When you arrived at the platform you had great expectations, you thought it would be very easy but the more time passes you notice that everything becomes more difficult, this can be the experience of many users who suffer seeing as their articles are lost in zero, their voting value is decreasing and even when their articles receive some reward they lose a lot with time, then the payment is fractioned. There are many arguments that when you put them together you think that everything revolves against your growth, if you are on the platform from this year I am sure that you will feel very identified with this, the reason is because the steem has been in decline so far this year and all the discomforts mentioned above are the result of that decline.
If you've been working hard it's not time to give up, the most important thing you've done is to become part of the community. As long as STEEM is close to the value of 1$ I recommend you to publish with the 100% option, not to think too much about the monetary reward but to enjoy as if you were in facebook, tweeter or any other social network where you are not paid, you will make many friends, maybe you will receive some coins that I am sure will acquire a lot of value in the future. The cryptomonedas are going through a bad time but this will not last forever and although many are discouraged and end up abandoning their accounts alone those who remain here will have reason to celebrate when all this of the return.
I was thinking a lot about all this today and decided to send this message of encouragement to all my followers. Let us continue in this fight, only the brave and intelligent will survive, so lift your face, take out your chest and keep moving forward. Greetings,
Un mensaje muy motivador!! gracias.
Gracias amigo, aunque no ha recibido mucha recompensa que digamos, se puede ver algo gracias a #busy y los pocos que han votado! Aunque lo importante es que el mensaje haga su efecto! saludos a tu esposa!
Yeah, I feel you @resteemiter. Not sure what to do, just continue I guess, but not think so much about any possible "financial incentive" at the end of the Steemit rainbow...
For now let's just look at the platform as a social network, make good friends. Explore articles of interest and leave good comments and try to improve your articles. Consolidating an account takes time and effort but is guaranteed to be rewarding in the long run. Abandoning is unthinkable, and even less so after all you've worked so hard!
I actually came here because I thought I could get some small change "micro-blogging" about random stuff, did not really feel attracted to the social-network part of steemit... Now I think commenting and chitchatting like this is quite fun...
steemit is more than just blogging and chat, there are contests where you can earn money and have fun, there are also many support communities and you can always complement it with discord. There's a whole world waiting for you. Even if you don't want to publish you can still earn money by supporting others with your upvote. Or you can use smartstem to sell your vote automatically, join a trail, make good use of the tags, there are so many things that make it special that I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else!.
I am as impressed with steemit.com functionality as you are my friend, but lot's of room for improvement, (like a direct-message function), I love the whole idea of making some crypto whilst having fun creating content or just writing replies to comments like this and such...
-Happy go lucky!
