Let's Stop Kicking the Dog - This is Why Steemit Sucks.
Lately there are a whole ton of posts complaining about Steemit and how it sucks and boo-hoo and hoo-boo and the ultimate long-time running famous line - I QUIT
Yup - Your not the first, last, or even a special 100th, 1000th, or millionth user to do this.
So, to be perfectly blunt - Your not special, it won't get you noticed, and most importantly - NO BODY CARES
That is right. It would probably be very helpful if we all said this together... So lets take a moment and recite this line for the sake of the Fuck-it's. It's not like you have anything better going on, so yeah, lets give it a try.
NO
BODY
CARES
It hurts when you expect certain people to care and they honestly don't give a fuck.
Which, in all aspects, is a great starting point to get some understanding here. It starts with disappointment.
The way Steemit is set up, there will always be disappointment. It is unavoidable.
The reason there will be let-downs is this Unrealistic expectation everyone has when they first come here and start their journey down the Steemit rabbit hole is simple.
It's so simple.
It's why I do a face-palm every time a read a post complaining...
MONEY
I have said this multiple times before and I will say it again.
MONEY is the root of all of Steemits problems and successes.
But it's not just money, cause money is everywhere. You obviously don't need Steemit to get money, but you do need Steemit to get that extra dollar.
- You were sucked into Steemit by the all-mighty dollar
- That is why your here... That's why we are all here.
- A fucking Dollar!
The barrier to entry to Steemit and making that dollar is 0. Nothing. Nada. Non-existent.
There is no barrier.
Anyone's Grandma can come to Steemit and make a post about there dog humping another dog and
Wha-la!
It just so happens @berniesanders loves humping dogs and your fucked up posting made MONEY!!!
Try making that same dollar on Facebook...
Instagram?
Personal Website blog?
Anywhere else besides Steemit!!!
100% guarunteed your not getting a dollar.
STEEMIT is "EAZY" Money
And that was, is, and probably always will be the motivation for people coming to Steemit.
I'm going to just say it. Maybe it's true, maybe i'm exaggerating or being dramatic though I'm sure it's not too far off.
- 99% + of people visiting Steemit are trying to make "EASY" money
- Nobody comes here ONLY for content
Being that Steemit is a content creation/ blogging platform - It's kind-of hard when EVERYONE is here to make content and NOBODY is here to just view it.
The vast majority of users on any other social media/ networking/ blogging platform are there to CONSUME the content, not create it.
Steemit has a consumer base trending near 0
When the water has all boiled out of the pot, that burnt shit sticking to the bottom of the pan is what we are left with.
You, Me, and Grandma just want our Dollar...
Right now - That Dollar is hard to come by
Right Now - Steemit isn't "EASY" Money
And Right Now - That is why Steemit Sucks...
It's a Job now.
Jobs Suck.
That's about all I have to say about that...
I'm not proposing any solutions at all this is just a simply way of saying...
Everyone assuming what everyone else's motives should be is just as hilarious.
Maybe if someone did care the results would be different.
I was only half serious...
It's actually shocking how many people do care about the Steem Blockchain for the current marketcap. Lots of other projects with higher value don't have such a commitment.
I find dificult my self to write and read. Its like when i write i just get to tired to read. Maybe there is an extra stress factor counting that i have to translate, review and correct what i wrote.
The conclussion is that i only read steem related post, to get an insight of how everything is going and to keep up to date with new dapps.
As you say, for those who are not "influencers" or having any natural skills to interact on social media, we have to work out there in the real world (sucks) mostly to pay bills and eat.
I want to get better at writing, and if i can get a few bucks doing what i love, so welcome.
Already earn 200sp from 20 starters (after clean my account in earlys 2018) in less than 6 months. Its a tiny growth, but im still proud of it.
What it cost me more over all is to invest time talking and interacting. But i like steem very much and im a long term user. Just keep writing and using the @ocdb bot, the only way to promote my content with a fixed ROI.
Also i did some little money by using @share2steem services who allows me to share the activity of another social media, earn and getting a constant flow of (small) content getting constant activity on the steem feed.
Also @partiko used to help me a lot (they have a micro steem faucet embed to his app) his point system need some tunes at my criteria but as it is is acceptable.
