RE: We're All Stars and Galaxies Make Up the Universe
O....k then. I haven't been checking out the trending/top posts recently, I just wasn't interested and I didn't have time for the things I wanted to do/look at alone (I did them anyway. And then failed to get anywhere IRL. Oops)
But seriously? This is their mentality? I think it's annoying and very frustrating that a new user has to run around looking for good material, then dropping interesting comments to like-minded people to get anywhere, but it's the way the system is set up. You want to get somewhere, you make those connections. You befriend people who enjoy similar content, and slowly build up your own blog.
And people are hating on this? People are questioning the rewards which come to those who do that work, people who make those connections? Well, I suppose latecomers always try to take down those who have already paved the road.
But seriously people - do the work yourself! Write good posts, find people with similar interests and comment on their posts. If your posts are good enough you may get noticed by curie, or the MSP, or the pifc, or some such group. Enter some contests, try to do something yourself for once in your life.
Sorry Not actually sorry for that rant. I've worked hard enough myself (though not for nearly as long or as hard as those who've already found success, which is why they've found success and I haven't) and I don't like the fact that people are trying to rip down a system which rewards those who put in work because they don't want to do it.
On a completely different note,
No agreement behind the scenes was ever made, things just went the way they did.
Speak for yourself. I have several deals going behind the scenes, mostly about the important things in life, like peanut butter and world domination.
Things just get weird around here from time to time and maybe all of this complaining about who votes for what and when is why those with a lot of stake refuse to use it for curating. Maybe, after all this time, those complaining about how things should be only shot themselves in the foot. Hmmm....
kudos to that. tends to happen IRL, so I'd expect the same is happening in steemit, though I don't know the minds of the whales, so I can't tell you for certain. Unfortunately, despite all of my incredible powers, the ability to read minds of anonymous people at a distance has evaded me.
That, however, is among the least of my problems. Still, it manages to bother me from time to time.
Yes, those agreements must be kept... ;0)
Ooh. I didn't think you would check this out, or comment for that matter. But yeah, you were one of the people I had in mind. Others include Paul, that penderis fellow I told you about, and a few others. The peanut butter/world domination thing is mainly reserved for steemit, though many of my IRL friends know that I have a strange fixation on both.
But back to out plans. I think we should go for omega 37 Y, Triple Boom, nail polish. And then it will be time to release the peanut butter
