@logic maybe I fall under "The leeches" hahaha...
"These are users who have come here for a quick buck."
But I am not here for a quick buck...I always POWER UP...
Those who have joined Steemit with whale connections (have acquaintances with some powerful users). They do not necessarily produce low quality content.
Yes I was introduced to Steemit by a whale...but if you read my "introducemyself" I made it clear that I used to make $0 for my posts...even very good quality posts when I started...that means the same whale doesn't always upvote me...and think that's fair...because I have to be rewarded for my hard work.
Many of their posts are of good quality.
I put a lot of effort in most of "My arduino fun projects" I post mostly about technology...Recently I also started with TIL...yes with "YT video link" but I express my thoughts and opinions before that video (like what @sykochica stated)...my main reason is to balance and not to be always "predictable"...that is why I also tried other categories...art, funny....
They seldom converse in chatrooms or comment on other people's posts (unless responding to comments on their own posts).
Like @countryinspired said:
I work a lot at my job and I have a wife and kids, so I only have about an hour each day to be on here.
Most importantly they seldom curate other users posts, especially minnows.
Well I upvote alot check my Voting power I think its 68% now and I resteem a lot...unfortunately i mostly focus more on technology which is my favorite topic.
I agree with your observations and I just needed to compare my activities on Steemit based on your views...and make you aware why other people behaive that way.
I measure my work based on Project @curie and a few times I have been given regconition... that means I am doing something good.
At least you are honest about it. I think that you are not completely leech as you obviously engage in some community interactions (like this comment :-] ). You probably shift between leech and observer.
But yes, your highly rewarded poor quality posts have been upsetting the creators.
Like this recent crap for 25 SBD:
https://steemit.com/technology/@mokluc/technology-that-excites-turn-your-arm-into-a-new-touch-screen
Or that for 35SBD:
https://steemit.com/technology/@mokluc/my-arduino-fun-projects-designing-quardcopter-drone-from-scratch-no-cheatboards-teaser-video
:-)
Regardless that they are about technology, they take 5 mins to create, max.
Hahaha "Like this recent crap" @logic thanks for your honest analysis...I am still new on Steemit and obviously will be following you and learning from you.
I'm quite straight forward with my language ;-)
Not all your posts were bad. Some were cool and interesting. Like this one:
https://steemit.com/science/@mokluc/hackathons-with-rapid-innovative-ideas-and-designs-are-solving-africa-s-problems
I'm not sure if I am that good example to be followed as there are much better creators than I am, but thank you. I would be very happy to be of any help in your learning process.
I am glad you not only focusing on the bad side...but giving credit were is due...Thanks will do
If I could give any advice right now. I would suggest giving source to every single picture that you use in your articles. For some you do, for some other you don't. Unless you use your own - then you can jsut state it is ours.
Also sources to information that helped you writing the article.
Hi @logic this just some of "recent crap" I posted listed on Project @curie.
2nd position twice this week only...through your honest analysis I will keep improving.
