Excellent perspective. Thanks for sharing as a reminder to many of us.
I've found there's a wide variety of content here - some great, a lot not so much. I also get sidetracked into thinking of the game more economically sometimes - which I'm sure a lot others experience too - focusing more on the dollar signs rather than the value aspect here...
Your perspective is inspiring, to realign focus back to the founding philosophy for the site - it is about value. And that doesn't mean just what'll get the most votes - but as you say, the gold is in the thoughts, the passions, the actions.
The more we focus on producing THAT kind of gold, the greater a goldmine this site will become.
So your post - whether intended or not - is an excellent call-to-action for all to step up their game in producing that kind of gold, outright stating that's what you're ready to throw down on and support. And in itself, those thoughts and the passion in your post IS a fine example of such gold.
😊👌🏼🙏
Wow, just wow! Came here to thank you for upvoting my pathetically lame newbie post. It is people like you that really GROWS the Steem community! You have inspired me to think about adding a lot more substance and value to my next posts! :)
Oops! Apologies, this was supposed to be a reply to the main post by fuzzyvest. Doh!
