RE: A sad text about visibility on Steemit - someone else writes much better about this
People don't want followers or engagement. They want money. I'm sorry, but this post is mostly bullshit. No one is here for genuine engagement. You get that on Facebook or Reddit, or anywhere else on the internet.
If people were given the choice between "genuine engagement" and a 100% whale autovote bot with zero views on every post, they would choose the latter.
No one is here for the "social media aspect". They are here to quit their job at McDonald's.
I'm one of the crazy one! I do see the money part merely as a side effect, while I will not neglect an upvote!
But still I do think that I would have been here anymore with the interaction/engagement I am receiving!
I don't have any problem with your viewpoint, at least you are being honest!
He is honest, but he's also
an assholeassuming he's always right.He's not right always, but more often than the average person, but not as often as an engineer would be.
I had to come reply on my phone even though I hate using phone for writing.
People actually really often want the money. They assule they will get big whale upvotes whem they have enough followers and engagement - they assume whales are mindless drones following big groups of users.
Or then they assume big amounts of upvotes bring a lot of payouts. Quite many have no idea of SP and how it affects upvote value.
Facebook and Reddit are controlled. Facebook more than reddit. Write about wrong stuff and you're gone. I never write about the wrong stuff, but I am writing stuff my fb friends are not interested about.
Also, I'm lucky enough to be Finnish so my hourly wage is more than I'm getting on my better posts, while spending more time on a post than at work.
Some poor bastards are trying to use Steemit to get rich on their own standard. They rarely care about engagement, that is true.
I do write 70% of my comments on my phone! Silly me!!!
I do understand there are too many people here for the money. I do understand that some have worked out a great short term business model, without knowing that they are destroying the hand that feeds them!
I’m from Belgium and luckily my real job brings in the money! I’m glad thatI don’t have to count on my Steem earning! I do understand that some people do need it and I can understand in thesecase that they will do everything within the system to achieve these goals. But these are rately the people who buy their post into the trending pages!
I know he is right with on some aspect, I just have a different viewpoint! For me interacting on the Steem blockchain is fun, the money for me is really a nice side effect!
I have never been upvotes by a whale 🤔and according to me I do have posts which are worth it. Not all but some 😂
I also don’t mind that @schattenjaeger has a different opinion! At least he keeps it to facts, which I can appreciate! As long as we respect each others opinions that I could take a loss!
Oh you must have a better phone or better nerves than I have. I'm always having issues with my phone keyboard, as I'm really fast typer with a traditional keyboard but the phone keyboards aren't fast enouogh.
Congratulations being from Belgium! Too bad you don't have as good chocolate as Finns have. (Let's see how much you respect my opinion after this..)
Lets say the the backspace on my iphone is worn out!
Lets see. I can only recall one chocolate which reminds me of Finland, which is finlandia. And you don’t taste the chocolate due to the alcohol!
I don’t even remember a Finish beer! Carlsberg is from Danmark and, ow, Tuborg also.
Always in for some friendly banter 😂
