Upvoted for brutal honestly. Really, they should force everybody to read this as a tutorial before they give them an account. Of course, it's really long, so it would be like the Apple TOS that nobody reads or really cut down on the number of new accounts.

What you should have been clearer on is that when stupid people see that your post is earning over $100, it suddenly seems better. I've read some of the most appalling drek, and people are falling over themselves to congratulate the author because they are too dense to realise how the payout got so high. Get a post to $200, and people act like you are a rock-star. Get it to $500+ and people act like you are some sort of divine being, and generally fail to notice your shoddy logic or spelling mistakes.
Alternatively, people know that paid content is shit, but they suck up in the hope of a 0.2 SBD upvote from their betters to brighten up their empty, empty lives.
Thanks. I like to think I can be underrated in a range of situations and settings.
Please accept my bounteous $0.01 upvote. I predict that it will be worth at least $100.00 by the time your comment pays out and that we will all be millionaires, finally allowing privileged crypto-nerds to solve world hunger using trickle-down economics.
Jesus, how many mg of modafinil are you on?
I'm on 200 mg and I still have a hard time keeping up with you...
Maybe I should just eat some more paint chips, and finish reading your little novella...
You are quite an entertaining jerk, I like you.
Edit:
better content=better steemit=higher value steem=It's going to get more expensive for me to buy my way into trending, so I don't know... 😸😸 =)
Yeah, hmm I get modafinil from my doctor,(probably because I was eating to many paint chips as a kid). Never tried Wellbutrin, my doctor wanted me to try it out, but I was afraid of getting problems with the "schlong"... Never tried noopept, but that looks like a very promising supplement.
I swear I didn't have this beard when I started reading (shrugs).
I don't know why I have some sort of ethical block to using bots.
Having heard the mantra that 'good content consistently' is the key to success on steemit, It seems a little depressing its practically mandatory to use them in order to get ahead now. Your explanation, however, is absolutely logical. That key may have been true a year ago, but with many more people now posting here, you have to make yourself seen!
I appreciate your honesty, and realise I just used big words above and just screwed one of your other points... DOH!
Anyway, seems I've got to somehow get hold of a fistfull of dollars from somewhere to bot the hell out of a good post. Roger that.
Have a vote worth half a cent and a follow, you deserve more!

Irony, sarcasm, innuendo. You are a humorous dude.
I learned a lot from this post, I still have to go back and look at some of the links, you know once the paint chip bowl is refilled and I have a spare two weeks, it could happen!
As a minnow, I am still learning my way around. Your pointers on style and form seem important.
I notice you only sparingly referred to the community aspect, the circle-jerking paint chip eaters, I clearly need to read some of the links for a better understanding. That said, how important is community to your steemit experience?
Another commenter mentioned it, but when people see big numbers at the bottom of your post, they associate it with quality. Doesn't matter if you took a picture of your last shit, they'll still tell you it was amazing. Until it becomes openly stated that you basically have to pay for exposure here, this won't change.
That said, if you actually create a quality piece of content like I'm trying to do, then you'll get people leaving genuine comments. This is what I consider "community."
A lot of people still think that if they leave 200 word comments that it will do something for them. Let me tell you now my brother, one thing matters on this or any platform: visibility. Do people see you? Do they know who you are?
And when you DO get them to see you, did you make an impression?
If you can do BOTH of those things AND have a little money to spend on promotion, then you will succeed here. Or if you're a sexy girl.
I really didn't find this article too long. I enjoy a good read. It's nice to disconnect from the anxiety ridden world of distraction by becoming immersed in some good text.
Personally, I've tried to cater a bit to the attention deficit community by keeping my posts short, sweet, and to the point, but at times, I often feel like a sell out by doing so.
I feel I'm a tad bit better at writing than your average Joe. If you don't agree, I simply don't care. I like how you keep it real too, so I'm ok with you calling me a chode if you like.
Perhaps the simple language you suggest isn't a bad idea. I do try to get crafty with big words sometimes, and only a select few can really comprehend that shit, I have to remind myself. I also proof read about 3 times, and still find errors. I guess I'm just dyslexic as fuck. Oh shit I actually spelled that right without a damn spell check? wtf..
Luckily, I can type with retard speed.
The only thing I haven't done much with is paid upvotes, and this is due to me being a broke ass minnow. I pay for a few upvotes here and there with like 0.1 SDB and I also realize that this is pretty redundant, but it may get me a few extra views, and upvotes.
I realize I'm turning this comment into a fucking blog, so I am going to stop now. I enjoyed this, Thank you.
We are happy to be part of the APPICS bounty program.

