Burnout
I'm seeing a lot of people stressing over their writer's blocks, so I'd like to offer some advice: relax. This is bleeding edge beta, and I expect it will take a while to stabilize. Don't burn yourself out now racking your brain for things to say. Just be natural and post when you think of something you think should be said.
Settle into Steem for the long haul, not to get rich quick, and we'll all be better off for it.
Yeah. That's a problem with people. When they see something that is quick-rewarding, they immediately want to take advantage of it and achieve overnight success. People need to chill! Steem isn't going anywhere for a long long time!
Please relax indeed! Take some time and create 1 or 2 quality posts a day instead of 10 mediocre ones. I would love for the ability to see a stream of users content that I follow instead of weeding through 25 or so posts to find a thoughtful or educational post. That is advice more people need to take. Instead offer a valuable comment instead of trying so hard for that viral post.
I agree. Lower your expectations to stay sane and then you'll be surprised when some success does happen. Also remember Facebook and Reddit never paid anyone a cent for content so at least here it is a possibility.
