RE: What?!?!
Thats fair i can see why youd say that but the responses i get from these linds of questions helps me to better understand how this all works and come together. To be frank we are all attracted to this site for a reason other then an outlet for our feelings. Everyone on here has a motivation. And mine is yes making a little extra money but also to understand what is so attractive about this setup in the first plce. Out of the many people im following i can say none of them come from any kind of similarity as me and thats what i like most. My facebook is personal and everyone on it i see in person on a day to day basis. All my friends and followers here come from all walks of life on every continent and none of them have i ever met in person so when i get a response from these people i truly get to experience every side of the answers and questions and its refreshing. Id be a member even with out the obvious rewards. I dont think paranoia was the right word to use there. I dont think anyone on here is looking to quit their day job to post on steemit all day but i think most would agree that we all want to take advantage of it as most as we can after all thats why its here
It's easy to think that other people are similar to you, or have similar motivations. If you could truly see the motivations of others, I bet some would surprise you. Me as an example, I'm destroying specifically any desire for results here and am using it as a platform to develop sincerity and conquer my lust for results.
The paranoia comment is mostly because of the vibe of the post. There seemed to be a suggestion of a conspiracy for Steem to flow into the hands of certain people who aren't putting in the work, but are somehow being more successful than people who put their hearts into it. I may have misread you on that though.
