well, obviously, Steemit is a fucking bogus scam. I simply haven't figured out yet what is going on - probably a closed clique. How is it that people can create posts that are nearly illiterate stream of conscious bullshit without employing simple grammar like proper spelling, sentences, paragraphs and somehow be promoted and yield hundreds of dollars?
I have only produced a few posts but they at least mimic similar posts and far exceed others in quality of cogent content and yet get nothing. My intro gets $5 or $6 bucks when others get hundreds for shitty content? Even using the fucking tags my posts are totally ignored and NOT EVEN PLACED in the tag lists. How does that bias work?
Hello?
It takes time to find your groove on Steemit. I've been on here since the first week and usually just make a few cents per post. It's starting to pick up though and I enjoy writing my posts, so it's all good. Welcome!
Haha. relax. Thats actually super impressive your intro post made you that much. Ive never got that much for any post. but thats no reason to bitch about it. Just enjoy yourself on here. meet people, get followers and follow people. and keep posting, without bitching preferably . There does seem to be some gaming going on, but its not all gaming. it is possible to do well enough I'm sure. Sorry you are angry. Forget about getting paid. Just post on here and be happy in if a year you have 100$, facebook isnt giving you 100$, either is reddit. best best of luck whatever you do. Sorry for the rant
thanks, sorry I am frustrated. However, Steemit main marketing pitch is "you get paid" so why would someone not expect it? I am actually less angry about the getting paid part right now, given I am new, than I am to what appears to me to be obvious bullshit manipulation. Why does the site REQUIRE me to put appropriate tags on my post and yet when I do so they are totally ignored. I made my posts, but when I go inspect the TAGGED list, it is simply ignored and not shown. So, how is my content supposed to EVER gain any footing? It can't. Seems exposure is being reserved for a selected few. Maybe I need to try to insert photos of hot asian girls.
Wow, you just started with the company (steemit.com) about a week and calling it BS!
How did that work out with your last employer?
Now hear me out...
Not going to sell you...
As the new kid on the block you got what? 40some followers who may see your recent post now or maybe when they get around to it. (7day payout)
I admit, I don't have the answer about why your tags don't show up but I am pretty sure they are not in the trending or hot unless 40+ votes or $8+.
Next time you post it will most likely show up in your "new" tab next to "home" tab for the next few hours and will gradually be pushed down to the bottom so hopefully it may become "hot" tag and eventually make it to the "trending" tab where MOST people check!
As a newcomer who is beginning to crawl before walking more time is needed to build a following which would increase your visibility in your post as each follower would see your post in their feed. Cannot say they will click on it or read it or vote on it with a lot other post grasping for attention.
Now you did grab some attention on this post tagged "bogus".
Let me help you and provide a link to @shayne and I strongly suggest to follow him and watch his videos and checkout his blog.
I wish you more luck and more other Steemians to HELP you with your journey here. I love it here and it hurts to see someone who misunderstands to " come for the rewards, but stay for the community"
Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank

thanks. It is quite interesting that this negative post is getting far more attention than any of my posts that "played the game" and did what I was supposed to do. Maybe the steemit community needs to learn from that fact.
I take it you haven't learned anything from @shayne video?
Wow, not sure what arrogant criticism you are trying to make on me there. I did make a Intro post here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@kabrink/finally-hello
It was pretty much ignored.
If you are here just for the money.....you may as well leave. Get social, have some fun, vote, follow, comment (hopefully positive), you can even get rewards for comments. Don't give up and try to be positive that works best.
thanks
Right now you need to build a following. Otherwise the only people who will see your posts are those browsing new. In the future that should improve with communities.
The people who have been here for a long time and built a following obviously have more people (and consequently bots also) upvoting their posts.
This complaint can be applied to every social media platform out there.Not only Steemit
well, not really since no other social media platform claims to pay you for your content.
criticism of me continues. But, check this out.
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@fitgirl/fitgirl-intro-post-5-16-17
yields $103 at last count. Almost zero content, but, hey she is maybe hot. My own intro has so far received about $6. Thanks.
I see @fitgirl must of followed directions and posted a photo...
wow, well, that makes all the difference. This is in the directions? Where is a photo required? I notice you did NONE of this anyway.
Not required.
Get what you pay for.
Now are we talking about me?
yes. Since you have decided to criticize my content then why can I not expose your "content"?
So you expect us to give a faceless, unproven, complainer a $100 post!
Good luck!
wow, you did not even provide an intro post and then criticize me. You are an incredible hypocrite with no content to provide any of us. Thanks.
Attractive people do get more attention, just like in the rest of society. But hey. I want to echo what numerous people above said.. If you take the time to build a following, you can be making like $100 a post like papa pepper. He took the time to really develop a following and it's paying off.
I suggest if you want to be more successful on here, to go to the #introduceyourself tag and meet other new people and ask for mutual follows and form friendships and network.
Also just post good content in general, I haven't looked at your page.. So I dunno what you post, but.. If you just post good content regularly people will follow you. It might take a while.. It took me like 7-8 months to get 350+ followers.. And I put out some pretty good photography and stuff, so.. Yeah. Find something people want, and build a following.. And you'll make a decent amount most likely if you follow that recipe. That's my advice, good luck.
cool, thanks for the info. However, that's kind of my point, I did what I thought I was supposed to do regarding "introducing myself". It got almost no interest. OK, fine. Obviously, I'm not going to carry the point around here. People are not interested in skeptics.
Please answer one simple question. For one example, if I put in the tag "photography" why is my post completely ignored? That is completely bullshit. If the site wants to give everyone equal opportunity to provide content (oh, and be recompensed as marketed) then it seems my content would be, umm oh, I don't know, displayed and placed in the search.
You made more money on your introduction post than I did I think and I included some really dope photography and a picture of myself.
Took me a while of posting before I started making money, wasn't quick. But now my account is worth around 3 thousand last I checked.
So yeah.. I'd rather use this than Facebook which pays me nothing, though i still use that as well just to reach people cause i was doing this for free before money was ever an incentive. Money is just a perk and a bonus. You might not do well if you don't do this kinda stuff already. Your expectations are probably too much, yet.. If steem goes to levels of bitcoin.. This around 3k I have will be worth a lot more.. So.. It has been worth it for me, and it might be incredibly worth it if steemit continues to become more popular.
Now.. In regards to what you said about your tag issue, I dunno what's going on there. Maybe someone in steemit.chat can help you. Or make a post about it asking for help, or do a google search and see if anyone else has already made a post like that.
I appreciate skeptics. I am one. Though true skeptics are open minded and.. So far you seem to be really impatient and condescending about all of this.
I tried to help, good luck.
Thanks for the info.
You learned all this wisdom in just a few weeks?
maybe answer the question
