There is a reason for the 7.5% retention rate Steemit exhibits, and your post illustrates some of them. I am presently encouraging a flagger that never posts or comments (completely insulating them from flags) to voice their criticism, so that the community, as well as myself, might be informed as to their purpose in flagging me.
How can I improve without criticism? It is my most valued currency, and much of why I post. Like you I don't care much about money. Being right and just is far more important to me, and I hope that being flagged helps me to attain to those benefits, which it can only do if accompanied by forthright criticism.
I hope you find it possible to endure the problems Steemit presently suffers. I like the way you think, and would like to hear more of your thinking, which I will not if you quit posting and commenting.
Peace!
I agree. Honest critiscim is necessary for growth. It's been my experience though when those who put you down don't bother voicing actual facts or points of view, they fall into the second category: dicks to be dicks -- and I've found it's never worth my time getting them to explain. Those people actually thrive off someone trying to get them to do just that. They enjoy the fact that they caused the other person to "beg" for their attention. All in all -- it's sad.
I'm glad you enjoy the way I think. I think I just need to step away for awhile to decide later on what I will do.
if you need anything ask away :P
people are downvoters, well it's a long story if I start getting into it...
