RE: Does My Ego Look Big In This? (Steemit)
I understand the sentiment of stream of conscious writing as mistakes happen or words are accidently left out at gathering an idea or observation, whatever it is (I have plenty of chicken scratch papers that needed to be written in the moment--and some are better for it), but in this platform, in this article feeding context (and this is no attack on you) I don't understand why people don't just proofread after they write, then click post--how can it be a bad thing? Technology can delete and type at a whim-- I almost feel that some people are on the idea that it's rebellious to not spell correctly or use (at least) good grammar--to not play by the rules, but these rules are superficial at most--all the while, the principle by which they conduct their writing is still adherring to the rules of a system within boundaries and governed on rewards, and most importantly, left unquestioned, because as I was saying in my first comment, the intention is convoluted in money making and attention getting (what may have worked might have been the articles written fast and sloppy, "the content matters most", I agree-- but, the eyes gleam at 'punk' as a brand, which goes against the very idea of punk itself, lacking any so-called intrinsic substance. In the Philippines they understand the meaning of 'plastic' people, because they see it on TV, the internet--they're outside of the bubble)--
Some articles, I have no idea what they're even talking about, not only because of bad grammar and spelling or words missing, but because they seem to fixate solely on using words that create the image and facade of their attempted brand (philosopher, spiritually connected, anarchist, blah blah--) moreso than the message.
And yes, my dear keep writing--I only deleted that portion of my comment earlier because my phone spazzed the 'post' button and I didn't want to come off mistakenly sarcastic or mean. You replied too fast, :)
Haha sorry i have a habit of replying fast...no good with procrastination or patience i'm afraid. I didn't take it as mean or sarcasticso no worries there. I get what you mean about rushing to blindly post about stuff without due care or knowledge. Yes i agree that doesn't allow Steemit to develop the better content and clogs up the system somewhat. I have no idea sometimes with what a lot of people write and switch off very quickly at times. But i do like simple reading.
