RE: How to be a Hypocritical Community Builder on Steemit
This hits right at the eye of it. I share the same disdain. The worst people are the people who keep reminding others of their deeds which actually cast doubts on whether their deeds are benevolent or otherwise.
Using charity as a leverage is the lowest of low. I have differences with many people but there is still enough respect to honour their work without sinking into a false pretence of, if i do charity, dont question my integrity. People who bitch on the platform that pays them is like spitting into their own rice bowl and to a certain extent the same rice bowl some of us are actually eating from.
Over the years, you will see "community builders" like this come and go, in various different shapes and colors and agendas. The similarities? They only feed number one - themselves.
And most of the time, they are brilliant opportunists who fail to see the big picture. If they see a small crack on the wall, they will drill, hack and hammer their way through. Little did they know if they just take a few steps back, they would see there's a way to go around the same wall.
But then again, as the local saying goes, bodoh-sombong (translation: dumb and arrogant?)
Thanks for your comment.
I think the key is gratitude and loyalty. We all want a strong a reliable community and I found it in steemit. No point pouring scorn to gain favour. That doesn't sound right to start with.
Well said abang @sireh.
Let gratitude and loyalty be the key.
These are also my guiding posts not just for community building but in life.
Well, to some, the only way they feel better about themselves is by making others feel bad.
