Thanks for the post @trevonjb.
A few weeks back I wrote a post about the fact that we need to get off the idea of quality posts. Like you said, it is in the eye of the beholder (or receiver) to begin with.
We are seeing a lot of applications emerging which do not focus upon quality. Instead, @dlike focuses upon what interests people. @share2steem is allowing twitter, Instagram, and youtube posts to also be shared on Steem. Has anyone looked at most of that content?
What people also do not realize is that it takes time to get a following. Even though you bought in, that did not get you thousands of followers or placed on people's autovote. That takes time, effort, and consistent posting.
You hit the nail on the head it appears. People are envious of others and have to tear them down. We see a lot of that on here.
People would be a lot more successful if they just focused upon their own accounts and growing that. Those who do tend to see their accounts grow month after month which, I presume, is the goal for many.
Keep powering up...I believe it will pay of nicely for people.
It was after reading that post that I followed you @taskmaster4450. What I have been surprised by is how "tone deff" many of the larger stake holders are and the size of the soup boxes that they stand on that are in my OP completely wrong. Which flies in the face of mass adoption.
For example: I originally got flagged by @patrice at Steem Cleaners for copy pasting my free give away title, while giving away free upvotes. The real reason was some "employyee" (with an account value around 5 SP) of steem cleaners was jealous that my post value was $100+ USD per post and complained .... jealousy. Steem cleaners is still bombing many accounts for stupid reasons.
Until this type of attitude is addressed mass adoption will be hard. Which comes back to the "shit post" mentality that these trolls are using to justify there actions and ruin steem for as many other people as they can. Why @ned and @steemit have let this go on for so long is beyond me.
Yea it took a lot of effort to get to where I can be effortless
