My 1st Year on Steemit !!! Reflecting Back then and now is it worth to continue ....
Well this is the day i never dreamt of because to be honest i gave up at first as it seems like this platform was only for professionals and back in those days a year ago there was quality everywhere but gladly i was free and have nothing to do so gave a another try and the result is this day.
One Awesome year on Steemit!!!
That's a pretty big deal a life changing year 365 days full of joy,sadness and many up's and down's such a roller coaster of a ride this has been for me.
Thanks to all the community members who has been there for the support even one interaction sometime help so much and gives me so much positivity.
So big thanks to you all :) from the heart <3 (^_^)
Now come to the some important things if you are interested you can read this as i have never written long post in my life but seems like today is the day and i need to...
If you are on steemit for quite a long time lets say for a year now you have seen many drastic changes happening over time but one thing i want to ask the community members have you seen this platform like this before where Reputation has no meaning at all and everything could be buy with money.
A year ago i remembered to go up a level higher in **Reputation **that was everything to many steemians and there was a healthy competition of keep writing great quality content on steemit as this is what it is all about the platform which gives you freedom to speak your heart out.
But now with the passage of time with everyone is building their own bid bots and go in trending i never went to the trending page because i don't deserve it at all and i know my limitation because i am not a good content writer but i have a hobby of keep writing so i post everyday and so far over the year i gave myself a challenge to keep writing daily and been successful in that.
Now its a turning point in life whether to keep continue or not because with no activeness and keep bidding for your own post to move in trending page no one cares about your content i feel this is going to be a drastic end i don't wanted to ever say that but after seeing so many people going away from this platform even money can't buy things this has been proved today.
The politics which keeps going around some people its ok as it may be sometime some sort of issue on the quality of content or topic or clashes of thoughts but totally it ruined the platform you are seeing its result somewhat and more you will see in the future.
In 2017 last year to move in the top page of trending there was help from whales who own the majority of the shares in steem power which help the Top quality content creators but now if you have money you can do it with simple click by bidding the communication just ended your voice is worth nothing and so is my and your content too.... many people join in with a hope i too it went in all good but seeing it from today's point of view things completely changed and shattered.
Still remember those days when steemit for the first time got ranked into the top 1000 websites in the world and everyone each and every member tried their best that enthusiasm is no more only power is ...
Coming up for two years myself, I agree rep can easily be raised using bots and trending has always been utter crap, but content and comments do matter, and I know you work hard at this.
Well thanks a lot this means a lot :D you have always entertained a lot with your witty and creative style :)
Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉
Thank you so much @melip
Great to have you hear for the year, and may many more to come too!
Thanks a ton always enjoyed watching your work over this year period :D
Congratulations on your 1 year birthday here on Steemit!! :) :)
Thanks so much : )
You are very welcome!
congratulations!
Firstly congrats to you! And don't apologise, everyone is unique in their own way, and the honesty of this post is quality in its own right.
It seems those with a will and the desire, can and usually do bend good things to their own bidding especially if power and money is involved. Its a sad way of life, and like you I can't stand it.
But the few dollars made here do help, and my commitment is to keep trying to do what this platform was supposed to be for.
All the best to you, and hopefully a few more years from yourself.
First of all big thanks to you for motivating me this means a lot i will keep trying my level best :)
Happy Anniversary
I warmly congratulate you as a significant Steemit community member. I have in the future you have a vital role in Steemit.
yes, it's really sad, no one cares about quality. Keep going.
Hey @blazing. Congratulation!!
Best of luck..
