RE: I finally introduce myself. It took me time to do so :)

in #introducemyself7 years ago

While it's true attractive people attract others to view posts, the purpose of this type of post is to show others you are a real person. I'm nothing special and my introduction did fairly well. It's more important here that you're authentic.


Here's mine. Authenticity matters.

P. S. Welcome!

Sort:  

Yep, I am a real person and everything written there is 100% true. I even admitted that the pictures aren't mine. There was no need to do so and nobody would notice.

I just wantet to point out that a lot of Steemians don't read what is actually written in the article. Just like you. You upvoted this post even before reading and then you took your vote away. Why don't you upvote something after reading it?

On Steemit the order votes come in matter when calculating curator rewards. If I think a post will do well I vote first then read especially if it's new. You are correct that your post has the makings of doing well. From what I've seen attractive women do well in introductory posts. But, most introductory posts do well if they are authentic. One thing that is part of good etiquette on these posts is to include a photo of yourself with a dated piece of paper to prove your account is not going to be a bot account.

tldr; Be authentic, clickbait is for buzz feed.

I did not attached a photo of myself but I did admit it. Everything written in the post is true I didn't make anything up. The post is authentic.

And we both see how it works, you saw an attractive women and upvoted the post hoping for curator reward. Thats what people here do. How shall we create a worthy content if that what matters are pictures?

Btw is tldr your regular argument? I won't waste my time replying then.

I think we are having a breakdown in communication here. I'm using authentic in the meaning of genuine. I know you wrote that post and that the content of it are real. Adding fake photos is disingenuous even though you said they weren't you. As far as the tldr that was summing up my post not yours. I'm not trying to be argumentative just helpful and sorry if my messages have been conveyed wrong.

Well, I am sorry for the misreading, English is not my mother tongue.

Anyway, pictures lure people here to upvote without reading anything. That was what I wanted to point out. Chceck the comments of the others here. I guess all of them voted but none of them read, otherwise they would reacted in a similar way you did.

People usually mind the curating reward and vote for posts that should be popular instead for post that are actually valuable.

In such conditions the content doesn't really matter and Steemit loses its drive. It's more Facebookish, not what Steemit was intended to be.

I agree there are some definite issues with the way their curator rewards work. Also it's obvious I am the only one that read your post. You should try one with a selfie holding a sign that says "Hello Steemit! I'm Godfish! (date of day posted). You might just be surprised! I know about 70% of the people that replied to me probably didn't read it on my post but the people with lots of voting power do for sure! Again welcome, I'm also trying to learn the ropes here!

I have never made a selfie and I am not about to begin with it for a couple of bucks :) thank you for the suggestion anyway, I am sure it would work.

This post met my expectations regarding the (not)reading, that was its purpose. Plus the text was ment for my Czech mates mainly, to whom I dedicated even the first introduce myself post that was in Czech only. They deserve to know me better whilst Steemit mainly don't give a minute or two to finish reading.

Anyway, as this post was true, my offer to take you or anybody else around in Prague is still on. I will probably have bought the monocycle by the time you arrive :)
