This, it's about engaging, a blockchain that distributes coins based on targeted interaction. It creates a model of stimuli where people want to stay active to earn as much as they can. It generated a no-begging culture for obvious reasons, it's unpleasant, but the purpose doesn't change, only the approach.
I didn't say people have to contribute just a understanding that people who are hungry will do anything to eat. I understand it's not the intended purpose of the platform but I am not going to flag someone for that.
I'm not criticising you. In fact, I'm understanding about that. People need money. I need money. My only income is Steem and I have no shame in saying that my main reason to be here is because I want to eat three times a day and have clothes, whereas if I weren't here, I wouldn't be able to do these things as easily.
But it's not like I'm desperate or that I'm begging. That's what I meant by "a different approach". Steem is not a platform where you earn by begging. It's a platform based on interaction. You earn by being a positive member of the community. Creating content, posting comments, networking. It's like social lego. It's cute and profitable.
So yeah, don't flag people for wanting money. :) Tummies need nutrients.
I don't upvote them, there's way to many for one thing and one has to admit it may be to hard to decipher the one's who are starving starving from those who are just begging. There's been a couple two, three people though I try and always click and upvote because I know they really need the money, not that my vote is much if anything, but it makes me feel better, the difference with them is they really try hard to earn it. I've noticed they have just blossomed on here with their talents, doing much better then myself even but that doesn't keep me from looking at their stuff when I see it.
I think that's a good way to look at it, we each seek out that which interest us, sometimes I like checking out those who are less serious and I know I will get a good laugh, others for how they will inspire, or intellectually stimulate my thoughts. When I first came on here there was a guy who wrote good stuff he just wasn't that great with paragraphs, comma's etc., but if you went slow it was a good read. I don't see him around anymore, I think he gave up. I think that's important when people try, my son had what they said was a unspecified learning disability, you could sit and do his spelling words and he'd have them down pat but by morning he'd forget them all, I use to tell him that it's better to try then not try. That's why if I see someone really trying their hardest at the least I could do is give them some consideration to look at it, if it's good it should be rewarded with something.
