RE: Don't ever let someone tell you what you can do, and who you are

in #philosophy7 years ago

The reality is that there is no average life-span here at Steemit, since as the interest on the page rises and falls according to market prices. I have met quite a few nice people who have left for different reasons, although I could not define a line as average.

The best thing that I have learned during the months that I have been here, is that if you publish, you must do it for yourself, you should write about what you like and what you could write for yourself, because many publications will not have visits or rewards . But if it persists it is very likely that you will find the right audience, because in Steemit there are simply all kinds of people.

Sort:  

So, even if we can't quite speak of "camps" there may be a divide between die-hard community builders (Steemit as one happy family) and bandwidth seekers?

Many people are also part of the two, everything depends on incentives. If it becomes too expensive (many time and few profits/visits) to stay here, people will leave, even those who stay do so because of the incentives to stay.

Even people who might qualify as "die-hard community builders" have left because they have been disappointed or lost incentives.

On the contrary, many others have stayed here when the market falls, although they are for money, they see the distant possibility of earning more.

As I said in a comment recently.

Well, we are all here partially or completely for the money, even those who stay, the difference is that those of us who are staying trust the Steem in the long term and that is why we know it is beneficial to stay, while many others are simply looking to take a quick slice and when the Steem gets depressed, then they leave.

It is complicated.

Yes, complicated. I might call upon you later (in 7 weeks) for advice on what to do with my steem when I leave.

Well, I'll be happy to help if you ask for my advice, although in 7 weeks you may change your mind. Greetings.
