Yet the truly good is summarily surpassed by the torrent of absolute shit posts, flagrant reward pool abuse and early-adopting whales who've decided they're the ones to decide the rules of engagement. Step outta line and they'll punish you. Speak up in defense and they can easily destroy you with no more than a passing thought and petty flag, or twelve, or precisely as many yet-to-payout posts as you have on your blog.
I Totally agree with you , and also I am using bots or else I would be making .020 a every post , and being dependent of a whale to notice you is just nonesens , I mean giving them power like that is just crap , they never answer and they have their own circle , thye do not notice you . I would like minnows to be aware of that , steemit sometimes feels like another place where if your not popular and do not get in line you will be on the bench , its a high school musical . Its as if you have to praise the whales or you will never make it , and loads of people are there giving you advice so whales can notice you ... La gerbe as we say in french , la gerbe .
I have made good connections here though and I read wonderful stuff , I discover people , like you today :) I want to be here on the long term and see but sometimes I just feel like giving up !
Steemit needs you. ;)I'm grateful to have been found by you @crypto4iso. Indeed, it has become so much more about the personal connections than anything else. Please don't give up!
