RE: Don't be jealous of a Whale's success, they were Minnows too once.
Was just sort of saying the same thing on my post. I feel the whales have been swimming together for a while, theyre friends. I think its normal for them to vote for each other cos lets face it. They were here swimming the waters before we even got a whiff theres a new pond out.
That said I cant complain and be jealous because I've been recipient of a dolphin/whale vote and youre right they dont even comment. They just drop dollars on you randomly like dolphin/whale angels. They inspire me and I want to be able to do that for someone one day.
So I suppose people can either get jealous or be inspired.
Personally, I think being inspired will take us further than jealousy ever could.
Want a vote from a whale? Hit up old mate rando :D Feels just as good even though you paid for it lol
Hopefully we'll be in that position one day and I won't feel bad upvoting another whale. If I never get there that's ok it's about enjoying what you do here. If you are so focused on cash you become bitter about the payouts others get you should go elsewhere, IMHO.
Thanks for reading and commenting
Ohh we will be, I'm sure of it :)
I have had a couple few shows of love @bearone and yes it is very encouraging. I do prefer they are not random and more for your content...which really goes without saying...but I said it anyway. ~smiles~ I guess for me is having a small chat in the comments section of someone else's blog with a dolphin, a whale that has awarded you some SP to help push you along. That to me is more encouraging than the actually upvote. imo
Haven't even used MSP $upvote...let alone rando. My writing is still not ready for "the minors" yet...let alone "the show" I'll just keep leap'n a dive'n around in my feed and other's feeds...so many wonderful little tributaries to the Steemit ocean. ~smiles~ just a little back water guppy...I
grin well I dont discriminate. I'll take anything. Comment upvote follow - it's all stepping stones to where I want to be. All of it is encouragement to me. Even the rando and minnow bot :D
I used to think about wether people are ready for my content, then I thought isnt that for them to decide? After that I just write whatever I feel like. If it gets votes it gets votes, if it doesn't thats ok I didnt write it for the money. I wrote it for me.
Yeah...step'n stones...good way to look at it. For now I'm not in for the money, that will come eventually so it's all about the experience atm...someone said I need to find my "tribe"...hahaha...first I heard I even had one. :)
