RE: Steemit Update [October 30th, 2024] : Community Curators for November
It was easy, and it would have been easier (+ time saving) if I did it alone and knew I had to do it alone.
At the moment an army was hired to check (not totally my deciscion) and all were paid it turned out most of them hardly did anything for different reasons. That is something I only found out because I checked everywhere. @yancar was the one who worked most, also the best one (stick to the rules) moderator. Mikitaly did a lot although she shouldn't.
I don't mind reading since that is what I do daily 30-50 stories/texts and this time it was delivered (sort of) on a plate.
I did do extra work. I checked those who checked. I visited the accounts of the participants to check their entries, comments and replies. This was also the reason why I noticed entries didn't show as I only followed the hashtags.
I tried to answer all notifications, questions even if the answers were written in the lesson or announcement of the winners.
I kept explaining how the points were calculated and kept adding the links which is a hell of a job even more with a (slow) phone, I gave tips and the right to edit and checked again (after all it is a course and learning, practising and improving is the idea/a right although I didn't see other teams do this but I didn't visit them all no time for that I already had a hard time to write myself).
It's 8 am... I better stay awake now.
Time to read 30+ texts and after that I hope to invest in a hobby and write a story.
@saintkelvin17 is sleeping again? He has to catch up or get the best out of his internet if he might have none next month he can sleep.
You had lunch yet?
Thank you, it was a great job, I liked it, I did it with great enthusiasm and I miss those functions.
Blessings, friend.
We can see if we can do something next year again. It's good to have a break and relax. I have suddenly lots of time. 😁
I hope you are doing well.
🍀♥️
I did not know in detail but I do know that you were busy. You ran the class in a unique way that forced engagement, while making participants learn. Your class recorded 155 participations in the first week, but none of the following weeks reach on third of this number, any idea why?
You know why.
People thought it was one of those SEC contests and writing is something you do between pooping and wiping your arse especially freewriting.
The fact they had to follow some rules made them mad, also they had to do 3 task but more read what was written.
I already knew most never read and I saw that happen here again.
Entries were based on just a title or 2 lines read.
The most simple task asked was not understood by most.
A few dropouts were due to personal (for me understandable) reasons and hurricanes, that's fine. It's harder to catch up if you missed former lessons.
Laziness (sec hunters) and anger (I know it all I post on Steemit, also from hosts of contests and moderators) is the reason of most dropouts next to simply forget it (this happens if more than one course is followed which is stimulated by the Steemit Team but if it comes to learning with awareness it will not work since many follow the courses next to a busy offline life. More than one became ill and I find that alarming.
The good ones, motivated ones stayed and these are the best to have. As a challenger it would have been different but this is how the teaching developed. The lessons were also based on the former lesson + experiences and complaints (explaining again although it wasn't read).
Next to writing I also wanted to show where free writers and those without a clubstatus are welcome to write. There's plenty of choice also for newbies and if you want to grow.
Since engaging is a must and commenting is writing it was part of #wewrite as well just like team True Colours rewarded commenters.
I find it hard to see how no SC or Teaching Team seems to care but why should they if it brings more work and the cake has to be shared or given away?
For sure it's easier to write 6 lessons, schedule them and stop by in the end to announce a winner but what is learned if no one tells what is wrong and how to improve it?
Contrary to what might seems to be popular believe, I thought your class was one of the toughest, that's why I never participated. I am more of a strict person in writing, that's why I enjoy writing scientific and statistic articles. There was a time when I enjoyed writing fictions, but now the pen seems to had dried out.
Now I understand better the reason for the drop of participation numbers.
... but what is learned if no one tells what is wrong and how to improve it?
So true.
Actually, you would be a good one since you comment and blurt out what you think and that's all what you had to to. (lesson 1the 2 pictures and comments)
Next generate a picture and write a few lines (for sure you can count and commenting is no problem to you.
The fable perhaps? Can be you easily wrote one after the other lessons. The short film review? A short film/video and telling in short what you think, like and dislike. Sounds a lot like commenting.
Poetry perhaps though I am sure you would have come up with something great.
A drie pen.. How about a pencil? I noticed it's easier, faster to write a comment than a post even if the comment is long. How come?
Most likely it's the idea it should look different and markdowns and pictures are more time consuming.
#wewrite & #comment which should be the same, relaxing without stress.
♥️🍀
I never thought about it like that. Now it sounds like fun. I know it was fun, but when you put it like that, it feels a lot
funner, for me.I noticed it's easier, faster to write a comment than a post even if the comment is long. How come? Most likely it's the idea it should look different and markdowns and pictures are more time consuming.
If it's about the numbers of characters, many of your comments can go as posts.
I know many of my comments are like posts and so are yours. So if you write a post as if you write a comment there's always an easy (free) write without dry ink.
