Thank you so much. Appreciate it. I have some more insight into the platform from my perspective and why I got so negative. Maybe it's something useful for you to consider when talking to the higher ups.
Basically I read a lot about steemit and watched videos too, all about how the platform works BEFORE I signed up. A common theme that I picked up on, is that if you post quality good informative work then you will succeed, and you will have post after post make good money and a growing following......end of story. That's it. I was reading and seeing that over and over.
That is not the reality of the platform. That more or less was a straight up lie. I don't like being bait and switched. The reality is that posting good info and content is not the recipe to success here. You NEED to go onto other peoples blogs and comment on their stuff, whether you are interested or not. I don't recall reading that as being part of the recipe to success when I started here.
I feel like I now have to be almost a phony and spend my whole day commenting on other people blogs as if I'm interested. Even if I am interested, I prefer other forms of entertainment away from my computer screen.
So for me to learn that I now am going to spend the whole day on my computer commenting on others stuff so I can succeed on here was not what I anticipated from the start. I now have accepted it and will do what I can. But that is the cold hard truth from my experience from before I even signed up.
Hope you understand a little better about where my confusion and negativity has come from.
On a more positive note. I have enjoyed the friends I've made and the back and forth penpal style relationships, and especially the real life meet ups with @luczypher in Mexico, and @fitinfun in Bangkok. So for me that has been a bonus worth appreciating. I sincerely enjoy the growing friendship that you and I now have. Thank you again for your help and encouraging words! :)
Truly yours- Dan
Glad to hear you are on track.
Steemit is about interacting, but you don't need to be phony, find posts that you are truly interested in that maybe only two a day, but make them count, as it's putting your best foot forward each time you comment or resteem.
You don't need to spend all day commenting, maybe give yourself a set amount of time to look for posts that interest you and comment, when you follow others that write about what you are interested in, there posts will pop up in your feed.
Which means your structuring what interests you without having to spend all day doing a few tasks, it will take time to set up, but it will all come together.
Steemit has changed over the last year, that happens with growth and their will many reasons why people will come to Steemit and feel like you did, because we all have different exceptions as it's something a little different, it's not apart of our habits.
Tweaking our habits just a little at a time will help to ease into it to get the best solution for you.
Super Glad your staying on Steemit keep on Steeming!
Well I certainly figured out what I needed to do to make my time to earnings a lot more valuable. I feel like I have cracked the code, and I'll say this who you know on here and the power they have makes a huge difference. You can totally see the direct correlation in my up-votes and earnings over the past week. I have not been phony, I can't be, it's not in my nature. But I have reached out to some real power players in the steemit world, and they suddenly have my back seeing that I constantly put out quality interesting posts and that I have been an undervalued contributer to the steemit platform. Once I gain some steem power of my own I will surely be looking to help lift up the next crop of minnows! Thanks again for your continued support. -Dan
