Before i start, i am using this moment to apologize to @oluwoleolaide because i see comments in my post about a petition to Curie accusing you and another insulting comment in one of my posts by someone, i also apologize to the Nigerian Curation Team, at least the 3 i have known so far in person of Mr.@ehiboss @ogoowinner and @onequality please correct me with the spellings and please pardon me if i didn't mention your name for i rarely have enough time to navigate Steemit.
Few days ago, i wrote a petition to @Curie which generated a lot of frictions. The man who brought me here on steemit @oluwoleolaide called me immediately upon seeing it, things escalated and we exchanged some sour words for i was bent on leaving so i never cared about Backlashes. Usually i play on steemit every morning once i get to the office and that's when i often do most of my posts cos i'll be tired before getting home at night, so the following morning i saw floods of comments and to my sadness; my friend was been thrown jibed at by some of our fellow country men and ladies and was even speculated to be behind me writing that Petition.
I tried to call him back to apologized because i saw a couple of comments attacking him and i was not happy an inch for what happened to this man, then he texted me and later he called and explained how Steemit and Rewarding system works which i still try to fathom how that stays in my head.
A Crumb of the Cake or none at all!
I was told investors owns the Whole cake, that is people who have higher investment on Steemit takes the Major slice of the cake, meaning if i don't invest here then all i gotta take is the crumbs and enjoy it or leave. Metaphorically speaking; the Cake is the Steem/Steem Power which comes from the Reward Pool(the Cake). If you have noticed, the cake never get served equally, the crumbs then falls out and passed as post rewards after 7-days.
Call it any name you like, but the Cake Crumbs stuck in my head i think it's high time you and i start to take the crumbs and not complain till we can afford to own part of the Cake by investing in Steem, that is if am not rich enough in Dollars to buy a shit load of steem to be able to eat a real slice of the Cake and not the crumbs- Yes, if you don't have investment, all you do is get paid out of the benevolence of this investors who sometimes comes to votes on some users page.
How did that happen? Well if you didn't come on board this platform when there was enough crumbs floating around and gives you a hefty wallet in terms of SteemPower, then you are the 2nd to 3rd and 4th waves of users but not investors.
A crucial fact is that, not all of us could afford to invest big in steem especially considering the part of the World many users like me are with our Socio-economical conditions. That been cleared, we all want to eat out of the Real cake but maybe we could not afford it now but maybe later- Until the, we eat the crumbs and just have to love it!
You have done well brother, it's a bygone now and thanks!
You may have to check at ogoowinner's username. It's all good, I'm happy we are in this together. Keep hope alive. Keep steeming.
Thanks brov, edited now
