RE: A Friendly Reminder to All Those Struggling or Just Starting Out
I am mostly amazed by the huge number of people here who seem to have come to Steemit because they heard "you can get rewarded for creating content" (fact!) but interpreted "I'm OWED the equivalent of a full-time income for posting a couple of shitty video clips!"
And then they end up all butthurt because that doesn't happen.
But that doesn't happen anywhere.
Social media is work, people! Mostly I get sick of hearing the eternal "yeah but we're on the BLOCKCHAIN here!" like it's some sort of magic pill panacea that renders all other laws of the universe null and void.
My little non-profit organization has 6700 followers on twitter. It took six years to build that. We didn't just show up one day and shout "Gee, we're SPECIAL!" and expect instant fame and riches.
Blessings to all!
Some folks have been on Facebook for ten years and can't even get a like on the selfie where they're standing in front of the new Honda they bought.
