RE: :: TIPS :: How to Keep Steemit HUMAN ::
I loved the sentence: steemit is what we make of it.
It is we who will drive it towards either success or destruction.
The thing is, all those bidding bots, auto upvotes don't analyze the content. And they are enjoying the profits from steemit itself by lowering the value of content.
If we do the manual voting, it is true that we will make fewer profits, but whatever we upvote will be in our hands, not others.
This way, we can reward the content we actually want to reward.
I have about 1400 sp, if I delegate it to someone, I can earn 7 steem or more a week. But by manual upvoting, I am earning less than 1 sp a week.
Still, it feels good to reward the people who make a good comment on my post or write a worthy post.
Hope people will understand and only reward the quality and valuable content on this platform for its long and bright future.
I'm totally with you. Steemit will only survive, when we take a long term view and act accordingly. Maximising profits is always a short term view, and usually doesn't build a good foundation for long term survival. That said: Steemit could be driven to a bot network driving bot gaming and be able to survive in that way, however, this will not do any good to the value of Steem imho.
EDIT: You have a great Profile description!
Thanks. I see steemit as the most helpful platform to grow our interests.
I will prefer growing in my niche, money is always secondary to me here.
I don't know why people don't understand it, if their sole purpose is money, learn cryptos and trade.
It can give more profits than anything else.
But if there is no growth and happiness in what you do, you will fail someday.
When I started on steemit, I could not write a single post, but today, I can write about anything anytime, maybe not a good writer still, but I will improve with time.
SOOOOO TRUE; with trading and even investing in cryptos one can make soooo much more money than trying to get some rewards to your posts!
Absolutely!
That is THE way to go, not only at Steemit, but in life! Passion and Drive will result (in the end) in recognition and rewards. The later are the results, and shall never be the drivers, since as a person we will get burned out quickly.
Exactly.
