It's just adding to the shitty feeling. I'm coming close to delegating away my SP to a bot and just walking away, which is unfortunate, but as each day passes... whatever. Clearly, since 99% of my following refuses to support my stuff, and so many don't even read, apparently, I'm just wasting my fucking time. Blah. I'm probably just tired. Grouchy.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I know the feeling, which is one of the reasons why I sold when prices were high and stopped posting, which, in turn, is why I can't give you big upvotes. It all fits together because money begets attention and more money, and content is just a side show. I am now an infidel who didn't hodl.
So, I wouldn't blame you if you did delegate away your SP to make more Steemses, but should you decide to publish elsewhere, please let me know where I can find your future stuff. I like it a lot, you see.
There's no real point in delegating just to earn and hold though. The whole delegating stuff and the way things work just means the value will continue to decline. That bull run means nothing. Remember they said these bots would increase the value because it would create demand? Look where the value is at today vs the value the days before we had these bots. I think it's lower. Of course it's going to be lower though. The ones buying the steem earn about 10% while those selling votes share the other 90%, and I'm sure they ditch more than 10%. Even with all of this development, there's no way those numbers are sustainable. The bots and vote sellers will literally fuck those developers too. How is this even a thing? Why am I even rambling about it... Who cares.
I doubt I'll publish anywhere else that involves crypto. Too much of my own business depends on the brains and actions of too many others and looking around these days, it's difficult to remain confident with this approach. I want it to work. I want to be here, doing this. The system is pushing me out. I'm working against the flow. I can't compete with shit posts due to bots and vote sellers, and I think I'd earn more by not working...which is so fucking sad in my mind, because I enjoyed this.
I don't know what to do. In limbo.

Maybe @katharsisdrill has some pointers for you, he publishes in several places with different reward mechanisms.
I would hate to see you stop publishing entirely.
I don't want to stop, I'm just grouchy about this flak. Seems to come up a few times per month. Then to brush it off, carry on, talk about the experience; first two comments are about not reading... I'm grouchy. Seemed like a big waste of time within minutes after publishing.
If the stupid with short attention spans annoy you, you have a hard life ahead of you. Maybe you should just add them to your mute list and then have another look at the comments you get. I don't know. Maybe it helps. You do have readers, you know.
What is white and runs through the desert?
I know there's good stuff going on, all is not lost. I have a bad habit of being distracted by the bad shit though. They seem to be amplified. I know people read and enjoy. Just grouchy today.
I don't know the answer after thinking about it for a couple of hours.
A herd of yoghurt.
Just going full comment circle here.
