RE: 'Is Steemit Becoming a Welfare State'- Addressing the Heart of the Issue EDITED (Including an original song by my amazing brother that poses a question-a challenge-to us all)
We're ready for a change. There is a very big difference in cultures, it's not the same for a dollar that someone lives in a country where the salary is fifty dollars.
The lobby group (the same nation, the same level on Steemit) is supported, it is difficult to reach the top. Someone does not know English, there are many obstacles on the road to success. But we must try to do our best - great posts and even better comments.
That's very true. But for me the money is not my main reason for being here. When I first joined steemit, steem was worth around fifteen cents and stayed that way for many months, went much lower at one point too. I did the same kind of posting then as I do now because I just loved that I had somewhere to put my words where people would read them. And I had many many posts that made nothing. Maybe a few cents but that didn't matter, I just loved meeting people from all over the world and making so many great connections and friendships. Like you now :)
I guess it depends on what a person's definition of success is, right? Of course now that steem went up and has the potential to go up much further I can't say that I don't want to see that happen. That I don't care at all about the money. But I feel that even if it were to bomb in price it has already been a success for me, truly.
It's you, but 95% of other people are here for money - facebook is for love
Really? Do you believe that about facebook? I have not had that experience there. I don't meet anyone very far outside of my own social circle and while yes, people do get hurt here on steemit sometimes, nothing compared to what I see on facebook all of the time. Especially when the elections were going on. For months and months, all of my family and friends seemed to be at war with each other.
The problem though with using the services to buy votes for your post, is that in the long run it will make the value of steem go down. So it's not good for people who want to make money here. Not ultimately.
Of course - I agree with
