RE: Steemit Open Mic Is About Building A Community Of Musicians On Steemit, Not About Winning
The very fact that some people are not happy hints to the success we are having reaching people on the Steemit platform. It's impossible to keep everyone happy, but those of you that understand that engaging with the community you're part of is the main reward are the most appreciated of all. You are why we do this. So, thank you for your music, support, and interest.
Funnily enough I am having a very similar issue on AtomCollectorRecords.com ever since I added Musicoin and dsound to it.
People are complaining that it's no longer about the community and it's all about the money. All I did was make people aware that there are sites out there that allow you to make money from your music. If people choose to earn something for the amazing music they have created then it doesn't mean they don't care about anything other than money any more!
You wouldn't spend weeks working on an oil painting only to give it to a random stranger in the street would you?
Sure the dynamic of a group changes as it grows but it's up to the ones that really want to be part of a community to try that bit harder to make it successful and not be affected by the naysayers!
The complainers are the ones who shout loudest so it starts to feel as though they are the majority but when I actually look at how many people are using the site on a daily basis I realise that they are actually a very small minority but as the membership has grown then in pure numbers there are more complainers!
So keep doing the excellent job you are doing with #openmic and ignore the complainers. Engaging with them just fuels the fire. Use that energy to thank the ones that are contributing and let's all get stronger together!
Add dsound & Musicoin tracks and get more plays!

Very wise words. Thanks for the encouragement and kindness.
