Joined for the Rewards - Stayed for the Fun!
Fun or just Rewards - this is The Question!
Are you here for earning fiat, crypto, reputation, self-affirmation or why did you join? Think most of us came to Steemit as there was a promise out there that you can earn these things that make your life easier. Someone telling youth are on Steemit as of the good feeling and to be social - IS a liar! Kick his ass or balls!
The community here contains of a lot different mindsets and people. As much as I would like to meet and get to know everyone - it is not possible. The day has 24 hours only - your voting power is draining after certain amount of voting and you can not post, comment and engage via the other apps on this awesome platform more than 24 hours - DO YOU AGREE?
What Are my Learnings?
Well - in a nutshell: A pot of totally different people coming along for the community aspect! Sometimes flags are flying, sometimes naughty comments and interactions take place! At least 90% of the interaction is positive - I also count in the people that only comment a "nice saying" because they hope you give them a vote in return - but That is life, this is a MIRROR of our society.
I do think this is not a bad sign or situation! Arguments, fights and different views have to be expressed on such a platform. I am not speaking about fair distribution of the reward pool as an excuse for flags - this is important though - and this is why flags can be good!
I speak about all the discussions we are angry about sometimes - we feel why is here a flagging war, why does this whale never vote me ,wh do these whales jerk around in Circles lol?
Why can radical people say and do not get kicked out? All these talks and discussion we might take personally and think we are attacked or this model on crypto or blockchain sill shit is bad.
NOOO - THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD!
Here is why! Because it shows - THE COMMUNITY is ALIVE. If there would be no discussion anymore - no matter how toxic it is - the platform would be DED (dead in proper English). But we all discuss everyday - on the platform, on steemit.chat, on Discord Channels! Means - we are on a good way - Steem to the MOON SOON.
Thanks for reading - HOWEVER - I only wanted to play my early Wednesday House Song - which I might postpone actually.
There are many reasons to be here on Steemit and one of them is @uwelang!
damn come one - stop that, flushing red!
Come for the money, stay for the community!
Klar, ich genieße auch den monetären Reward den das ganze aktuell abwirft - aber ich genieße es auch JEDEN Tage neue Dinge zu lernen und irgendwie auch neue Menschen (virtuell) kennen zu lernen. Das erste Meetup war auch super - man trifft Menschen, denen man sonst nie begegnet wäre.
Insgesamt einfach sehr schön hier aktuell :)
Ein fantastischer Kommentar - hätte ich dir gar nicht zugetraut Herr Doktor :-)! War Spass..... Danke Meister, find es gut wie Du hier die Community aufrollst - manchmal bist Du mir einfach zu schnell, komme gar nicht mehr mit, liegt am Alter - mein Hirn funzt nicht mehr so wie bei Euch JungSteemians!
Ich nehme das mal als Kompliment ;)
Darfst Du :-)
I joined to learn more about cryptocurrencies, then I started mining Ethereum, then I realized that I could make a little steem for blogging and commenting ... now, I'm here for the community.
There's something here for everyone.
i came for the rewards but in my first week i realized it was so much fun and the community was so great that the rewards where the last thing i cared!
Same here - my first weeks / months were a disaster reward wise. I had to learn a lot
Ich denke, auf Dauer ist es wichtig, dass die Kommunikation zwischen den Usern stimmt. Klar, keiner beschwert sich darüber, dass man Geld für Votes erhält. Doch auf Dauer ist das wohl keine Motivation regelmäßig zu posten, da man nunmal nie wissen kann was für eine Reichweite man mit dem eigenen Artikel haben wird.
Völlig richtig, wie im leben. Beziehungen müssen aufgebaut und gepflegt werden.
Der Hauptgrund warum ich hier bin ist eigentlich, weil ich die Beiträge für informativer finde als die auf FB. Auf FB wird nur noch Scheiße gepostet und abgesehn von den events is es auch ded für mich.
Dazu habe ich mir zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Leute aufzuklären und zwar nicht nur auf dieser Plattform hier für mich ist sie nur ein Teil wo ich meine Message verbreiten kann.
Guter Grund, manchmal muss man die Perlen nur suchen, da die nicht unbedingt immer im Trending auftauchen. Leute aufklären ist spitze
Rewards are certainly a positive but they're just that, a reward, something to earn.
I've a long history of failed blogging and I like the fact Steemit allows me to share 'stuff' with random people (and friends) and in return I get an endless flow of 'stuff' to search. At the same time I get to do this without having to manage a blog.
I joined Steemit because I wanted to learn and understand better the world of cryptocurrency and I also wanted to have a blog! i really enjoy this community and created some friendships here and reward system is awesome, so STEEEMIT TO THE MOON! Cheers @uwelang
Thanks for this posting...
