On Steemit actions do have consequences. Funny I was just writing some about being nice and thoughtfull today so this totally adds in there.
Okay so this day started on that I was reading a Dutch facebook article on streetdebate and all 589 comments under this turned out into internetheroes calling each others names, diseases and other horror and so I stopped reading after like 100 comments. I am annoyed by the fact that nothing has consequences and that these people go to their job again on Monday and put on their better face like nothing of this ever was written down on the world of the interwebs.
You better face should ALWAYS be there if you want to A: get something done.. B:try to be a better human C:create a tiny bit of a better world
Now I think there is a difference in being nice and polite or being a suck-up. I can understand if you reach the higher reps you will have more suck-ups. Just as that if you work higher in a department also people will try to suck up.
I think we are perfectly capable of distinguishing if something is fake or not. And if not... is that even bad?
Aside from some of the fake elements we may have, because maybe they are undeniable. As a whole, it's a lot more complex than that. So yeah, even when some people are pretending (at least at the beginning) to be nice. Maybe eventually they find themselves enjoying it.... maybe.
