RE: IMPORTANT dialog / correspondence from someone frustrated with steemit. DON'T MISS THIS INTERACTION.
Sounds like the rants of a wannabe. The wannabe is dishonest with himself. Putting all your faith in any venue like social media is ridiculous. I just look at this as fun. I'm on a social media site that doesn't have ads. If you read my stuff, cool. If not, that's cool too. If you're mad you're not getting paid for literally doing next to nothing and other people are getting paid then maybe you should go collect unemployment. Steemit is not a job.
Once you get a taste of the honey, you want more honey and get upset when you can't.
Originally most people love the few cents. Then they love the dollar or two.
Soon cents and dollars are not enough, because we see other people making hundreds.
If you lose the concept that you started FOR FREE. ..then made cents... and then made dollars...
Stop looking at people who are making HUNDREDS.
It's all about perception and reality. I don't fault anyone for getting sucked into that vacuum, but if you created a free account here and it still makes you some money... how can you complain about it?
To give an example, in Ethopia according to this calculator last updated September 2017
With today's payouts on steemit, over an entire month, you could feed your entire family on crappy posts with a mediocre family grocery bill.
Those of us lucky enough to make money in better ways should acknowledge that there is value here. None of us are going to buy a Lamborghini or retire soon. But to suggest this place is worthless and a waste of time, just angers me.
It's not a waste of time. It's fun. If you're lucky enough to get paid to have fun, good for you. I just find it a bit humorous that people get their panties in a bunch instead of trying a different approach.
HOLY S---- ... (to be politically correct) HOLY CRAP.
I just read your blog. OMG, you have a way with words. Stories too!
You're making a bunch of top notch posts about life and getting paid under $1.00 and you know it. ...however the stuff you write, is EXACTLY what a lot of us want to read.
...just wait for it. keep it up. You're doing it right.
Payouts aren't an indication of content value. They're an indication of popularity.
Popularity and content value aren't the same.
I just snatched that from your blog. OMG I love that you wrote that.... You're reputation level 25 today. We're gonna cross paths soon, and then again, and then a year from now. Keep writing your stuff. It is totally awesome the stuff you share.
Following you now -- and thanks for keeping your head on straight. Most people don't.. or they succumb to the stupid parts of life and then get their head disjointed. lol.
Wow, really cool meeting you!
EDIT:You just moved up to reputation level 28 from 25, don't know if it was my votes that did it, or others too. You're going to keep moving up if you keep writing what you write. :)
Comments like these keep people going, Gj!
Hahaha thank you. I have many more already written. I've had a lot of life experiences. The next installment is something I wrote over a year ago but I'm rewriting it. It's going to be about women with Daddy Issues. Thanks again.
Hehehe I can only wait. :)
....and.... this is the important part:
REWRITING it. Not just reposting it. So many ex-bloggers come on here and recycle their material already posted on the web and expect to lean back and get paid.
Rewriting and making it fresh and new, is well respected here, both by real users and bots alike.
another follower ! very cool !!!
