RE: Don't Compare Your Steemit Wallet With Others - Create! The Open Books Issue And Why Healthy Businesses Are Rarely Fair

in #growth7 years ago

Oh, you do not need to tell this to me :) I know it all too well :)

We are talking about scaling issues of the platform to go it mainstream. Not what people "need to understand" as they never will :)

And i know it too well than to share content of a whale saying it's shitty. I was not born yesterday and i am not an advocate of fairness in place where i have no say at all :)

I just wanted to point out, after reading your article where you said that people want equality. And i am saying that this is not the inequality that irritates them the most, not that somebody earns more or less. But when they see obviously effortless scrabbled worthless stuff trending over and over again with hundreds of dollars in earnings.

I am bringing this just for a discussion. My reason on Steemit is not earnings. I am earning other places, i'm here for a discussion, learning and observation of this amazing social experiment that would cost me tens of thousand of dollars to carry out by myself.

And i always appreciate differences in opinions, i find it fascinating from a psychological standpoint how people manage to believe and defend completely opposite beliefs with such an effort and even acting irrationally and putting themselves in a harms way. In sake of what? :)))

Well I wasn't talking about scaling issues. Also scalability is a completely different issue that is in hands of the platform's developers. Not sure if you followed the fireside chat with Ned Scott during Steemfest. He explained very well which are the main challenges with regards to onboarding.

You say that you don't share people's position who compare themselves with highly paid content, but then you write:

But when they see obviously effortless scrabbled worthless stuff trending over and over again with hundreds of dollars in earnings.

LOL! This is exactly why I wrote my article. Effortless and worthless? Who says that? How could you know that it was effortless? Were you sitting close to the authors when they prepared their articles? Do you even know that 90% of the users that are constantly trending have built applications and other projects on the blockchain?

Statements like these are exactly the reason why I wrote this article.

Again, I wasn't talking about scalabitily since this is something we actually don't have any influence in. I was talking about mindset and perspective.

Yes, it's fascinating in many different ways.
