RE: HOW TO COMMIT "STEEMICIDE" (suicide on steemit) - AND... HOW NOT TO, IF YOU PREFER TO AVOID IT
From what I can tell, there are very few new people committing steemicide.
The steemicide is coming from established people who have gotten used to the whale bots upvoting everything they wrote, suddenly loosing that support (because the whales have updated their lists, removed some authors and are upvoting other newer authors). Cue a world of pain from the writer who used to get a lot of $$$$s! They think that the new writers getting support are a great scam, or they turn on the whales and complain about their power (but of course never said a peep when they were beneficiaries of that power!)
I suppose when you have something and lose it, it is always more painful than when you have never had anything at all.
Good point, that was in my mind, but I forgot about it.
NO WHALE LOVE can be hard to enjoy once you've become used to it.
Again, the entitled mentality comes into play.
Rather than being glad that they got some great payouts before, they rant ans rave that they aren't getting more.
Truly, to get some great payouts and to have them stop is better than never getting any, but they are entitled and miss that I guess.
Those folks are a little harder to drop, but, if they are not wise, it can happen.
Excellent point and thanks for the reply!
