I agree. Steemit is a social media blogging platform. It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of platform. Anybody have a right to be here, whether they can write an award winning article or not. I've met some people here who have amazing stories to tell, it's just that they do not speak English well. Does that make their stories any less important because they can't phrase them properly? So, yes, quality is very much subjective. Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting to support your friends or support those who support others as long as there's nothing abusive about their content.
Btw, thank you for reading some of my stories and leaving such encouraging comments. It inspired me to write more stories. :) This is also why we should keep on supporting newbies so they do not quit even before they could even start. We should encourage them to share more. And instead of pulling them down, why not give them give them words of encouragement to help them improve?
Steemit is not the only social media blogging platform nor will it be the last one, but what makes it stand out is that it has a group of people who goes out of their way to support newbies like me. If it weren't for these people, I would have probably quit on my 2nd post. The only way this community can thrive is if we help each other.
Hi @chineyes. I appreciate you stopping by!
Definitely not. Although for some curation guild, they do knit-pick those details. In my opinion, everyone should be supported since steemit is a worldwide platform. As you will learn though, community is a very big aspect on here.
I too believe the only way any newbie will stay and grow on this platform is with the right support. I joined the Newbie Resteem initiative because I feel many of the individuals in our community truly do care about helping others. We may not get around to helping everyone, but we try to help with what we can.
As for your writing, you are really good. Although your last post didn't get curied, I already know some curators have their eyes on you. So continue writing great content. Just remember that curie likes long posts, polished formatting, and all i's are dotted and t's crossed. ;) They also look to see if the author is posting often so try to dredge up some writing time in between mommy time and produce a kick-ass post every couple days.
I'm glad you didn't give up!
Hmm. If we're talking about curation guilds then, yeah, I agree that the post has to be polished...and it would be really nice to get curated by one of these curation guilds. lol
Thanks for the encouragement and support. I do try my best to squeeze steeming in as much as my son permits it...meaning when he sleeps. haha
I'm glad I didn't give up too. :)
