RE: To The Talented New Writers - Don't Write for The Money! - 'The Game' and my Final Advice
Extremely salient analysis!
I don't post for money, I seek the real wealth of good company, and the criticism necessary to gain an ever keener insight.
I don't even think I am writing better, but I am not enjoying it less =p
I believe that your new strategy will be far more rewarding to you than mere lucre. YMMV, but, since I didn't come here for the money, I am not all that disappointed about my personal earnings.
I am, however, concerned about exactly your comment: how the financial manipulation is affecting the community I came for.
Fortunately, Steemit is in beta, and open source, MIT license. There will be forks. Indeed, Calibrae is being undertaken at this moment. Now that the ketchup packet has been stomped on, the ketchup cannot be stuffed back in the packet.
Well said. And I came for the money but I'm staying for the community! they got me! lol
Here's a much better written post of my third world steemit analogy you may get a kick out of.
