RE: Mmmm Yeah Baby, Put It In My Reward Pool
Do you really believe that the good content that doesn't make bank is really that shithouse?
My point is that people are using @haejin and the way the system works as an excuse for their uninspired content. If they truly believed in their content and wanted to make a career out of it like LITERALLY EVERYONE ON HERE SAYS, then they'd invest a little money into promoting it.
But the cognitive dissonance of someone who unconsciously knows that and the fact that they probably don't have any money to do so is too much for their ego to handle. So they look for something outside themselves to blame. @haejin is an easy target. The Steemit platform is an easy target. After all, there are SO MANY people who agree with them.
Where is this great content? Please show me. I'd like to see a well-written, properly formatted, spellchecked and grammatically correct article that is either informative or entertaining. Preferably both. I can't say I've ever seen anything like that on here, other than my own posts of course.
The fact is that it just doesn't exist on here. And if it does, then the creator needs to increase their desire to make a career on this platform. Because there are plenty of places where they can post and not get a single comment, response, or like for their contribution. People get butthurt on here because muh STEEM coins.
Do you feel bad? Is is snagging at your soul? If you are sober enough, do you occasionally wake up at 3am feeling guilty, but don't have the balls to admit to yourself why that might be?
LOL, really? Not even a molecule of guilt. I earned every dollar I ever made because I produce something of quality and am smart enough to figure out how to profitably promote it using a system that I've fucking explained a million times. But people don't want to listen. It's so much easier to complain than to do the work and put some skin in the game.
I agree you have to invest something - even if it's just effort. Since I need the cash I have to pay pay rent and buy food, I invest my time, and plough my SBD back into SP, since it's not enough to buy a worthwhile amount of bidbot action. I'm lucky in that I've had a few upvotes from @curie, which means I've been able to do this relatively quickly compared to many people here.
On that note, you want to find something that's properly spellchecked and formatted, I'd start with the posts they support. Entertaining and informative? I suspect we have different ideas on what's worthwhile in that regard, so let's not complicate matters any further.
Are you saying that everyone who doesn't have the money to promotes themselves the way that you do is to blame for that fact? You think that people living in poverty are there entirely by choice? Put down that copy of The Secret man and take a hard look at the world around you!
I'm not saying that you didn't work hard to get where you are, because if your account is true, then you did. But some people will never get anywhere, no matter how hard they work and how talented they are - and that's true both in life and on Steemit.
We can't fix everything in the wider world, but the big stakeholders on Steemit can change they way things work here - just a little. And if they don't, there might be another network that does figure out how to do it better. If that happens, and this causes people to leave, and the new money stops coming into the system, your lifestyle is going to get pretty austere unless you have some other income streams.
