I like all the points you covered. I even understand how you feel additional pressure. Well, to a point. I am not sure why I seem to be the only one saying this, but I have been saying it on the chain for ages. Have fun with what you do here, and not worry about the rewards so much.
I always thought social media was basically about the fun. Steemit was cool coz you could get a bonus, like the cherry one top. Not sure how so many people all of a sudden got the notion to make it their full time gig, their job.
I do have fun. A lot of it. It's not me thinking about the rewards, it's other people. Some see the total, forget half of that goes back to the community, you get called names like circle jerker and ass kisser, plus many others. Some will even say the votes are coming from alt accounts and the comments as well. You know you're you but the crazy types think you're me, putting on a show. Luckily it's a blockchain and honest actions are easy to prove.
The job isn't much fun but it pays the bills. I can turn a hobby into an occupation here, still have fun, and be fine with any outcome.
You're not the only one saying what you say.
Fair enough. I should point out, and I do this all the time, but I wasnt meaning you as specifically at you, but more of a "you all" as in folks on the chain. People need to lighten up and do their own thing. Thanks for the follow. I followed you too. Guess that means we are circle followers or follow jerkers lol.
Celebrate success and try to offer people the same opportunities by contributing as best you can. That's how I look at things here. Simple concept. Treat others like you are or want to be treated.
I've seen you around/heard of you. Thought I already was following and simply missing your posts.
I'll see you out there.
