Why so much hate on steemit?

in #steemit8 years ago

There's more and more hate post or comments on Steemit nowadays. Why?

Envy?
Because some people gets like 5-6k for their post and they don't?Just remember that we don't get paid at all on other platform and we never complain or make a big fuss about it. All we get is a thumbs up. Just treat this place as a place for you to share information or read about stuff when you're bored. Life will be easier that way in steemit. You don't expect people to pay to to paint their car with silver paint and you did it with blue right? Just repaint it and get paid. Just try and try again with your post. One day you might get lucky.

What's with the "You need to verify yourself"
I just don't get it. If you find someone who is fishy... don't upvote. Simple as that. If they get a lot of upvotes just let them be. Whales or dolphins like them for some unknown reason. It's like your friend fell in love with a guy who everyone hates. Just let her be.. its her choice. You don't go around facebook asking for verification also. I'm not sure why everyone on steemit need people to verify themselves... for security reason? I might be wrong on this issue. Might be important to verify ourselves in case of a cyber terrorist attack.

Whales
Why keep talking about whales? If you like whales so much go visit a sea aquarium or something. I see some of the people are saying that whale isn't fair giving their votes. BE A WHALE YOURSELF! Just put like a million dollar in steem and be a whale yourself if your so good at voting. You don't tell Bill Gates how to spend his money right? Why should you tell the whales who should they vote for? Just chill... if you want to earn money fast.... get a real job and work hard.


Just treat steemit like any other platform where you post stuff for free. Give your wisdom for free. Sharing is caring :)

Sort:  

Too many people are seeing this platform as a get rich quick scheme and posting or up voting just to get money. This is not how this works, This is not how any of this works.

This is a platform for like minded people that help curate and nurture quality content that they have interest in, to most of us the money is an added bonus for doing something we like and not a commanding end all be all.

This is, first and foremost, a social media platform - SO BE SOCIAL.
There was never a promise of going viral. Anyone who walks in here with only the forethought of making money is going to leave disappointed quickly.

This is a community.

You have to nurture it like one. If your only motive is to post all your material without giving much thought to the community, all you're doing is essentially just handing everyone a business card with the hopes they'll give you money.
That's not what really works here, I've found.

Just be a human being.

This will assure others you realize they're just as human as you, and you'll be more likely to garner the attention you originally sought here.

Keep up the good work!
