@flauwy @jacekw @rentmoney @senstless I am shocked to even see some of the better players and more influential people around Steem Monsters even on my Steemit account and yes my post may have been made overly emotionally.

I know I wasn’t directly mentioned but I feel included within the general group that those comments were directed at. I mean in the grand scheme of things I have a lot on my plate right now with school and other things I have going on in my life that I view this as a hobby and one that I can do to in some small way feel at least like I’m helping people while make a little bit on the side I can use to buy some cards.

I don’t view it as anything more than that and I have no other motives so to feel like someone is going to eventually target my account and downvote the little bit I am making that makes me ask myself them what’s the point and why do I want to subject myself to that? I don’t want to be treated poorly just because I’m trying to be involved and trying to find a way to fund the cards I buy.

It’s just not a great feeling knowing other people think your insignificant or harmful to the platform when I think otherwise.

I just have time justifying the “profit” I make versus that kind of headache or treatment. I want to stick around mainly because I have already in a short period of time made some acquaintances on here and I generally like the people and playing the game.

I just might take a step back for a little while and recollect myself.

I also hear you on the repetitiveness of the posts. I’ve had this conversation with my brother before and we’ve struggled to come up with improvements honestly because we’re still trying to figure out how to do things to mix it up or make it more appealing. None of us are very techy or even half-way understand mark-up format and photo creation or editing, etc. but we’ve been at least trying to research some of this maybe to little avail but we’ve tried to all model our posts similarly to provide a level of consistently.

Maybe that was the wrong approach and made it more spammy. I’m not really sure at this point but if I do continue the giveaways at a later date I’ll work on more improved posts at least but there won’t be much I can do about the value of the cards I Giveaway.

I only get 3 cards or so afterall when I play in the Silver leagues with my gold foil cards and they’re usually commons anyway.

I only play with gold foil cards that I could afford (mainly commons and rares) so really what else could i giveaway without funds to buy a higher level deck a lack of desire to spend my few cents I make renting a bunch of max level cards?

In any case, I’m honored the four of you would even stop by and lend some support, that does mean a lot to me.