Maybe I should give some tries on the Freewrite Community.
You can do that. I find it relaxing. No pressure, nonsense and blah blah is fine. 😁
I have noticed something like that before, we tend to enjoy writing a comment than a post, I have always wanted to see something like this in someone's comment and post so that I can be convinced that am not the only one that has noticed it.
We write long and quality comments more, when the discussion or the situation on ground is a serious and interesting one.
I comment better when I can joke and some people take offences. 😂😂😂 And when there are gifs. Oh, gifs.
Which means you even get excited when people get offended by your jokes 😂😂
The best thing to do is if you write a long comment is not to send it but post it as a post. Use the hashtag comment and mention the one you commented on. If comments are not upvoted or worse read and answered or if they are interesting it's better to make a post out of it.
It's a win-win-win (saves time plus more can read it plus a bit upvote).
Yeah I get the point now, a total amount of $1 upvote is better than nothing because most of these our long comments doesn't receive upvote.
Am catching up small small my friend, I wasn't sleeping he said I need to sleep and I told him I will try my best to sleep for a while.
Do you know that all the sleep I get is as a rest of dozing off, I only sleep intentionally whenever my network is bad.
Yh I can sleep this November and get back to work December.
You sleep whenever network is bad. That's why you have been having those nightmares I guess. But why you don't sleep, really? Because you're like Batman, and the city -Steem- needs you? 😂
Hmm 🤔 could that be the reason I have nightmares? You see friend, bills are always on me as the first son of my father, I really have alot to do online so that I can still be getting the little amount of money I earn here while creating impact in this platform.
Obviously am like Batman but does steem actually need me? It seems am been skipped when most curators see my posts and most times I which votes can be guaranteed in steemit at least for one whole month.
I put some of my time in telegram airdrops as these airdrops are now very many and I need to focus on the ones that have higher chances of doing well on their listing day. Sometimes I do take time to study as well because I really need to get myself prepared for the university.
Write down everything that bothers you. Make lists of the bills. Highest priority first and go to bed.
No money, no university. If you try it only adds more stress and more bills. Try to break the circle. Your parents should take care of you and if you earn you take care of yourself first.
Stop the contests where you pay for. If no one cares about you why should you care?
Now go to sleep! Dozing is not enough.
Surely the highest priority comes first. My parents are taking care of me not much anyway and I hope they God blesses them financially soon.
Yh no one cares about me anyway but I derive joy in creating contests, I have my reasons and the total steem I give out in a month for my two contests is 18.
😔 I wish I can. But is ok anyway, I will be fine 🥺
It's 18 per week with me if not more 🤔
Did you change into investing yet?
You don't look fine.
Did you sleep by now?
I haven't changed into investing yet, I have been participating in some airdops in telegram so that I can get some money from them if they list in an exchange for us to sell them.
Am not fine but I appreciate the fact that things aren't too bad. I did sleep but not for long.
You trust the Telegram 'game mining'.
I don't know.
Perhaps this helps - you should better download it
We all have to work hard. Some harder than others, I think. I believe you are a good man. Trust me bright days ahead. Keep the faith on God and his blessings.
I am on my way to work outstation. I and some friends go by land and basically haven't have enuff sleep yet, but it's all fun.
Next week might leave me very little time to go Steemiting. But I have to make time since writing for Steemit is now like a need in me. I am targeting to leave this year with at least 5000 own sp. And there are 60 days to go. 🙄
Yes we have to work hard that's why I love Cristiano Ronaldo, his hardwork really brought him to where he his now, am not a football fan by 100% but Ronaldo is one of my role models because of his rate of hardwork especially in the past, he worked so hard for him to be in the level of Messi who got a very wonderful talent but it was never Ronaldo's talent. His passion and hardwork really brought him far.
There are situations you need to work harder for you to be either at the top or close to the top, I have to do that and if God finally answers my prayers he will definitely take me far to the extent o don't need to work too hard to get what I want.
My friends have always told me to never give up that there are better days ahead and one day I will be the one who's always lucky and I hope so.
I also have a target of achieving another dolphin before December 31st but is looking quite impossible for me now but I haven't given up yet on that target.
It's great to have a great man as a role model. I am not that into football either, but Ronaldo is amongst the person I highly respect.
How many dolphins are you now, by the way? I am 3000 something SP, that makes me what?
Yes Ronaldo is my ginger in steemit ever since I used to shine then, as for now I know am not shining enough like the way I used to in the past.
I checked your wallet when you talked about steem power and I know you already have less than 2k steem power to get there. I only have 12,700 and I need more than 2k steem power before December 31st. I will be very happy is I achieve this.
I wish you the best. May you be chosen for December.
Perhaps you talk too much and keep him out of his well deserved nightrest?
I guess so. 🤣🤣🤣
