@kyriacos is my fave blog here. He makse his own graphics that uniquely fit his content, in a creative infographic style. Plus the polemical tone with a hint of humour and uncomfortable truth. A rare style. He does get good rewards for what is not too contra-mainstream. Frankly I was surprised to see how mainstream some of the thought here is. Perhaps some concerns about public image, which are not needed on a platform whose content is the opinions of the users....funny how the monetary reward tho can look like endorsement of viewpoints....soooo just put a disclaimer that payout reward and trending page posts do not necessarily reflect the views of Steemit Inc!

yes @kyriacos stands out becuase he is one of the few who has decided to speak his mind no matter what the consequences are. Most people are not like that. He has a way of cutting through all the bullshit, and I do admire that quality of his. I wouldn't do the personal insults the way he does, but he certainly is someone who will never be a shill. That's respectable. I won't either. I'll go back to writing for startups......I actually already accepted a writing job...... But I'm not going to throw away 4 months of labor here on Steemit. I refuse to give up on this platform and I'll be here til the bitter end or something else blows it away......
yes he is absolutely fantastic ! I supported him for a long time.
Glad to hear, it would be a crash for steemit to have an early adopter who is also a pro writer quit. I hope that your posts also continue to get good payouts so you do have that incentive to stay, and that you dont get penalized for sharing your viewpoints via losing whale votes.
the whales have pretty much dumped me months ago. It's irrevelant, I'm not their whore. I was grossly overpaid actually. I know this. Everyone was overpaid who joined Steemit early on. We all knew it was not to last. We all expected it to die off eventually, and for most it did. Some early ones are still doing well. Many have quit or slowed down. Me, well, I write for a living so I'm still here.
I'm continuing to do what I did on Steemit from day one: write and post. I am writing because writing is my disease. I will never stop. @kyriacos has made me see this place in a new light: The Big Flushout Time. Despicable, self-centered, egotistical whales will die off. It may take some time, but if they provide no substance, they will be gone. This game is not for uber-controlling boys who fancy themselves as some kind of "gods". No, this place belongs to those who provide sweat and tears. People who give a shit about human decency and providing real value to others.
That's how I see it too. We see who stays for the community aspect and to enjoy the readership of who is active here. And the committed devs who have a human vision for the project.
It is encouraging to see people who belong to that group get the rewards, regardless of the politics.
yeah, agreed. It does still have a slimy residue though..............that's what I don't like.
I suggested kyriacos do a post about Anti-Vaccinaters. I knw that would be a damn good one. It's weird how steemit has such a scientific community yet also these psuedoscientific tinfoil hatters.some of whom will some day have dead children due to smallpox.
Now m just gonna find that app that sends out notifications and focus my upvote power on my faves and the regulars. Steemit can be like Cheers. We can all make fun of ourselves for showing up everyday
I do feel like there is a certain group of free-thinking people who appreciate scientific knowledge and who understand the basics of human psychology. This group tends to be the most intelligent group actually. We should be speaking in a steemit chat about working together......
yes! I always forget to log in to that. Which channel you suggest?
ha ha! You're hilarious! I agree with everything you said here! I think I"m going to start drunk posting and see what happens. I might start a different account for that though....
I did that the other day, wrote something personal as a response to honeyscribe and it was a fun interaction. I am usualy sober, but right now I'm getting loaded off wine as I write my next post!
To write under the same name for such things. I almost started a second account. Well, I made it. Too lazy to use two! hahaha
