Steem is a game ๐ฏ
After a week or so on steem the whole thing feels a bit like gambling. The highest score wins ๐ Nah, not really.. but there's a lot of motivation due to financial stats ๐ต ๐ฐ
Waiting for you posts to get upvote for upvote and seeing the dollar value next to it rising ๐ ๐
Isn't that a great feeling if you reach a couple of dollars as a newb ๐ here, or even thousand as a whale ๐ณ (thanks to self voting)
Sometimes even minnows get a lucky punch.. ๐
But its totally uncontrollable in my mind ๐น You never know whats gonna happen โ There are just too many factors which influence the success of a post, same for comments.. for newbies its pure luck most of the time. I've seen many spending hours on thousand of words of useful stuff but getting nearly no attention ๐ But if you made it upwards the SP ladder and gather enough followers you made it ๐ฉ
Thats the risk you have with any kind of game but in here lies the fun I guess ๐ at least for me.. ๐
Keep playing ๐ฎ

your do have your point. Those who are already quite successful even made videos of teaching how to get more followers, upvote and that sort of stuff. But as a newbie, just like u said, luck is part of the factor! because no matter how good ur content is, if SOME HOW, ppl just skip it ( which means, you have no luck ) you'll still won't get noticed. then, maybe u post a video of a cat slept and farted, suddenly it gone viral. So, where's the standard here? seriously, just like u said, couldn't agree more, keep playing :D
you are absolutley right!

STOPI'm only two weeks old here and exactly how I feel, enjoyed this post and loving this new 'game'!
I am a newbie. Yes, it is kind of a game. It's a little sad. I just want to get paid for the quality of my work. But it doesn't really work that way. :(
And or internet hobo begging.... Spare some ups? Lol
You inspired me.
Life has always been a game, what makes it a game are the challenges it will eventually throw at you, and you have to dodge a few as well as catch a few to progress, sometimes you'll miss a catch or a dodge and lose. But then you get back into it (the repeating process), and do it all over again and again until the game is #Complete. From there #Ascension becomes the new game we will play for all eternity.
