RE: The Future of Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

And... what communities have you joined and actively contributed to? You wont get any votes without followers and you wont get any followers hidden by yourself in a dark room posting. There are over a hundred great thriving steem subcommunities to participate in, and you must participate to get value from them and build relationships.

People come here expecting money to fall from the sky or something. Do you have a project? Are you building a following by adding value to the ecosystem? Have you joined communities and been a friend to make a friend?

You can open a pizza shop, but the register wont fill it self you have to make great pizza (content) and then maybe sponsor a kids sports team (participate in the community) and then advertise (actively be in your communities being a friend to make more friends, who will then follow you and vote on your content, if its worth voting on.)

Or you can complain your way through it, expect it to magically happy, post finger pics and whine, while those of us with less than 7 months on the system have earned 10-20 grand in steem and sbd which a LOT more in fiat, built massive followings, contributed projects, software or community leadership to the ecosystem and actually WORKED to earn our income, because this ain't no magic ATM machine.

^^^^^ This, this and more of this. Why do people struggle to understand that the best way to make this platform a success for themselves and everyone else is to WORK at it.

I literally made no complaints. I do put out great content and I am working my way up. I was just pointing out the fact that some people are cutting corners. Did not say I would stop making great contents or anything. Was just making an observation based on the post and added a funny gif.

@sircok I am new here so I have lots of stuff to learn. I must say thanks for your comment, it was very insightful.
