RE: Why I am ready to Power Down

in #steemit8 years ago

The phrase "power down" suggests to me that you are tired. So rest. Reconsider your strategy, if ever you want to.

When you say "I am just not the sort of person who wants to be associated with shameless corporate shilling. It represents many things that don't believe in. And worse, it's boring!" I start getting excited. Yes! But then, I hear you saying in the comments that it's the only option. You're fed up with selling out but can't bring yourself to stop because, what? The money's too good? I thought your point was that it wasn't, though.

The solution to being fed up with the approach that is making you dislike the people you are sucking up to is to stop being a suck up. If it's not working, investigate whether you are putting the work in. If committing to broad statements about diversity decreasing or whales having fundamentally different taste than minnows, show the work to make that case. Not just anecdotal evidence, but compelling arguments. And not for love or money, either. I know I'm being brutal, but that's because I'm rooting for you, even with the tough love. I appreciate that there is insight, humor, and a real conversation being started in this post and you even shared a song. But it's just a complaint, at this point. It doesn't really deserve all the attention it's getting.
