First, thanks for your constructive criticism.
You are absolutely right, I should work more on my own blog. I hope that reading my philosophy posts (some of which are about my life experiences) helps people to think more clearly about their lives and the world around them, but I could also be more direct in my advice. To be honest, I lack confidence that I can help people earn more money as that's not the focus of my skillset. What I could (and should) do is be more direct in the help I can give people with literacy, writing style, research and citation skills etc.
It occurs to me that we we might both be being unfair with each other. I don't know how philanthropic you are with your time and money in the rest of your life, just as you don't know that about me. This is somewhat my fault on both counts, as I could research your background, and make my experiences and work more available on my blog.
It was unfair for me to make my point as I did. Yes, it is true that you have spent, in a short time, what would be for many people weeks or even months of their total income, on bitbots. But (I hope) this is unlikely to be the whole truth of your life and what you are trying to achieve here. Perhaps it is necessary for you to buy this attention and profile in order to effectively give back to the community of musicians and creatives that you wish to support. And it's true that you can't be an inspiration to people if you are invisible.
I won't promise to not criticise you in the future. But I will try to be fairer and more constructive - or at least walk away from my computer if I'm in a bad mood and comment later.
In the first place I thank you for leaving this comment and I agree with it. Your perception is quite correct, you are a philosopher and I respect thinkers a lot and there is a universal phrase that to be able to help others you have to be able to help yourself. I can guarantee that I've been able to help thousands of people along my career, but it's not something I need to talk about, I simply do it.... and I wont use names as a boasting promotion. I hope you make a lot of money with what you are doing, its only fair if you are genuinly dedicating your time to help and teach others and its because of this that I think that even thought we had this little miscommunication I'm actually making a friend on Steem. Im going to start following your work and I will try to support you as well my friend. Starting now lets both do our best to help others become better people, that is exactly what this world needs. Wishing you the best, we are in this Steem journey together after all.
Interesting discord. @chbarist , you do understand why there is negativity about doing the amounts you are doing on bid bots correct? Your numbers are so high that it creates large negative returns, and just moves wealth to the bidbot owners. I'm not sure why you would pay so much to promote your posts with a negative ROI, but you could still reach trending and lots of people with smaller bids which wouldn't make it so negative for other people. Second part is the fundamentals of steem , if you put in 200 and get 400 like a cash machine out you are essentially creating an inflationary state and decreasing the value of steem, also that kind of behavior means the long term stability of the currency will be very low., nobody will have value for a currency that you can just put some in and get a bunch back infinitely. If you are here to just pump and get out, which is highly possible with being here so short of a time and getting as much as you can, then people who want to see the long term health will view that as parasitic and be angry. That behavior means your investment will lose value, so it is also self-defeating :/If you think anyone would do it if they could, that's just not true, there needs to be balance and some of us know that is the most important part. Also, to introduce yourself to a community by pumping your very quick, non effort posts (if they were more substantial , there would be A LOT less issues) in our faces, while also showing us that you treat the platform like a casino is not really a way for people to see your true heart , unless that is your true heart and then we have seen it. :/
I have no intention of leaving the platform but respect your opinion because it is only an opinion about me. Why do not you start reading the chapters I'm still going to write? I've already written the first one and I'm sure they'll help thousands of people who can capture the messages I'm transmitting. A lot of success for you!
