Sure a lot of people gain rewards just by being a link within a circle-jerk however in the main one must apply effort and expend a certain amount of energy to get anywhere. It's just the way it is.
Maybe. Sad truth on this platform seems to be you may apply that effort and try and work hard on your posts, but it's still the link in the circle-jerk that wins votes and you're left with three cents.
On Steem, we've carried over this idea we seem to have IRL as well - that surely, if you work enough, you will be rewarded. But often enough, that's just not true. Not much you can do about it, though, especially if you don't wanna be a quitter.
But the truth is, you'll work hard and do your best and you might well get shit for your efforts anyway...:/
Yep, we've spoken many times about this and you know I agree. Still, quitting isn't really in my nature and so I continue to write. When I stop enjoying doing so I'll simply stop, or take what's in my noggin elsewhere and leave the circle-jerk-wank-festers here to splurge all over each other. Until then, I'll wear a rain coat and gum-boots and hope to avoid being splurged on... 💦 💦 💦
Ew. Ew. Ew.
Bwahaha!
I have a spare rain coat for ya!...No gumboots though.
