Dear friends , I am really concern about what is going on steemit . More and more people join and the atmosphere get really bad around !
First the spam raise really high . All started with 10 ...... welcome bots begging for follow. ........
Next step was begging for follow and upvote on every post and spam comments like GOOD JOB !
Angry MINNOWS joined steem and start the war for survive !
The new thing is HOW I PAY MY BILLS and please sponsor this !
You for real guys ?
This is a blog platform money are benefit. If you join in order to make living from it you need to invest. Money and time .
You come some days ago spam your shit post and try to make hundreds of dollars from it? You even did guide how to having no idea about how Steem even work . Post like how to be sucssesfull in Steem , beginers minnow guides , how to make your shit post sexy ....... or every stupid idea you get about crypto ?
You are to lazy to read or comment on people work but still YOU demand upvote ? You hate to be minnow ? Than work for it nothing come easy in life !
Next is the now TOKEN CREATION thing ...........
There is many so useless projects in steemit going on , be carful or you will get scammed ...... Every one try to sell every stupid idea with no value ....... dont fall for this !
All the point wit power , self votes , and fork 19 become really corrupted. People buy sell votes and try to join every circle jerk here !
You want to be blogger ...............than blog !

Great post and I fully agree. Blog if you want to blog...
What I would say is the numbers are important for the growth of Steemit. Let me share with you something I learned from a different platform.
I was working on a platform in 2013 and was a early adaptor, but I didn't really like what the platform owners were allowing to happen when it came to the quality of members. So I stopped working on the platform, but very much kept an eye on what was going on.
What I didn't realize was that this platform needed the numbers for social proof, and once they had that they could raise the bar on quality. When they had 10 million members everything changed. They could now be picky on quality over quantity.
You see with this sort of social proof 'hay we have 10 million members' is much easier to entice quality content creators that 'hay look at us we have 250K members'
The platform I was working on understood this, at the time I did not....
Now looking back, although the platform was flooded with 'crap', it was the good quality early adapters that came out on top......i am disappointed that I missed out. I did hop back in around 2015 and I am doing very well, but had I of stuck with it, I would be doing even better.
Steemit wants to grow, but are content creators interested in a platform of 250K people...lets face it, if they have monatized their content else where then a platform with 250K people is not that attractive propitiation. however when you tell them they can reach 2 maybe 3 million people with their content on steemit, then it will be attractive
So for the moment we need to put up with the 'crap' and do our best to produce good if not fantastic content, the crap will be weeded out in time, and we my dear @patelincho will rise to the top
That is an amazing view of the topic and it actually makes sense. Once the platform starts rolling out numbers the quality becomes better.
Thank you for sharing your insight and previous experience. For the people on steemit for the long haul, this will be quite advantageous.

Wow thank you very very much about comment , i know you are very well educated on blogging and things like this . This some really good info you put here . People are always try to compare to the people on trending page . They come and they demand on start the respect this people builded in last 1 year ! This just cannot woork . .... People need to lower there expectations for get rich fast and focus on better bloging and reading !
:-)
Thank you. This is very reassuring to read. If it was an article I would Resteem it,.
you are most welcome
My dear, you are so right.First of all, thank you for such a post and I loved the choice of photos in this post - they are so adorable%)) As per the post itself, I am relatively new myself here (just a bit over a month) but even I noticed that some people just do not care about good content and it is all began to be a money race for them. I fully support your vision that the people's thinking MUST be changed. The same time I do know it takes time - I am affraid majority of people got used to the way of living that what they want is to have A LOT of money doing nothing, so they come with the same attitude here. You personally and Whaleshares discord do a lot to explain the newcomers the proper rules and support them, I guess one day it will kick off the point there the mass will change%)) Changes always starts with small things and also take time! So please do not be deflated and keep doing a great job!

The right way to change the world is to start from ourself ! The things can be changed if more people work for it !
100% right! and I belive that only if everyone will start with him/herself it is the ONLY way to change the world!Hope more people will understand it%))
We need to look ourselfs first !
Good post, I am working on a bot to downvote spam comments, by working on I mean learning to program with that as my goal. If interested you can find my post on my blogs page.
As for shit post spam, I don't have a problem with that, they likely make nothing from it and just hurt there rating.
I really hate to do this, and I know it makes me a bad person, but as you made the mistake twice I need to point it out, you wrote than instead of then. Ahhhhh when did I become that guy that corrects people, I hate myself
I think the mental must be changed on steemit . The people thinking must be changed ....
how you want to do that? you can not control the mass. Like @fiveboringgames said i think a bot to downvote spam posts is a good thing.
But if the mass come we aint seeing nothing yet. the mass is not a good writer nor blogger nor are they a astronaut with moon stories.
expect the worst and hope for the best
peace
If this masses come with the right atittude all will be fine :)
Good point hopefully by the time that happens we will have more filter options, or more specialised topics
Hai there @patelincho ..i really like what you write..
I stumble upon steemit by accident actually..at first,i really dont know what im doing and what steemit was...took me a while to figure it out..and to be honest...i never read others article or post ...i just upvoted and resteem hope to have some pay out..haha...funny..
Im not much a writer,bloger actually and even writing this comment take me quite a time..cause if i write in my language...no body will understand..
But now..i always take time to read their post..and hopefully i gain something valueable along the way..and make improvement..
P/S 38 minute for this comment...haha
Tell me about , my english is bad ........! Thak you for the efort you did on this !
Thank you too to you also
I think you guys are awesome for writing in English @patelincho . I really appreciate it. My Dutch husband speaks English to me and I haven't learned much Dutch (although I can talk to our doggies in it). So here's a THANK YOU from someone who just happened to be born in the UK and is embarrassed by her lack of linguistic ability and sometimes a little ashamed to see others have to struggle and learn it (makes you guys much cleverer, tho).
Asking for upvotes and follow is not a practice it is a total waste of time. Only good content will be helpful to grow in steemit.
Sadly is not the case now .....
you are so nice @patelincho
you helped me in discord group! whenever i need you!
you are a great support for the minnows like me!
Thankyou ma'am for such kind of great support!
You are very wellcome :)
I think that is fair. I have been a freelance writer for about 11 years now professionally. I am working on building Steem content but even for someone that does this for a living, I understand it can take time. Bitching never gets us anywhere. Positive is not always possible, but we can certainly try :) Thank you for the reminders. If you want something, you gotta go get it! I have loved that I have been inspired to do art, to write for myself and to explore the different avenues on Steem so far. It's nice having the ability to write and not have to have someone tell me. That can also be the downside too! It's all about getting a rythm. I am loving this platform so far. I can't wait to grow with it! <3
You will , if you but need patience with it :) Good lucky anjoy the freedom !
Thank god for the flag tool. I've been using it lately, it actually solves all the problems you mentioned.
I am so far on mute ....... but maybe flag will do better job !
thanks,, nice info
Thanks for visit !
I tend to be friendly with my posts and with interacting with people here in steemit. Yes I am new here, but I gotta agree with you. I hope people start getting their act together and treat steemit as an avenue to get and contribute real genuine articles, thoughts and world changing ideas, not just pictures on how good their butts look :(
Steem is not get gich fast thing ..... how people do not see this ?
I think its when their friends invite them for the money instead of creating good content
yea seems so :)
