RE: Who Are You, Newbie to Steemit?
Nothing bores me more than a "performance" that sticks to predetermined questions, nothing is as meaningless as the "Achievement1" posts. We've had this discussion many times before and I don't want to fuel it again.
The problem is: "Money? What do I have to do? Ah, an Achievement post (that's what I've been told)!" Copy, "write", run...
In the "old days", you had to look around for quite a while before you even dared to write an introduction. And then? Then it was (usually) good and individual! In many cases, these posts actually aroused the curiosity of other users. And you were already involved in some form of "social interaction". Not always: bad introductions, boring introductions were ignored even back then. But then the writer had an idea why. Today, nobody says it anymore, no, the crap is demanded.
Don't get me wrong: there are still interesting introductions from newbies who make the effort to understand the steem before they introduce themselves or meet the right people and the right communities. These newbies have significantly more chances. And above all, their contributions are read... ;-)
But, yes, you have to look for them.
One night the other day (while on guard duty in the paddock), I checked the #steemexclusive posts from a good six hours ago. There were 2 - two - individual articles (so no SEC, no vote report, no SR report, no contest, no achievement, no dolphin or orca, no summaries...). That says it all! What interested newbie (without a dollar sign in their eyes) is supposed to find this interesting? The "attractiveness" of this platform says: "Join in. Exactly this way."
Well, I read 250 Achievements 1 and among them came 5-6 that really interested me. Personally, I believe that there is little benefit from verifying these Achievements. There are many ways scammers can trick greeters, right down to buying other people's photos.
It also feels like a lot of newbies come to work and write Achievement 1 somewhere in the cards department.
I understand that. To be honest, I have never read these Achievements. But now that I've looked at quite a few of these posts, some of them piqued my interest. I have found new authors who may have potential. I became their follower and will see if I was right.
I do this every fourth day when it's my turn to curate. I see the same picture. And I don't like these horrible headlines: SEC17 WK:#3, The Diary Game 24/04/2024, Steem Cameroon Best day Contest - 25/04/2024, Betterlife || The Diarygame... I imagine how they scare away outside readers.
In general, curation has become a very difficult task for me. I hardly ever support posts written for the SEC. Not because I don't like the contest. Not at all. But I very rarely find interesting ones among these posts. The format of citing a question and then answering it destroys the post and turns it into some sort of application or report.
I am really surprised by the fact that people do not have the desire to simply share some interesting information, maybe their own hobby, some information on a topic that interests them, to discuss certain events. Why is it necessary to continuously participate in contests? (the answer is known)
My saying since 3 years (or even more...). Last time I opened posts titled like that was, when I joined our great curator team... :-(
Right. And it's also known by the organizers. They does not seem to mind. Most Steemians don't either. Some leave (does anybody notice while busy following the "easy way of illusion"?), some just don't want to waste their energy against windmills (and lemmings) anymore.
LOL... 👇

Hm, you'd have to narrow down what exactly you didn't understand about the slightly longer phrase. Then perhaps I could help you. The addressee seems to have understood what I mean.
By the way, you're no longer a newbie to me (almost a year - please...). However, you belong to the "new generation" of Steemians, for whom all the challenge nonsense (those are no challenges, those are school tasks...) and the favour of the "holy" Steemit team are part of everyday life, quite normal. The new generation doesn't know Steem any differently.
The whole text that I quoted with quotation marks at the beginning and at the end. By it, I mean that I didn't understand. For you, the newcomers might be ignorant and not particularly pleasant, yet I don't think I belong to the group of people who post all sorts of blatantly stupid things at any cost. I don't like some things in the community, and generally, I rarely participate in the 'competitions' that have insane requirements! Besides, in the end, we are all free to like or dislike certain things. Democracy)))
Excuse me? Who said so???
Why are you trying to justify yourself? I didn't attack you, did I? All I said was that after almost a year you're no longer a newcomer.
Okay, my quote "positively" summarised: the largest proportion of articles on the Steem consists of contributions on demand. You have to look for individual posts that stand out, they are very rare.
Just like attractive introductory posts (5 or 6 out of 250 said Oleh).
It seems like newcomers aren't quite to your taste, and there's probably a reason why they're not within your perimeter. It's not directly stated, but there's a sense of not particularly liking them in the air. I'm sure you have your reasons for that. From my side, everything is fine. I consider myself a newcomer compared to your experience, and I know it could be much better, but there are still things in the community that aren't entirely clear to me. Going by gut feeling)))
It's a pity that I leave such an impression on you. It's almost ridiculous. Well, I don't have any programmes running at the moment that you could stalk. And as I have very little time to spend on Steem and any explanations anyway, I'm afraid I have to leave your impression as it is.
I still wanted to let you know briefly. Just for the
Chriddi as I said from my side everything is fine! Kisses))) 😘
