I’m not offended, just a little tired of hearing the same thing from those who have profited from the established tactics of bot usage and being noticed by whales. I do admit my outlook is not perfect and I’m open to hearing different points of view but this is one which I’ve only heard from users who have had relatively short grinds or who are some of the more powerful people on the platform now.
I’m sorry if I misquoted you or misunderstood you but when someone says you are using “crybaby hysterics” and you don’t agree, 40 minutes already feels like a long enough time to put into a reply. I have no need to prove anything to you. We can have our different opinions.
I do not frame things in terms of business and branding and I’m more interested in the idea of friends than “followers” and perhaps this is a huge handicap I give myself. You may want to call it foolish or too stubborn or even judge mental but my experiences and intuition led me to this point. About the facts. I saw taskmasters post and the evidence, I’m not refuting it but it seemed like a very negligible change to me and I don’t see any reason to believe that it is a “trend”.
I just want to see MORE dolphins on this platform because no matter how decent the dolphins and whales are, the fewer there are the longer and harder the grind is for most people and the more we are pressured to conform to tactics that don’t come natural to us. I see many people, whales and dolphins included doing the same thing, but as a minnow, I believe there is more that I can do than just appealing to them for help because hey are already spread thing. This is just an attempt at that.
I was not offended, and I only tell you that so you understand my tone was not angry, but I did come close to feeling offended, so thanks for giving me a nice challenge :-)
I think we're coming to an understanding here, I mean the longer I think about and look at your "Zombie Post Initiative" the more I like it. I have often thought about re-branding my older stuff, in ways like this and differently, and I see no real downside. If one were to use plenty of "Quote" markdowns and add new insights and opinions, I don't see where anyone would have a problem with a "remake" of prior content. I've seen some of my own that I think would do a lot better with my current audience.
I see a lot of positive stuff from you, keep that UP! It was meant as a nice challenge, and I know you can do it.
