RE: Steemit is Neither FAIR nor EQUITABLE — and Why This Post Will Never Make it to Trending

in #steemit7 years ago

Don't use bots. Don't even know how to use a bot. I'm fairly new, and so my opinion don't count for much, but I feel like at times it's a popularity contest here, and that quality writing has absolutely nothing to do with those who are popular. And thinking on this now....it is possible that some of those popular kids are using bots. However. When I run a contest giving away free steem and I hardly get any response and someone else, who joined the same time as me, runs the same contest and gets a shit load of response is what feeds my popularity contest theory. I am educated and can write, and when I create a post that I feel is some of my best writing, and it gets barely a peep response, but others post a stupid meme and gets tons response, is frustrating as hell! When I day response, I'm talking about comments, participation, etc. as any money made is just a nice plus. However part of being on Steem is supposed to be about interacting with each other and it's frustrating to me when I don't get that interaction. Some days it's like you're back in high school!!
