RE: Give Me Your Best Moral Dilemma For A Chance To Earn Some SBD
I am no t here about the contest, sorry for bothering you with another matter rather than the point you had in mind while making this post.
I just spent almost one hour reading how you argued with almost everyone about defending steemit´s integrity and our ethics while participating in a contest. I don´t have to tell the post I am talking about, you know which one is it.
I have to tell you, you just became straight away one of my best buddies here on steemit and I don´t even know you. People like you, mate, is what steemit needs more if we want to keep growing in a healthy way. You just got a new follower, always glad to see a fellow person who stands for his ideals and doesn´t let greed corrupt him, i identify with your train of thought.
If you ever need a Robin to one of your Batman quests hit me up.
Oh, and by the way, that moral dilemma you were talking about? Yeah, you protagonized it last week, glad to see you teach a lesson to one or two peeps out there.
Now you make me feel bad Lol. I can already see that the same thing is happening again, with the same whale helping to cheat, only they're trying to be smarter about it this time. I decided I am not even going to say anything this time because I was so disappointed with the lack of people who were willing to try and rectify the situation.
It's encouraging to hear your words nonetheless, but our like is heavily outnumbered here, and it's just becoming an impossible battle to win. I don't refer to the competition there, but to abuse of the platform by cunts who already have more than enough money as it is. You would think in a rewards-based economy, it would be about rewarding others. But, I think we got the name wrong. This isn't a reward economy. It is simply an economy, like any other, and ultimately, it is powered by greed.
If you are going to call out abuse, then know that it will come at a sacrifice. If you are constantly calling out the most influential people on the platform for their undesirable actions, then you will have far less support, and earn far less money, regardless of how good your content is. So, you should decide before opening your mouth, what is more important to you? Doing what is right, or not pissing off the people who can best impact your wallet positively during your time here. Based on your words, I would guess it is also the former for you. But, I will think no less of you if you opt for the latter. I don't know anyone's financial situations here, and the system, Steemit included, has a way of suppressing people's desires to do better, because they have mouths to feed etc.
Anyway, I'm not sure if you needed that bit of advice or if you were already aware of this, but thought I would give you the heads up just in case. Some times I do wonder if I could have done a hell of a lot better here by keeping my mouth shut. But that's never really been me, so I try not to dwell on it.
Thanks a lot for showing me there is another decent Steemian out there though. I have followed you back and will see what you're about soon.
