RE: What's To Become Of Steemit?
LOL! Glad I figured that out when I only had 230 to sort through, it took me all day. I was new, followed anyone who followed me. I did not understand that it would jam up my feed.
I am getting frustrated, the soft porn, the "follow me I follow you" begging (it feels like virtual panhandling to me!) but the thing that bugs me the most is that even the reputation score is rigged. Some wooman with TWO posts and a dozen comments, been here a week, has an instant reputation of 53. That is bullshit. I thought the rep score was the one honest thing here...
But then life just ain't fair, is it? I decided to make steemit what I want it to be, for me. If I make no money, well, that is what I was making on facebook and youtube already, right? So I started dumping the people I follow unless I ACTUALLY like their content. Going to every blog, seeing what they post. Some of them are pure trash accounts, it seems it is unwise to just follow for follow, but I have not even been here 2 months, took a while to figure it out.
Hello, @fishyculture. Many thanks for your comment. You were quicker than me! I was a 4-month-old Steemian before I did the cull. :-)
I must admit I don't know the reason for the woman's rep score. Maybe asking that kind of question in a post with a steemit tag may throw up an answer or two from someone.
I agree totally with your attitude to Steemit. It can be quite demoralising when a post on which you have spent a lot of time and effort makes next to nothing (happens to me quite a bit) but like you, I look upon it as an opportunity to improve and grow as a poster.
Take care.
