my unease with dollar amounts

in #steemit8 years ago

Aha. It's all coming back to me now. In the TINAP days, we once had a discussion (prompted by a listener) about placing a Flattr button on the site and I remember saying:

'Feck me. Now we're not doing that and we're never going to do that.'

'Why not ?'

'Why ? Why ?! Because then I would just spend every minute of every day hitting 'Refresh' and exclaiming 'HEY LISTEN EVERYBODY. WE HAVE 3 FLATTRS ! and we'd never do another episode'.

I knew there was a sensible reason behind this rather irrational feeling of unease. Phew.

Sort:  

The value will fluctuate with the current Steem price and the votes you've had. Initially it can be exciting to see a post value going up. Damn it, I still do that!

BTW There's currently something that makes posts less valuable if you do more than 4 in a day, but you may not be bothered to start with. I find this concentrates my mind on quality over quantity. This is one of the limits they may remove in time, along with the 6 levels of comments.

Mine's a pint ;)
