RE: The Proof is in the Pudding (Part Two)
Yeah, that makes sense, friends are friends, and not freezing ones ass off is an important goal in my life too! I've done that growing up on a hill farm in Oregon, layering is important!
And Steemit has published itself as a social media site even though voices in this community speak out for or against content quality. Some want a Steemit Facebook without the censorship and the ability to monetize their own data instead of the platform using their data for its own profits.
I will leave this site if I have to constantly mute porn like postings, nudity isn't an issue, it's context. I find sexual explicit content next to a how to care for a child article unsettling. That's my bottom line when working on social media sites in the past. I've been on a lot of new platforms in the past.
But anywho...you message got through to me, I can use it to clarify my goals, thank you for your well thought out articles and ideas and your helpful comments.
My main issues with the platform involve the automated voting process and how those using it are are only looking out for themselves. Setting the bot to vote for the easy curation rewards and damaging the future of the platform. People are not here to read or be entertained, for the most part. I was sold on the idea that I could perform in front of an audience, an audience that barely exists now. So I must look further and hope for the best. I can't keep doing this for free though. I'll use the platform that allows to me to be free, proudly, and there's no need to lash out.
I set my goals when things were different here. People who want to ruin things for the rest of us will not hold me back. I'll be more than happy to be a member who actually draws people to the platform. If they see the efforts I put in and the rewards I get out and decided this isn't for them, that's not my fault.
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, it was a good talk, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have yourself a very good day.
I was a against bots from the beginning and I don't know if curation guilds will grow a healthy community and free market. But these issues won't drive me away from Steemit, I am a curious cat and I want to see what happens next! See you on your next post my new friend ;-)
