RE: The problem with steemit is that it incentivizes selfishness and passivity
A major problem is that Dan is pumping out a fancy version of steemit 2.0 on EOS that will even have a coin that is actually pegged to the USD to go with it. This in combination of a bunch of stuff at once, long term most people are preparing for EOS to just cause a shit ton of disruption in this space.
Right now Dlive is awesome and I am really trying my hand at working my ass off to be a content creator. I am almost starting to get my feet on the ground now too as my post payouts are going up in general. My burn rate is currently around at least 100 steem a week and I am ALMOST just barely making it, but sadly even with a ton of effort I am going to likely be in bleedout ultimately.
Random bills and even the IRS are popping up on me so I am just kinda fucked. Ill be pretty happy if it turns out I still have over 1k steem by the end of the year. :/
We are in challenging times to say the least.
I'm glad Dlive is working for you, I really like it: unlike @dtube, it actually works!
My earnings were similar to yours before I eased off last month, back to it now. TBH if I can earn $100 a month for the next few months, I'll take that.
I agree about EOS, like everyone else on here, I've got a few to hedge my bets. In fact I've made a point of buying EOS every time I've bought more steem over the last year.
If things don't pick up on either platform by next summer, I might be on a 'rice and beans' strategy.
Way ahead of you there man. I just wish the beans didn't give me so much gas...
