Steemit is frustrating to me because it's so hard to think of good content, and then when you do have something good it most likely will get no love. It's difficult to be seen in this sea of whales and dolphins when you are only just a mere minnow
I mean let's face it, people are catching on to Steemit because of money. I've seen one of my friend mention a few times how there is a big influx of new users coming to this platform. And i would say a good portion of those people are strictly here because they heard about the possible cash they might be able to rake in.
Some people post porn
I even came across a user who strictly posts porn.......every post is NSFW,
Lol
I'm not sure if this is completely allowed, but it just goes to show you what people are trying to do, they are just looking for the money. And i won't lie, i am too. I think we all are here (at least to some to degree) to make money from our content. But some of us actually appreciate the art in creating rich content, so it's kind of a slap in the face to have to compete with people who are just here for the money.
Another thing, People are not treated equally,
Some people are greedy. For the few days I've been here, Have seen some people who want everything to themselves, they want it now and still come back for more.
I have seen a whale used derogatory words for a group of people on a chatting app. You know why he can do that? Their combined is probably not up to half of his own and they can't try shit with him.
Flagging is definitely the most obvious flaw of steemit. Before flagging can work in the system, then everybody's flagging has to be equal and separated from voting power. I mean you can't really expect a minnow of less than 500 SP to flag a whale of over 200,000 SP.
Flagging as it is like giving power to some people to do as they like. Even if they are abusing the system, not many people have the power to call their blunt...so what's the need?
Even if we don't have the same investment, we should have the same power to decide what is good or bad for the platform.
So apparently i'm trying trying to understand this whole blogging thing and how to write them cohesively. I will say it's not easy! and its equally as frustrating, but i'm always up for a challenge. And when there is a challenge in front of me i usually destroy it!
Well thank you for reading.
Marli,
If you consider that Steemit is a social network so one important thing is interaction, maybe more than the content quality. Thanks and good luck again!
That what i was going to tell her
Smartest Thinker Marli, yeah, agreed, it is a small world after all, hehe, great song. I'm Oatmeal. Yeah, some only post porn? Huh. Yeah. As Steemit grows, like Facebook, so does the variety therein as represented in the different kind of people as seen in the variant levels of IQ and DNA as @Stefan.Molyneux puts it in his videos.
But yeah, there are some great people out there haha. Are some people maybe too selfish, greedy, bad, crazy, etc? Yeah, maybe. But like true love, there are some better people out there too. Hope you find them.
