Will you vote for me? Yes or No?
When we post aren't we all asking for a vote? Oh, I know some of you just love to write. Some of you have a message to spread. Some of you might be willing to admit the financial aspect of this experiment is at least part of the reason you are here. I admit it.In our culture begging is frowned upon, so sometimes we come up with interesting ways to pretend we are performing a service or providing a product. Straight up asking for a vote, a follow and a resteem is bad. Throwing some meaningless content into post and hoping for votes is acceptable. I don't mean to poke you in the ego, I'm just saying there is a lot already out there to read on the Internet. Our posts are a way of presenting ourselves for the votes... The votes are the way to distribute the Steem. Steem is the asset we are speculating on. It doesn't make very good marketing though.
Come to SteemIt, where we distribute Steem in hopes at some point it will hold great value.
Isn't that exactly what we are doing? Yes or No... Please answer in the comments.*it was just meant to be thought provoking, why are you really here?#madeyouthink
@whatsup,
If STEEMIT as same as FACEBOOK, I will never be here! I won't pay for people like Zuckerberg for my creations! So Yes, I came here to get a small % from the daily STEEM distribution!
Cheers~
Hi @whatsup! We are @steem-ua, a new Steem dApp, computing UserAuthority for all accounts on Steem. We are currently in test modus upvoting quality contributions with a high UA value (UA_author + UA_post)!Your UA_post value is 0.669.
Yep, I post music videos and either you like them or you don't so I have nothing to add except maybe one thing; you made the perfect argument for the use of bots to increase visibility. I dislike having to use resteem bots after spending 2 days on making a video :/
If Steem wants to be some exclusive writers club then they should advertise it as such, one shoe doesn't fit all, everyone's contribution should be welcome to help grow the platform, their rewards will adjust accordingly. Stop sweating the small stuff that some starving person in a third will country will beg for a upvote so they eat today there's much bigger fish doing a lot more wrong then that on here. Also I'd say that everyone should be recognized and rewarded according to their intellectual ability, just because someone may have a learning disability doesn't mean they should get shot down getting it their all.
For me is about the ability to be engaging, not if you used commas correctly
This, it's about engaging, a blockchain that distributes coins based on targeted interaction. It creates a model of stimuli where people want to stay active to earn as much as they can. It generated a no-begging culture for obvious reasons, it's unpleasant, but the purpose doesn't change, only the approach.
I didn't say people have to contribute just a understanding that people who are hungry will do anything to eat. I understand it's not the intended purpose of the platform but I am not going to flag someone for that.
I'm not criticising you. In fact, I'm understanding about that. People need money. I need money. My only income is Steem and I have no shame in saying that my main reason to be here is because I want to eat three times a day and have clothes, whereas if I weren't here, I wouldn't be able to do these things as easily.
But it's not like I'm desperate or that I'm begging. That's what I meant by "a different approach". Steem is not a platform where you earn by begging. It's a platform based on interaction. You earn by being a positive member of the community. Creating content, posting comments, networking. It's like social lego. It's cute and profitable.
So yeah, don't flag people for wanting money. :) Tummies need nutrients.
I don't upvote them, there's way to many for one thing and one has to admit it may be to hard to decipher the one's who are starving starving from those who are just begging. There's been a couple two, three people though I try and always click and upvote because I know they really need the money, not that my vote is much if anything, but it makes me feel better, the difference with them is they really try hard to earn it. I've noticed they have just blossomed on here with their talents, doing much better then myself even but that doesn't keep me from looking at their stuff when I see it.
I think that's a good way to look at it, we each seek out that which interest us, sometimes I like checking out those who are less serious and I know I will get a good laugh, others for how they will inspire, or intellectually stimulate my thoughts. When I first came on here there was a guy who wrote good stuff he just wasn't that great with paragraphs, comma's etc., but if you went slow it was a good read. I don't see him around anymore, I think he gave up. I think that's important when people try, my son had what they said was a unspecified learning disability, you could sit and do his spelling words and he'd have them down pat but by morning he'd forget them all, I use to tell him that it's better to try then not try. That's why if I see someone really trying their hardest at the least I could do is give them some consideration to look at it, if it's good it should be rewarded with something.
Ouch, you poked me in the ego
I just came for the cash
I actually really do love this place
I gave you a vote and a resteem as a sign of agreement.
I mean.
Technically, every post on the platform could just be stripped down to "Please vote for me". That's what it is. And admitting it is okay.
Few do, though.
There is no doubt in my mind that If I wasn’t a part of two great communities that I would be gone already. But @ssg-community and @thealliance are fantastic. Wish that I had more time to read all of the great posts.
I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no problem.
First: I find amazing the idea of being rewarded by the content you create on which someone else find it worthy enough to give you an upvote...
Second: Steem is the best use-case blockchain
Third: it is totally undervalued
Steem on
1, 2, 3, I agree.
I thought this was a crypto dating site... have I been doing it wrong?
I'm not sure... How many dates have you gotten? :)
I think it's better if I leave that question open to speculation... :D
