RE: Steemworld My favorite STEEM tool

in #steemworld7 years ago

how cool that you came to visit my blog. I am a long time fan and glad to see you are now doing weekly posts for support. And you fixed that but already, you rock because this video is very fresh.

Thanks for the tip on opening the section.

I have to thank you! You were one of the first on Steemit who promoted my tool by making a video about it. I didn't miss that but I saw it a month later or so, because in that time the mentions module wasn't ready yet... ^^

Have a nice week!

Just back from vacation and "dropping in" to find this post. Thank you @steemchiller, for your bit of history here on @paulag's support.

You've provided an opportunity to thank you both for all that you do for our Steem Community!

All the best to you!!

I know nothing about your project but I see you are struggling and have fans. Try your best to post a daily update instead of weekly. People will put you on their autovoter and you can at least get something coming in that way.

You can do a fairly similar post each day and get whitelisted by cheetah so you do not get dinging in that way.

Make yourself a template and just change a few things each day.

Do you really need to use the popup 50x a day? It's a bit 1999. Or like that popup Cookie warning. 1 time is enough.

Or it will become new Jimmy Wales meme:

As long as you didn't vote my post, the popup will show up once at every start. It's my product and it's free. Instead of voting your own comment you could have supported my work ;)

Nothing is free. That popup steals valuable time and it's begging. If it would be free it wouldn't have e-beg popups. By using your service I support your work. What you should do is you can be more transparent with how much exactly you need. But nobody likes 1999 popups or cookie warning type messages

By using your service I support your work.

Please explain how you are supporting my work, when you are putting extra load on my servers? Hilarious.

By spending time on your stuff I support you since time is the most valuable thing in this existence. You are also entitled. Either take a cost for the service or do not. But 1999 popups do not belong in 2018

No, but really, "by using time on your stuff, I support you" isn't really a fact. Time spent on something usually indicates that a user will become a supporter, but the site doesn't benefit from you using it. Now, a case could be made that, if you promote to others that it's a great tool, you're supporting it, because somewhere down the line someone will recognize that he needs financial support. But just using the tool doesn't make you a supporter. When I donate blood, is the person who gets my blood a supporter? When the garbageman takes your trash, does that make you his supporter?

Here's another if. If his site had advertisements that paid him based on impressions, then just using the site would make you a supporter. But he doesn't. I think we're all too used to ad-supported content, that we've started to believe that just using something makes us a supporter.

It doesn't. An upvote costs so little. Just do it.
