things people click as a new user and what you find is pretty disheartening.
I found very quickly that the individuals that hang out there are “hero’s” that don’t even respect or value communication with their “followers”. Just like society...,you had your kingpins, gangs of thieves who feed off the system, tons of homeless begging and spamming for a handout and of course hardworking, talented and frustrated groups of people who are struggling to get by but enjoy what they do. You have helpers and saviors, celebrity newcomers and even a dark NSFW alley way. I didn’t expect all this and was turned off at first. I felt bad for the truly talented. Such a grind I could tell.
I was only on for a few days before I found your post. I have no idea how. I believe by hitting the new tab because that’s how I would find interesting stuff. So it was pretty much luck. Lol.
You actually responded. And around the same time....a few nice people were receptive and I got hooked. : )
I can absolutely agree with your comment, my experience with Steemit was very similar at the beginning.
I signed up in August 2017, looking for an alternative to facebook and of course was inspired by the idea to have found a network where the users are a bit paid for their content and images.
Ok, I looked around at Steemit, did some postings, commented on some posts, but got absolutely no response except a few arrogant answers.
I somehow had the feeling of having landed in an art cult or sect.
The top of the pyramid is a closed circle where normal members will never get access, I speak from personal experience, I was (or am still, passive) member of a so-called secret society. I sometimes have this impression of the closeness of this circle on Steemit.
I must say that at the time I did not have the time to get involved with Steemit and to look for all the necessary things that are important to Steemit, as I do now.
Back in August, I have very fast stopped posting. Fortunately, now I have more time to deal with all these things.
Nevertheless, this first impression did not leave me, here are some heavyweight members where not even a detailed commentary on their postings answer and that is sometimes frustrating, as well as to get attention for own postings.
Luckily, I sometimes, though rarely, meet people like @overkillcoin here on Steemit
who give me the feeling here are also normal people at home.
Anyway, I'll keep trying my best here on Steemit, we'll see. But the other networks do not sleep, soon there will be more opportunities for people to be rewarded for their own content.
I also hope the makers of Steemit recognize this and will take the right steps to keep the members.
Nice to meet you @tinylayla have a good day
I felt like I should reply to this, it's a major comment!
That's great that you found this place independently, I signed up because of an invite.
Yes, it's just such a swarm of overwhelming info, a chaotic mess. People seem to have to find content they like by digging or stumbling onto it.

Whoa! This is deep. You should turn this profound comments into actual posts! What are you waiting for!
I see you've been following some of the people I'm following as well, that's great. I try to keep my follow list trimmed up.
Hey, @overkillcoin! I'm new in steemit but, i really like this post. I think that people who hates for no reason deserves posts like this. Im also very impressed with your account, I hope someday to make my account that succesful. Peace!
Hello @kelvisalbarran - and welcome - I hope you like your time here. My guess is that no social media site is perfect, but a lot of the people who have persevered here are starting to see some good benefits. It's worth trying out!
The way I see it, is people should be smart enough to know that (in some situations) their opinion is not needed, and to stop being pushy and pesty :) !!!
Wow what the rude person! I guess they have to be everywhere to mind other people's business.
You have 2000 followers, that means this many people knows and loves what you do and who you are.
Of course that include me! No matter what happens I will support you my friend 😊 can I call you my steemit friend? I hope you do not mind.... you are the closest friend I have on steemit💕
can I call you my steemit friend? I hope you do not mind.... you are the closest friend I have on steemit💕
Yes, this is fine, friend ☺
I'm not the only one who looks at your blog and your comments and thinks you deserve more followers! Sometimes discord chat or steemit chat are okay places to make connections. Although, probably takes time and patience like everything does...
I think social media is for resting from the troubles of the day and speaking what's on your mind! Not being boxed-up ☺
Does anyone logically expect a crazy artist to act professional on social media all the time? It just can't work that way ☺
And - sorry if I've fallen behind on comments, just really busy...
Genuineness is to a large part a rare breed, even here on Steemit, the person nagging you is merely someone throwing pebbles at a "giant" like yourself.
Lions don't lose sleep to the opinion of sheep.
Don't think I've stumbled across your page before but if you happen to be into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case, keep being real and spread the good vibes brother 🤟🏼
Hey @overkillcoin. I can't exactly remember how I came across your profile but I'm very glad I did. You are a very unique blogger here. Seems like you truly stand up against anyone who's trying to fill Steem with trash. Like you mentioned here and I've also witnessed it, you've taken a truly inspiring step to motivate minnows and inspire everyone to give to the community. I think because of how genuine you are, you keep your followers around. Every person, especially if they're successful, will have haters that want to bring you down or try to hurt you. This just means you're great at what you do.
I haven't been too active these last few weeks due to heavy load at school but I wanted to stop by and get some @overkillcoin 's blunt humor dose 😂
Thank you for the sincere support @cabernet. Sounds like you've been very busy at school, though, thanks for deciding to stop in ☺
I really hope I inspire more free delegations! If SP becomes a little more accessible for new or struggling bloggers, it will more than just encourage them, I think it will improve Steemit's image... Investors would feel more comfortable putting their money on Steem if it's a little more evenly distributed.
As far as the hater(s), it's just incredible how some hone in on a small issue and make it THE issue. I do rant and rave, but with purpose and with a heart.
You tell them! I'm about to resteem this! :0

Gotta run - have a great day!
That is bullying! Not cool. I feel for you.
I'll just keep making funny rants about it and PROFIT ☺ ☺ ☺
Step One: make funny rant
Step two: ???
Step three: PROFIT!
There's no need to think of "Step 2", the community will do it for you.
Haha good point, community for the win!
Step two: Wing it??
I was just going for an underpants gnomes joke. ;)
Oh okay - I'm not up on South Park, that's why!

AUTHENTICITY?
YES
BEING DAMN REAL?
YES
FUNNY?
YES
Stuff anyone who wants you to act different, not be yourself...
you know how great I think you are so no need to stroke your ego anymore! ;)
Hahaha... Someone finally understands me!
I'm just glad for that. I don't like talking about myself much. It's just tiring to be screeched at for shallow reasons.
The whole core of my social media existence is being real with y'alls.
Wow what the rude person! I guess they have to be everywhere to mind other people's business.

Thanks @williamwest - are you new here?
And... that's a great quote... ☺
Been here only a little bit over a month so yes I would still say I'm quite new to the space 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

Wait so I get to flag someone for you. Just point me in the right direction :P.
Try not to let the trolls drag you down.
Hopefully by now this person realizes that pestering me is a useless endeavor... Keep your flags for the spammies haha... ☺
Look @overkillcoin you've got your own sort-of virtual bodyguards!!
hehehe
I hope I won't need them though! ☺
Wow. Thank you for doing such kindness on minnows. Hope more whales will be like you.
I hope so, I think the more generous the whales become, the more investors you'll see here. Just a thought. ☺
