I'm not worth much I've only been here like 2 months but if I see something I like I give it a up vote. The way I look at it is I can post whatever I want without censorship and even if it only gets a penny it's more than I ever got from Facebook. Also with a few cents to be made I actually take pictures of things never did that before.
Yes, the new people don't, generally, have steemvoters or streemian trails, these, imo, are issues because it disadvantages everybody else.
And you are right, squeaking about details often neglects the overwhelming fact that we are better off with a Steemit that allows the wealthy to rape the reward pool than we are without one at all.
I just dream of the day that steem is allowed to actually care about it's users, rather than be controlled by supporters of the status quo.
It isn't easy to get handed millions of usd and not be influenced by that.
That much money alters your viewpoint.
Lol I'm so oblivious as to what goes on here. I guess I never noticed this before because I stay out of hot or trending. I really only pay attention to the people I follow and who follow me.
I can only take sooo much of hot and trending, then I have to go to created just to get some normal back into my life.
I can only take so many 'look at me I canz travel' and latte arts before I gotta change the channel.
I know I should just let the matter go, but they keep claiming to support free speech, and the folks that speak it, and I hate liars, with a real passion.
Bullies get my goat, too.
My friend I write about interesting facts that in other social networks gaining a lot of views, but there is only a lot of accommodation. Just have to do everything sincerely)
Yep. they told me when I got here that only corporate safe posts would be rewarded, and they continue to double down on the policy even when it has driven users away twice now.
When hf19 happened and even I was making 20usd a post, folks were happy, the price exploded and the user sign ups, too.
Now, despite their policy driving down the price, and interactions on the platform, they continue to only support corporate speak.
Then they claim to support free speech, which is just an outright lie.
When the head of the organization is corrupt, the organization follows.
