RE: Earn It (original song/poem)
Thank you, all I had to go on were his words "payouts declined" and the poem's cadance and lyric. However, I have been wondering about the strike line for a while now as I see it from time to time.
You can blame me for the rhymes :D
haha, this whole situation brought me to your shores of Words and I am every glad for it.
Rock on and good to meet you. :)
Happy to make your acquaintance too!
BTW, I see you mostly resteem content. A curator of poetry? :)
Actually, I post about twice a week, writing and art. I am a working artist. For months I posted poems daily from my book Solitarius Isle that is unpublished due to some internal reasons.
I really love to curate stuff I find of interest and help other people out as much as possible.
One formatting complaint I have is that my work gets lost in the fray of others on my page.
Yes, that's why I won't resteem more than twice in a row, and no more often than between 2 posts on each direction :<
This platform has a lot of issues with how it's working, but it makes sense to somehow limit it, or people would just resteem/upvote everyone just to gain visibility at no real cost. Which is already happening, of course ;-)
I have been rather vocal about many things I see here, from the "vote me and I vote you" crap to the people only resteeming, I could go on.
I am not a "networker" and never have been, but I am a prolific artist in real life and just focus on the quality of my work and let the rest fall into place, which seems to be slow as I do not network (it feels so fake to me). For months I would watch people come here and presto they have a higher rep score, lots of monies, upvotes, whilst I stand by totally perplexed at how that can happen when I was posting daily, all my photos, my words, my videos, my podcast, all my work, never a couple lines and a free image kind of situation.
It's actually Moe that has helped me a lot with my wallet and buying into steem, powering up and all that stuff I was just not too concerned with until this last month.
I have been thinking about not re-steeming as much. I almost always re-steem art and writing contest knowing that I may not have the time to participate, yet, I want the word to get out... you know, stuff like that, good deeds to help the community.
Yup, I resteemed a 300 word fiction contest I might not enter to help people.
I hear you. I've got a "patron" of sorts, otherwise I'm not sure how much I would bother with this site. I do plan to write a long piece analyzing Steemit as a Game/System soon.
BTW, Moe is also on the server I invited you to. That's the sort of networking I like - talking to quality people, and if I upvote them, it's because I like their content, not because I feel obligated to. They certainly don't feel obligated to upvote my content, which is how things should be!
I'm just too experienced at gaming social network sites. I left quite a few because the game was everything, and like you, it's not where I derive my pleasure. Sometimes I do a bit of it because I judge a little can go a long way, but not gaming just to be gaming it, but because it also helps others and the system.
I do not see the invite.
I try not to resteem for the same reason, but if the peice is reallygood, I will do it every now and then.
I really want to share others efforts, especially those that I have a nice relatioship with. ugh
