RE: An Update On My Curation Habits and Why You're Better Off Buying Your Votes and Earning Peanuts

in #life6 years ago

It's not just me they push away. I am leaving though. Can't do this anymore. I don't want to pay those people just so I can work here.

I didn't call all the minnows two-faced. There's a few out there, I didn't mention names. If they read this, they'll know who they are. The one's I'm not talking about, they should know who they are as well.

Sort:  

Nobody's stopping you from working here but yourself. If you need to go, go. I'm sorry. That sucks. I like your work. Lots of us here do, too. To us, it's hella unfair to lose you because the engagement and exposure we provide isn't good enough for you. But nobody's going to tie you to a chair and beat art out of you. Besides, we're too tired from trying to make a difference, over here. We can't hit the button any harder. We've failed you.

One of my favourite Steemians once wrote:

Today, an artist revealed his latest offering to the world, free of charge. A patron of the arts was given a token of appreciation for the appreciation. The artist has done the exact opposite of selling out.

A busker sits on the street and strums his guitar while throwing change in everyone's hat. He goes home with a full stomach.

This changes everything. We've revolutionized the arts and entertainment industry.

Everything you said there is beautiful. Everything you said there is still true. I still hand out money for free to people whose presence and work I enjoy, and I am still often rewarded for providing comments (I've even posted one or two times in 5 months!).

I get that the place isn't the utopia it could have been without human greed. It's still better than most anywhere else. That's my opinion.

You have an ingenious creative mind and I have no doubt you'll take it wherever you go. So wherever that is, crypto-centric or not... drop me a link; let me know.

Take care of yourself, man. <3

I think I responded somewhat to this in my newest post.
