What is a “shit post”?
Yesterday I made a post saying that I had powered up 262 Steem to get me over the 110k mark. Moments later, while UPVOTING my commenters spreading rewards using stake that I BOUGHT, I seen a reply to a comment of a comment left by someone asking me to follow him. Here is the comment:
Being curious of how my content was considered “shit”, I had to ask what a “shit post” was. Of course I already knew what a shit post was. It’s an opinion, that’s what it is. And I knew he would answer with his opinion.
To completely respond I would’ve said “it actually took me about 2 minutes to create that post not including the time it took me to power up the Steem. It did take effort. I had to pull out my phone, go to my wallet, screenshot, go to the partiko app, type the words, and upload the photo. Also not to mention the effort it takes going through my comments and distributing rewards. And to say that me posting about how much steem power I have doesn’t provide value I have to disagree with also. I probably motivated a lot of people to buy steem power to reach their own goals which in turn brings value to the blockchain. Valuable content is in the eye of the receiver (I just made that up) . Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean someone else won’t. Why don’t you just say how you really feel which is that you wish you had this much steem power so you could earn rewards without putting in a lot of effort.” But I just said:
If you have a problem with the amount of rewards someone is getting then it says more about you. Whenever I’ve been mad about how much someone earned for a post it was always my envy and jealousy inside, that’s how I know that’s what this is. Don’t be mad just put yourself in position. I could’ve kept my bitcoin but I wanted to be a steem whale. Now I get to reap the “rewards” and spread them to my followers. Thank you to @bigdizzle91 for giving me this valuable content to post this morning.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. One person's shit post is another person's bread and butter. We can't all be super creative and exciting. At least Trevon is spreading the wealth around.
I love the formula. You made my day !
Exactly!

Lol, so hilarious, I wonder why some people envy those that do well, why won't I reward myself when I have my steempower, why do I need to spend hours making a post! When I actually invested my money, fuck the haters...power up and stop complaining about what others do with their blog and money
This is a message that gets to be spread I think. Power up or shut up.

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

If you've got over $90k invested in Steem, I sure as hell hope you at least make fucking $13 for a "shit post."
Lol!

I shitpost each time I power up 200 Steem 😂
I wonder whether the "quality vs rewards" discussion will ever stop on this platform (probably not). Rewards depend on votes, votes don't depend on quality.
However, it's obvious that Steemians, especially the ones with a lot of money bound in Steem, should have a natural interest in providing good content, therefore attracting more (new) users and activity and thereby helping raise the price of Steem. And their stake.
I had read your other post and also found it rather helpful, despite the "little effort" you've probably put in, because it shows that whales still buy Steem because they see it as a good investment. Even if that reduces other people's potential rewards by a tiny little bit ;-)

Congratulations on reaching 110k Steempower I’m on my way to reach 1.5K and I’m pretty happy with every Steem I have so far

The quality police are a self appointed group of self righteous steemians that let you know when your post and rewards ratio is not to their liking. They have no power, aside from their own steempower, which is usually pretty low. The best way to combat the quality police is to tell them to "shut up and buy some steempower." LOL
This is why I love the term “stake”. If you have no stake in a property, you have no say.

I completely agree with that however I do think big dogs on Steemit need to realize that if they abuse the system and the platform goes to shit, those people who aren't powerful on here but whome make up 90% of Steemians may decide fuck this platform I'm done with it and that hurts the platform, it hurts the price, it hurts the community, it hurts adoption and in turn that's going to hurt the whales as well so I think it's in everyone's best interest to try to make this a fun and interesting place to be and to help grow adoption and encourage others on the platform.
Hahahaha I enjoyed the response you have to the guy "shut up and buy some steem power". Some people on here don't just know how to mind their business. Its good thatbu also too the time to explain how tidious it was for u to power up, make the post, upload the picture and even go through ur comment section and besides, you upvoted the post with stakes you bought with ur own money so whats the guys problem?
Yea maybe after this post steem will make more sense to him

"Shut up and buy some steem power."
Haha. I love that.
Also, stop comparing yourself to others. It's one of the most important things when it comes to happiness. Compare yourself with who you were yesterday.
Why would you be upset if someone makes 100$ in a post? If anything that should motivate you because you know that it is possible. So fight and work harder and maybe one day you will be in his shoes.
To take it one step further, compare your account to where it was yesterday (or last week/month).
This is exactly what I was trying to point out. Fall in love with Steem Power and good things will come sooner or later. Power up!!!
