RE: Steemit Is Not Just Your Personal Piggy Bank
Well, have my humble 100% upvote. Have a re-steem.
I sincerely hope the people who need to read this actually read this! Sadly, they probably won't, because reading isn't a shortcut... it takes time, and effort and stuff like that.
Steemit — in spite of all its warts and spammers and other bits — is an awesome place! Imagine this: I actually get a few dollars for writing, which I really enjoy. And I get a lot more than Google AdSense pays on my "conventional" blog... IN spite of the fact that I sometimes pull 2,000 views per post, over "there."
People miss the point. This is NOT a glorified cash dispenser. People miss the point. A few hotshots talking about the "hundreds of dollars" they have made on Steemit every post is about as "true" a statement as saying "You can win $1,000,000 in the lottery!"
Absolutely, you can.
'Nuff said.
Yes!! or win the Readers Digest lottery.....I wonder if that exists anymore or I'm showing my age?? @old-guy-photos might know??
I'd like to know whose telling people that Steemit is a get rich quick scheme.
I remember the Publishers Clearing House ads on TV with Ed McMahon from the Tonight Show. He would knock on the door and have a huge check, funny thing is though , he never knocked on my door lol.
Oooh! The famous envelope from Ed McMahon! I remember those well... it was right up there on my list of favorite things, along with the Columbia House Record Club and six trillion AOL diskettes offering some kind of discounted rate... back when Internet was "pay by the hour."
Oh yeah that's right! I sure remember the Columbia House Record Club! Thanks for the memories!
Me tooooo....I'd be so excited when the envelope came to the house....little did I know it was a scam :)
