Ahh Jealousy doth not become the Steemian

We all see great post ideas, we upvote them as we know they will succeed and we can gain.

Then as we get more savvy with the Steemit platform, we enroll bots to upvote the steady performers in case we are travelling away from our computers.

But then the turn...

We post our little hearts out and even get 100+ votes... but gain only a few Steem... ARG!

So we look at that consistency in other posts in a different way, we become jealous... envious, critical.

And it begins

We start talking them down, saying this and that just ain't fair, why should they get all those votes. How can my spectacular subject painstakingly written with hours of writing, formatting and based on 40 years of experience or research????

Suck-it-up-buttercup

Look at the Sports or posts most often maligned...

Now really look!

They have:

  • so much work behind each post
  • they offer information that people want and maybe need
  • they bring people to the platform
  • they have consistency

So there you have it

As people become of feel depressed or suppressed, they feel like their life is passing out from them, they feel like they were hung out to dry or die, they begin to verbally attack others with Lips of Green
