Yes, you are expecting too much. Sorry, that came out harsh.
I think a lot of people love the social side of Steemit but let's be real - even more people are here just to make money...
That's what happens when you tell people that they can make money by posting and then send them to the Trending page with articles making hundreds of dollars. One of the entrepreneurs I know did exactly that and now he is trying to make money here by automating everything. Even the comments. He doesn't see the value in creating relationships here unless the people are whales...it's kinda sad because I also love the interaction. I might like it even more than actual posting.
I guess you should just find a handful of people and bond with them. In real life, people also don't immediately build relationships, it takes time...
Anyway, say it out loud and move on, it's not worth to be too pissed off about things you cannot change ;)
That's the biggest issue I see too. People are just trying to get on the whales radar for the upvote or reputation increase...
I agree with you, the interaction is fantastic and so much value in it. Would love to see more people engaging with the 'minnows' per se because they are the future of the blockchain here. The 'happier' they are the more they will spread the word about Steem, which makes it a win win...
Engage daily for sure :)
That is the plan!
Engage daily and rock the world. Maybe one day, a thought will inspire someone and make something profound that may change our way of life for the better! ^0^
I probably am expecting too much. Just some thoughts that rolled through my head last night and thought I would turn them into a post and see what folks like you had to say.
Thanks
I would also suggest don't take it too personally. Perhaps we're the better steemians ^o~
"Be the person you want to meet" I'm sure there's plenty of steemians that would appreciate the time, effort and care. Mayhaps like Nuturing others will help them grow and we'll mutually grow too ^0^
I dunno, but I'm hopeful