You thought you could come here, post about your stupid life and people would give you magic internet money. Then you'd be able to quit your shit job and go live on the beach somewhere, living off the income from your poorly-written articles that nobody reads anyway because they're too busy scrolling to the bottom of your post to make $0.01 upvoting their own low-effort comments.
I´m new here. Didn´t know that it is working this way, but thank you for your work!
I will keep on reading your stuff, very informative.
I´d like to get in contact with more members of the community, any tips?
I should just invest in buying paint chips to force feed people, maybe they will, by some miricle, start to find me entertaining once they start to lose enough brain cells.
How do we not know each other? or maybe we do. I also live in Thailand. Are yo n Bangkok? Are you an American? Anyway thanks for the helpful rant dude. A questions for you because I am still trying to figure the SP SPD Steem stuff out. You said" And god forbid you made the same mistake I did and convert it into SP - you'll never get that shit back lol." can you elaborate on this for me? Thanks. And I figured out about the bots and am testing them now. Thanks again.
The problem with converting to SP is that you need huge huge amounts for it to matter. I'd rather make actual fake money that can potentially be used in the real world, not fake fake money that can only give other people actual fake money. 13 weeks for a power down? Meh.
I could be wrong but it looks like you're a girl. Just post some pictures of yourself and talk about your life. You'll do fine.
First of all thanks and yes I am definitely a girl. And yes it is bad here in Bangkok . I am actually moving North with my family this year. Beautiful right by the water. Please expand on one thing you said. Sorry I am still learning. So you use bots to upvote your posts and the money comes back to you as Steem Power and Steem dollars. If you do not power down, how do you get money off the platform? Thanks in advance.
When I hit the sponsor link, I got a message from the CEO himself Jose. He said he was here to help me on my journey. You’re using social media the right way. What’s the easiest way to get in contact with you where you reply the most often? Email?
Do you actually believe that anyone can write a post like that? No. So what does that make you? A genius? Maybe.
If every one of the million or so Steemians in the world wrote posts like that then we'd have no time to eat paint chips (I'm not sure what paint chips are btw- some strange american shit I'm guessing)
Let me add- I'm very new to this site and still enjoying a honeymoon attitude to it. I thank you for pulling me back down to earth. I was looking for the down side of Steemit.
But fuck it man, you still have a tiny bit of positivity for the site- you're still using it if only to promote your sponsors. Surely it can't be all bad???!! :)
Nowhere in the post did I say Steemit was bad. I just tried to dispel some illusions that some people still have of this place. Don't think in terms of positive and negative. It is what it is, and you can either use it to your advantage or not.
Bless you, my child. As my disciple, your first act is to give me all the money in your bank account and worldly possessions. Also if you're a girl, send nudes.
What did I just read?! I have no idea but it was definitely entertaining. And not not entertaining either. Too? I love that I can’t figure out exactly how sarcastic you are. Well, to answer the last question, I do think better content will make Steemit a better platform, but I’m not really sure what good is anymore. All I know is, and I think you might relate to this with all those fucking paragraphs about journaling (!), that I am enjoying the hell out of writing more consistently than I ever have in my life. That makes me feel good. Like reading and running. So if I’m making some cash while doing all three, then so be it. Better than making Zuck rich, right?
Ah that was refreshing! Long and I ran out of paint chips to munch on while reading. I like the great way you explained the circle jerk way of gaming the system.
I love Steemit. It does for me what MySpace did for you in your diary writing days. It lets me open up my storytelling dreams, and well, tell stories. I'm not here to make money or play games. I'm here to have fun and maybe get a few people to read my stories.
All content sites do well with good quality content; except where shit content gets promoted to the Trending page, content creators don't make reasonable dough and get tired of seeing scammers rape the reward pool.
worth reading. I really enjoyed while reading.
enjoyed what?

It’s easy to say but worst to make it done. 👩🏼
"hard to do", you mean.
Glad you got those upvotes though. It was definitely an astute assessment and insightful comment about this post...... ....
worst.
Jesus, I think I will just hide myself in toalet and cry 😂
But I respect your opinion. 😍
Best regards for you.
Nice
Free space for expression with respect This will make the platform more productive
I liked your style .. for more creativity

What you should have been clearer on is that when stupid people see that your post is earning over $100, it suddenly seems better. I've read some of the most appalling drek, and people are falling over themselves to congratulate the author because they are too dense to realise how the payout got so high. Get a post to $200, and people act like you are a rock-star. Get it to $500+ and people act like you are some sort of divine being, and generally fail to notice your shoddy logic or spelling mistakes.

Jesus, how many mg of modafinil are you on?
I'm on 200 mg and I still have a hard time keeping up with you...
Maybe I should just eat some more paint chips, and finish reading your little novella...
You are quite an entertaining jerk, I like you.
Edit:
Brother I ran out like a week ago. And sadly this is my natural state. When I was running low I'd only take 25mg/day. Most I ever took per day was 50.
It's all about the Wellbutrin + Noopept though.
Yeah, hmm I get modafinil from my doctor,(probably because I was eating to many paint chips as a kid). Never tried Wellbutrin, my doctor wanted me to try it out, but I was afraid of getting problems with the "schlong"... Never tried noopept, but that looks like a very promising supplement.
I know it's frowned upon (by whales and dolphins who all ready "made it" on steemit) to "spam" peoples comment section, but this proposal is relevant to steemit and your clever sarcastic criticism...

Steemit is a microcosm of the universe- maybe
Seems like we gotta hate the game and just end up milking the system with upvote bots till this place drops.
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shiiiiiiiiiii......... ttttttttt!
I swear you just got yourself a fucking disciple!
I won't say nothing about all what you just said, and
Errr... I may not click on all those mudafucking links you know...
Buh lead the way lord, your disciple will fucking follow!!!!
Never believed i would say this, but i got myself a favorite steemian finally. Phew! Damn! 👍👍👍👊👊👊🔫

Is everyone a bot here?
Yes
Most of the responses seem too generic...
Nice post. I love this
just starting out here, but so far interesting content is hard to find
