If I step in to correct any of these people, it's like stepping into a lion's den.
The few times I have ventured into the tending page I have come away with that feeling. It puts me off the place. A place I love, and enjoy interacting in. It's like a separate reality there. So I stay away.
If I've helped you somehow, you know I've helped you, that's good enough for me and I ask for nothing in return.
You've put a smile on my face many times. Amused me, or given me something to ponder upon. And you are beyond generous with your votes. It's not my place to tell you whether to stick around, or not, or whatever you choose to do, but I was glad to see your post here today. And yes I read all the way to the end.
Everyone says, "Don't even look." I like to be informed, so I click...and I come out of there feeling like shit every single time. I have nothing to say about it. Just thinking about it brings me down. It doesn't represent what this place is at all. The reality is pretty damn close to the opposite. There's far more entertainment to be found if people would just look. If people think this place will fail, they heard it on the trending page... then that trickles down. Blah. I like just rambling and being a goof. I know it puts smiles on faces. That's why I do it. What else is there? I don't know... that's why I don't write about it.
I like to be informed too. And occasionally I hear something on the grapevine. Something I was oblivious of, and could have remained happily so. Until I follow up on the rumour, and so and so is fighting with another so and so, and whales are splashing about in the bath tub, like little brats. Or something like that.
Then I return to my little part of the empire, and stick to reading posts from those I like, and writing posts, and commenting. And then I remember this is what Steemit is. Until next drama gestates. I need to remind myself to ignore it.
So yes, lets not bring each other down. If you write it, and I see it, I will read it. And endeavour to let you know. Let's swim against that trending Tide.
