You know, there’s also a lot of very good “how to succeed on steemit” and “my first month recap and what I Learned” and other helpful posts on steemit. I think maybe you’re a bit too focused on the complain posts and they stick out to you because they annoy you. Which is understandable, and I don’t blame you. But are you actually seeing all the great positive “help and encouragement” ones that pop up regularly too? :)
I don’t think it’s quite as bad or detrimental as you make it out to be.
Besides, with every new wave of steemit users that pass 1 month, 2 months, 3 months etc and are slowly building steam (pun intended) you also have a new wave of steemians who still have the patience to gently remind upvote and resteem beggars that they will not get very far with that behavior (I still do a lot).
I think people like @techslut who are getting flooded with that crap and are sick of explaining the same shit for about the 100th million time to seemingly no avail are completely entitled to draw a harder line at some point. They’ve earned the right to sit back a bit and let others do the gentle explaining.
I think we’re all “paying our dues” helping out and gently explaining stuff to super noobs (like we all once we) on “our way up” the steemit ladder.
Don’t underestimate the amount of patience people still have when they’re still “on the way” to where people like techslut already are.
I believe it’s a cycle and as long as we nurture it, things will stay more or less balanced out. :D
But that’s just my personal opinion :P
Yeah I'm for the positive ones. Those ones are good for steemit.
