RE: Dtube Confessions: Why is Morale So Low on Steemit?
People start realizing that their expectations were too high when they joined.
Making money on Steemit is easy. That doesn't mean it is for free.

I had no expectations except a level playing field. It does not exist. Greetings!
I don't know what that means.
You mean that it would be fair?
Yes. When Dtube gives a no effort, no sound, no intro, no outro, 90 second video a $210 up vote, there is no way we can compete with that. DTube clearly shows a bias for certain types of content, and that is bad form for any platform that wants to attract content creators. People that spend a day or more shooting and editing a video are going to run, not walk, away from this platform. Also some whales with a temper tantrum hijacking someone's account and extorting them to get their account of the bots will destroy Steemit if left unchallenged.
Agree with that.
He should employ some people to do the voting for him, would be dangerous for his account tho.
Steemit is a huge circle-jerk and it pisses me off as well.
One of the bigger trolls has a reputation of (-xx), but his bot network allows him to continue no matter what. He auto flags certain accounts with about 14 bots and uses the same bots to up vote his own posts and comments.
It can be entertaining to read, but my advice is to not get involved in any way shape or form if having an income is a primary objective. Schöne grüße!

It is quite dangerous here to get involved into drama as you lose money.
You have something like thieves here, they do not grab your money out of your pocket but they can prevent you from getting more (or anything in some cases).
Well, I mean, the ad to get people here says "make money on Steemit." So it isn't exactly shocking that people feel misled when they realize all of the intricacies that go along with that. And you are right, making money on Steemit is incredibly easy if you have hundreds of thousands to invest. Though the same could be said about YouTube. It is easy now to buy votes and views and non-organically "build" a following. I wish the platforms weren't set up that way, but wishing doesn't get you anywhere, and I am poor as fuck, so all I can do is create the best content that I can and hope for the freaking best.
I invested 0 cash into Steemit and I can live from Steemit after 4 months only.
Just curious, about how many hours are you putting in weekly?
3 hours per day for Steemit, so around 21 hours per week.
Wow you must have an incredibly fast computer to upload videos in that amount of time. Sometimes it takes me 1-2 hours just to upload my vids. So between filming, editing, and uploading, I can usually count on at least 4 hours a day, which doesn't leave much room for commenting which is how I understand a lot more money can be made.
If it is a creative video, which I hope to make more of because Dtube is greatly lacking much artsy creativity, I easily spend 10-12 hours on a video between filming and editing. Of course those videos aren't totally necessary, but I imagine that future visitors are going to want to see more than just a bunch of faces talking into their camera about how great Steemit and crypto are.
Money doesn't mean so much to me on here, if it did, I would have left a while ago. I am sad that so many people are dropping off though.
A new computer will be a good investment for you.
Regarding money: People all know how to make more cash, but they never think about needing less cash.
Needing less puts you more in touch with basic human living. More Nature, more physical work, it is good for your mind, spirit and body.
True progress nowadays would be what I have described above.
All this technological and scientific advance has made people lazy, stupid and in many cases even mentally and socially retarded.
Yeah, I'm not sure a new computer is going to change dtube's lagginess, but thanks.
I agree that less is more. I grew up poor, I am still poor. I have always had to figure out how to make do on very little. It does make you more resourceful. Yet, having 3 children to take care of makes finances more difficult. Your life is filled with more joy than you could ever imagine, but more expenses than you could ever dream. This is not to mention the absolute dumpster fire that is the American healthcare system. Before my husband switched jobs, we were paying close to half of our wages toward our medical insurance, which wasn't even entirely comprehensive.
So living out in the wilderness sounds wonderful, unless you have 3 kids and pressing medical problems like myself. Some things just cost money, and a lot of it.
Agreed, solar panels, a house outside with property, farming and all that stuff costs a fuckton.
Only after you bought it you can start saving.
