This is a quote from one of your posts:
Upvote this post as much as you can and let me retire early so I can drink White Russians all day. Isn't that what we are all after?
I know you are going to say that you were just kidding but still I think this sums up your attitude pretty well.
I think that on a very deep level Steem is amazingly fair - those with a mindset that demands being rewarded will ultimately fail and those with a mindset that appreciates being given a chance will ultimately succeed.
I was not kidding really, but it was definitely ironic, that's what the site promotes, 20k payouts, spread the word, circle jerking, power up. It will be amazing to write 10 top trending posts and retire (yes I can retire with that much so imagine the obscenity that many poor people from developing countries have to see here everyday). The people earning that kind of money think they are chosen ones by the gods themselves because of their innate talent...and well who can't really blame them, I can't. I do, but I can't really.
I don't really care since I won't ever make any real money here, I'm not a native english speaker so I'm very limited in what I can post (the whole site is geared towards english language even if there are lots of people desperate to write in the own, as if that will get a whale to vote...
