RE: Running on STEEM Podcast Episode#019 - Are People on STEEMIT Fake?
I've always thought that people are generally fake on Steemit just because they don't wanna lose support or so that they can get more upvotes. When i first joined, I kinda mentioned that Reddit is like a platform where ppl show their true colours because they're mostly anonymous and Steemit is where everyone's suddenly nice (with the exception of a few). Of course it's a good thing to make it an incentive to be nice, but i got what you meant, that people are overdoing it.
I used to comment so much every day when i first started, but now i just reserve commenting when i actually feel like commenting.
But yeah, i've also met people who can be amazing friends on this platform (people i wouldn't have known otherwise). (edited)
If you need to know more on dmania you can always ask me. It's all algorithm, and if you fulfil certain conditions, you have a good chance of getting a vote from the bot.
Great comment, bro. Best one I got all month haha!
Yeah, reddit comments are sometimes even more informative and helpful than the actual original post itself. On Steemit you do get those kinds of reddit type comments once in awhile but it's usually some general/generic comment.
I understand that when you first start out on steemit, the main goal is to make money. And after a few painfully crappy payouts, you start to realize that you have to get the attention of those that matter in a way. But if the whole "reward for good behaviour" thing works out and it makes steemit a generally peaceful and happy place, then I guess it works. What a uniquely weird ecosystem we have in steemit.
Well now.....I feel honoured :D
Thanks, man. Really appreciate that. Was actually thinking of trying my hand at dmania :)
Hope to see you soon at the next makan meet up or something!
Yeah to earn a decent payout here pretty much requires one to "find the source of payouts" rather than just churn out good content. And everyone joined to make money (despite funny claims that they're only here for the community). How else would you tolerate the user experience of blockchain-based sites? It's like going back in time and using MySpace.
Yeah you can DM me on the dmania thing and we'll probably meet some day since there are so many gatherings these days..
Couldn't have said it better myself.
You're meme game is tight. That's a good one.
