RE: You're nice can I have your number
I think a lot of the decline is there seem to be several classes of people on steem, just as there is in any community. The bankers, those that hold the vote bots and want a return on the steem. The bloggers those that think they have a lot of real important shit to share with people just like the mainstream media. The artist, who want and want for making a pile of crap and calling it art and believe it should be liked and upvoted by every tom dick and harry, and lets not leave sally out of the mix. Then the my way of life is the right way of life vegans,macro eaters air breathers, and all the rest of the eaters are eating the wrong shit. Then their are those that are the happy joggers and do not understand how people like me can sit back in their lazy-boy recline and not upvote that amazing I walked 100 miles on my actifit post. Lets not leave out the people standing on the corner waving and twirling their silly little cardboard banners saying come shop at my place and get a fat discount while we screw you with inflated prices. Oh and lets not forget the other corner people - the world is doomed be alarmed, believe in my science guy, your science guy is wrong.......the different types of people with so few real active accounts makes one wonder sometimes...is steem blockchain a microcosm of any real village, town, city, megalopolis, or does it just reside in the mind of the insane like myself.
Well, that's just people. They do whatever requires the least effort or they do it because they are passionate, however misguided, about their topics.
Oh I do agree, I was just trying to point out how many different types are here, and in the real world, not such different places. So I'll play devils advocate since I still feel like typing.
Passionate does not always equate to misguided. Musicians are passionate, artist are passionate, lovers are passionate. I myself do not think passionate people are not generally misguided.
Somewhere along the time line I think people have forgotten what passion and passionate are. A strong belief in something does not make a person a passionate person. Musicians, artist, and lovers do not go around bullying others to see things their way, to make people be like them. To force their lifestyle on others. Anyone that tries to force or coerce their belief on someone is the extreme opposite of what a passionate person is.
