RE: Frustrating Times for Minnows post Hard Fork 19. I'm Done with @Randowhale, are You?
The attraction thing happens once a while. One of my posts got 227 upvotes, was listed as 11/80 most undervalued posts (which included posts from big whales mostly) but still the reward has not been relative.
I think there's a lack of understand on the part of whales of how the minnows are suffering, @aggroed being an exception.
Self voting is more common than ever and that means that whatever quality I ensure on my blog will go wasted in terms of rewards.
If you look at my comment box under each post, you'll only find nice words and genuine appreciation. Then look at my rewards and you'll feel sorry. I'm not alone.
I have to agree. I guess at this time blogging or posting here on Steem is more of a part time hobby and not a serious way to earn a living. I'm not sure if you are familliar with the Cryptocurrency world but in here it's the wild wild west where regulation is not present, where criminals are not hounded by the SEC, where serious conflict of interest happen and in this world Steem is one nicest cryptocurrency community out there.
One thing is for sure though "You can never keep a good man down". Please continue posting good content. There are people out there always on the look out for a good read. Cheers mate
Thanks a lot. I am a bit familiar with crypto thing and its trading. Learning that well.
Thanks for motivation and encouragement. I will keep doing my work and bring a positive change with it.
Please do. I'm a no one minnow on here too - but this platform needs people like you. I just discovered your blog tonight and am hooked. Good luck man, i hope you start to get the payouts you deserve.
Thanks @blunderbabe . I have been in discussion with a lot of senior Steemians lately and I see hopeful situation. Our frustrations will be looked in to and you can expect a solution soon.
And I followed you.
Thank you. I'm optimistic too. I try to look at it like this - what other writing site would I even have a shot of making anything. I used to waste my time on Twitter, and stopped because I spent too much time on it. At least here, even if it's not 'fair', we can all at least try to make extra money - but more importantly form a community and be part of something.
That said, it's not an excuse not to fix the problems. The rich shouldn't be able to get richer simply because they are rich - too damn much like the real world lol. Thanks for stepping up. Glad to have found you on here!
I totally agree that we all have wasted fair share of our time on useless social media. I was at Facebook all the time.
This one at least pays some, if not fair, amount for trying. And in time, we will be rich too. You never know. I know I can be a big shot here simply by persistence. The feeling is awesome and I think I will pursue it.
So true. Some times I get frustrated then I'm like...WTF, self. I've only been on here actively for a little over a month. What do I expect? Everything worth achieving takes work.
I'm sort of on the cusp between millennial and gen X - but definitely have that "I want it NOW" issue so common with the millennials. Learning patience is really a virtue ! lol
With that attitude and self confidence and awesome content you are definitely gonna be where you want in here :-)
I am a millennial but the bigger reason my expectations are high is that TWO of my posts in the FIRST week went beyond $200 in reards. It was day 3 and 5 of my Steemit experience.
However, I am being patient and trying to deliver everyday and expect little rewards.
I agree with this comment @ilyastarar especially the appreciating part and taking the time to do this :)
Thanks a lot @road2wisdom for your kind words. I followed you to stay connected.
No problem @ilyastarar I like people like you who tell it like it is! I am following you too. We will keep in touch for sure. Enjoy the rest of your day. :)
Thank you very much!
