RE: WHAT A MOMENT. Sometimes Chatting Goes a Long Way
Amen.
Just take a look at the trending page. I've seen links to music videos earning over 100 dollars because of voting rings/whales. Yet developer who built the most promising project all by himself in quiet is getting chatted up by Steemit inc employer. I sincerely hope this employer is also contacting many of the whales/voting rings for the same reason, otherwise he must have blinders on.
Ethereum is as big as it is thanks to all the devs building on top of it. We need plenty more around here and Utopian is one of our best chances to attract them along SMT'S. I wouldn't personally mind if elear would get 100$ a day from reward pool as he's project can bring in huge amounts of value to the ecosystem for years to come, even decades. And I say this as a SP holder. I might have to reconsider this position if important Steemit Inc members are this much out of the loop when it comes to their own product. I'm amazed really.
I don't even look at the trending page anymore. When I first started on Steemit, that page was so impressive, inspiring and intimidating at the same time. As time went by, I started to learn the intricacies of this platform and realized the pattern on that page. Always the same people being portrayed on it, always the same whales upvoting them.
Anytime i look at that trending page i build my hopes up that oneday my post will be their, but like u said its ao intimidating and leaves u with guess if they are really humans or 😁 😁 😁 😁
Well thats life not everybody on steemit is a developer, they earn as everybody should, i guess they were the early ones who worked hard for all they are getting now.
