RE: Thousands of dollars in rewards recovered to the reward pool.
Cleaning up activity like this is necessary to retain the value of the platform and its currencies in the future, everyone is still motivated by money, lol.
Ooh, ooh me!!! Call on me!!!!
I really don’t care about the money. I usually just give away upwards of 75% of payout value equivalent in fiat to a non-profit. The rest I put into increasing post visibility, not to make money, but to get more eyes on what I write.
It’s not because I’m better than anyone who is motivated by money.
I’m actually worse, since my motivation is probably best described as something approaching an almost unprecedented level of navel-gazing vanity.
In other words, I want lots of people to read my stuff and go “Ooooooo,” and “wow״ and just start chanting “That guy’s great! That guy’s great!”
It’s really unbelievable that there’s even room left on the blockchain for anything other than my ego.
But still, ya know, not motivated by money...
Virtue signaling is one of the favored pastimes on steemit, you will go far with that attitude. Hell, I just put it in my username.
Oh you have no idea.
I’m on like Virtue Signaling-The Lost Levels.
I make a point to compare myself to a piece of garbage on a regular basis, and to figure out the nasty things people will say about me in advance, so I can head them off at the pass and just do it myself.
Strangely, even though it all has the utility of virtue signaling, its all also not an incorrect understanding of my own self-worth.
Follow this stuff down into my psychological rabbit hole and you’ll find that all the “admitting that I’m a walking talking ego trip” is just a cover for some incredibly deep rooted insecurities and neuroses.
My psyche makes Woody Allen look like a hyper-confident alphamale.
So I should take up virtue signaling? I'm not sure I can do that as I am most certainly the most useless poster on the blockchain.
In fact, I'm surprised I don't have a negative number of followers...although there's always @charitybot to save the day.
Let me see if I can find a way for everyone I come in contact with to marvel at my amazing self-deprecation and I'll get back to y'all.
P.S. I'm now following @ilt-yodith (despite having no idea wtf that name means) simply based on this post: https://steemit.com/funny/@ilt-yodith/we-re-all-just-socializing-on-the-toilet
yeah that one was a masterpiece of filthy crap, definitely not a recommended read for the weak willed
This was a masterpiece. Extra credit for subtlety referencing a toilet during your self-deprecation.
If you can condition people to think of toilets whenever your name is brought up in conversation, you’ve essentially earned a Masters Degree in purposeful self-loathing.
A+
thank you for turning me on to him/her.... i have since read 95% of his/her posts and laughed and pondered and genuinely loved it all. can't wait for more LOL
Haha, I've been thinking a lot about how to work steemit into non profits. It looks like there's a lot of opportunity here to raise funding.
ahhhhhhh THIS is where i first found you LOL. it was the last tab to close... lol
