๐ŸŽ‰ 5500 Followers!+ Answering @drakos Question: WHERES ALL THE DOLPHINS? "The Mass Exodus On Steemit"๐Ÿฌ

in #steemit โ€ข 6 years ago (edited)

๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ‰ Wow 5500 Steemit Followers, Thank You everyone, your support is always appreciated over these past two years that I have been on Steemit! Its been quite the roller coaster of a ride to say the least! I have had many ups and downs along the way. The best was becoming a Dolphin over a year ago with over 11,000.00 Steem Power, the worst was having to power most of it down when I got laid off and the bills tripled up over time along with the credit card debt. Thank goodness at least that I had Steem Power which is now down to about 600.00 dollars as I never did catch up and still need to power down. Thanks Steemit for the better days when we actually earned money at times and people actually upvoted!

๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ‰ We Can Always Dream Of Better Things To Come! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ’

โ˜‘ This leads me to @drakos awesome question and post "What Happened To The Dolphins!?"

๐Ÿฌ BE SURE TO READ HIS POST! Where I will show below the answer I commented in it as to what happened to me at least as a Dolphin, and whats happening on steemit that is causing a Mass Exodus of Dolphins and Minnows! ( I do believe they have lost interest and stopped believing in the platform...) Heres His Link with many more great comments! :

MY COMMENT TO @drakos :

๐Ÿฌ "I was a Dolphin, but when I got laid off last year I had to power down a lot of what i had which was over 11,000.00 SP! Im now around only 600.00 because the posts pay out crap! And it takes all my money that does come in now and what little bit I power down each week just to try and trend my post by using bots which usually doesn't work anyways , so I end up loosing money instead! And if I don't use bots my posts pay out usually less then 1.00 ! Hello To All The Minnows Out There!
๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฌ its really sad to see that the veterans like me that started here over 2 years ago get no support at all from the Whales and even less support from Dolphins because they are all leaving for the same reasons I mentioned! Both my sons have pretty much left too. Making only pennies a post gives zero incentive to stay or try to make better posts. I have tried so many different ways and nothing works, its hopeless really, and nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it, Especially the whales, they should be upvoting the veterans and showing support for their commitment to this platform and all the help we have given to the minnows goes unrecognized !
End Of Rant! I am tired just home from working the night shift, and going to sleep, good night!๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด
Glad to see your getting this out! upped and resteemed for more to see!

๐Ÿฌ This Was Once Mine, and how much you need to be a Dolphin! ๐Ÿฌ

๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’ So there you have it! Plus nobody hardly upvotes anymore and when they do its worth a penny or 0 because the Dolphins are all gone now pretty much! I know at least three who started when I did, that powered down and left . One recently started blogging more and returned @merej99 who joined about a week after me in July of 2016 who also powered down and hopes to be a Dolphin again sometime, but its very hard to do now on this platform unless some changes take place and the so called circle jerking stops! I am now investing in other things. END OF RANT...

โ˜‘ This post will be upvoted with only 2.00 Steem that I have on a bot. Other wise...

I have been on this platform for a year tomorrow so i have seen steemit at its busiest and now its slowest.. i made it to minnow in less than 6 months but in the last 6 months i have only made 250sp for a total of 753sp right now.. its sad to see this platform slowly falling apart but i understand why people are discouraged. I Stay now for the community but i have stopped putting my heart and soul into articles because no one even cares anymore.. i use to get 30+ comments per article, now im lucky to see 10! I am giving it till the end of the year and if nothing changes i will also quit, but i wont power down, i do believe steem will be a top 10 cryptocurrency after they release smts but I don't know if steemit will ever come back to life after appics and other social media apps are available on the smt protocol.. i guess only time will tell.. sorry to hear about ur job loss and struggles, i hope everything works out for you.. Take care..

Thanks so much for your awesome reply.Im in total agreement with you @moderndayhippie . I will likely be doing the same if nothing happens.I am also patiently waiting for Appics to start up and saving lots of stakes up lol. It's going to be awesome and a great app to have on my phone.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

congratulation and its amazing figure you achieved sir, hope you make new high and great success. god bless you

Please read the post entirely , then comment, otherwise dont bother commenting, thanks!

I invested in EOS lately.. but bought steem today again.. its cheap now a days.

Yes , its great if you have money to it, I wish i did right now, its a great time to buy! im hoping to make some money off some Steem Monster cards on the market , once the games start!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I congratulate you @karenmckersie! It does look a little sad, though. It is a pity that many are no longer here. It becomes too noticeable every day : (. But I still wish you not to stop and keep moving here. :)

Yes for sure I notice it on a daily basis. And like I said at the end I'm still here for the community and I'm trying to invest in other things like Steem Monster cards to sell later when they are worth more money. Thanks for your kind reply๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š
