hahaha yeah, people telling me they "want to get to be my close friend" followed swiftly with an "i love u mithrabdbf" and then someone chimes in with I'm their "inspiration" (would be mad cute if genuine but lol) it gets a little weird, and I don't even have a big upvote.
I actually wrote a whole post about the unfourtunate ass-kissing dynamics of the platform: https://steemit.com/speakyourmind/@mitthradiumn/sometimes-shit-gotta-be-told-its-shit-and-that-aint-really-shit-yknow
e: I do alright-ish on here and never kissed whale ass, I don't want to imply its necessary lol
I blog quite a bit, been doing it for about three years now and no where else have I seen it where I post something to no response...lol...so it's no wonder that a person from one of the blog sites felt compelled to try and dig up one of us to come over here and keep him company. He has a terrific sense of humor so it made it easier, the jokes abounded. I like people with a sense of humor, offer up some good sarcasms and just plain don't mind telling it how it is sometimes. I actually seen another on you link I decided to click to follow, may prove interesting. Since I've tried posting a few varied things to no avail I decided each day to find a post and see if there's people there that could fulfill my penchants for laughter and fun, sort of weed them out of the system so to speak because they definitely aren't showing up in droves to anything I have to say. lol. Needless to say a monetizing a hobby can drain the lifeblood out of it and the way this is set up sort of does that so the best next conclusion one can drawn is do I want to continue treating it like a hobby and have fun or let money murk it all up. So I decided that while keeping my blogging buddy company I'd seek out the fun people. Lots of times though while going through post the feeling comes over me that I should discard my chair for the floor and intermittently bow between post. I've entertained the idea of buying a floor rug but decided that all that well wishing karma may actually get if off the floor flying around the house to which I'd then be forced to explain to my family that I may have not gotten rich but at least I can fly.
Well, I may as well clear some things up: I am without a doubt the coolest, funniest, sexiest and most nimble person on The Blockchains.
also I can be pretty funny
The thing with the layout of steemit is that it can become extremely isolating, especially when one starts their SM experience by experiencing that isolation. Everything from the mechanics of the actual payout system to the numerous off-site "apps" which are essentially a requirement to use the platform at all profitably. Without so many words, the learning curve is steep.
And there certainly are an excess of broken english sycophants willing to say anything to get that SBD, Steem is big as hell, and I have ran into multiple little encloves of tight night crews (that yes, talk and emote like humans) as well as wonderfully bizarre weirdos simply by chance.
Before I go any further, do you have a Telegram or Discord? Discord is essential for Steem.it anyway, and I can tell you some more shit no one ever tells you for some reason (for discord i need the 4 digit tag, not username)
I don't have discord yet but I will work on that in the next couple days and get back to you. Thanks.
