RE: The Human Factor - thoughts on strategic approach by a minor Steemit lover
Great post, agree 100%. It's funny how coming in at a "bad" time on steemit might actually foster a more healthy relationship with the platform. With hindsight it may sound ridiculous when I say that when I joined the platform it seemed like I was too late to the party, the gold rush seemed over. So I just used the platform because I was fascinated with the technology and liked the community. I definitely think that once the awards did start coming it helped me keep a more level head than I otherwise might have.
It's all about perspective I guess, but I do believe that easy profit tends to unreasonably boost feelings of self righteousness and ego, thus corrupting us rather than incentivizing us to improve. After all money doesn't bring happiness, but a lot of money maybe does and for that one has to have long term vision and ability to expand socially.
