CA-CO-CO thanks for pointing this out and showing great restraint!
Love Ya!!! :* <3 Ur the best, by the way! :D
thanks @underground
I just don't want to see someone who is on the same side of truth, not understand how Steemit works and then not succeed here.
Thanks for your kind words.
I appreciate you! Thanks
I think you handled it very well, dear lady... <3
Does seem a little crazy that I get only 58 cents for this. I wanted to see how lucrative it was to use steemit. I've worked on social media for thousands of hours and have never made a dollar... I used my own following to get this article out to thousands of people. I made a video that was seen by 500,000 people in a couple days on facebook and instagram. Instead of being praised for raising awareness.. I've only been shit on in the comments over here it seems. I did add a lot of my own original content to this story, put the puzzle pieces together and once again, used my own following on social media to get this story out to 100's of thousands of people. I don't do this for credit, I do it to influence people, and that's what a true leader does. A true leader does not need credit. I understand your initial concerns and I appreciate it, but i still think the backlash on here from a few people is a bit ironic when we're dealing with the survival of the species at risk and most people being in the dark on this issue.. Anyways... I influenced people and hopefully saved some children's lives with the video I made and article I wrote.... so I'm happy with the result.
I just now noticed that you did edit your post giving a reference to my original post. Thank-you!
I really wish that you had pointed that out to me as soon as you changed it.
As to the 58 cents,
that is the way that it works here on Steemit.
People will not vote on a piece that has been copied from other work, without credit given. Usually those posts get flagged invisible.
You can not base your experience with Steemit on this one post.
Also, it is completely normal for your first several posts to not be seen by a large audience on Steemit. It usually takes a long time to build up an audience.
However, I do go looking for posts tagged 'vaccines.'
As to you being dumped on, that was not the case.
The person being dumped on was somebody who used his flags to flag all of my comments, plus left an insulting comment to me about being a hall monitor.
Fortunately, I do not abuse my flag power. Not that flagging a copied post would be abusive, because that is my right and is what most people here in my shoes would have done. But I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and give them a chance to acknowledge their mistakes and fix them.
Like I said, I really wish that I had known earlier that you did try to fix your mistake by adding in a link to my original post.
Have you ever experience someone copying one of your post and passing it as their own? No matter how many % of it was copied.
It has happened to me and it was an awful experience.
You claim you should have been praised for raising awareness but instead according to you, you got shit on.
Raising awareness doesn't necessarily lead to being praised. This is flawed logic.
Someone can raise awareness by closing a bridge for a couple hours, sure they'll raise awareness but piss off a lot of people at the same time and if nobody care about the awareness that has been raised it'll piss people off even more.
When we do something that displease someone we don't get to chose if we displease them or not, that's up to the other person's perception of things.
About the potential payout to your post, your post got paid less than 1$ for now. Some people have worked more than 10 hours on some post and got paid less than your post. Some got paid thousands $ for really bad post.
Nobody is entitled to receive anything on Steem no matter how. It's like anywhere else on that matter.
Again, if we displease someone it's not something we get to chose. We might conclude their reaction to be illogical and explain why we think so and if we aren't able to convince them then we should move on.
I'm glad you are able to raise awareness on some stuff but your reply was something I would ask forgiveness if I were the person who wrote it.
No, I'm not saying I should be praised. I'm saying I don't care and I do it to influence people positively. I worked for 12-24 hours on my article/video/meme posts that I made. The point I was making was the main discussion on here had to do with whether or not I copied an article and focused no attention on all the work I did myself and the positives. It was all just negative for the main part. And yes, I've experienced people taking my work. Some of the biggest guys online have taken it, and at the end of the day, it's a compliment, because I'm influencing leaders in a positive way. That's the goal.
This implied that you expected to be praised.
I think we pretty much understood your main point as you had it pretty much explained it pretty well already.
You haven't acknowledge the ill feelings you caused and this won't help you or your message.
That is your assessment of the situation.
I don't know what is your main intent here.
Your reply convey frustrations. Let's acknowledge that. And good for you to having reacted the way you did with those who took your work without first acknowledging you as the author.
Again not acknowledging the ill feeling we cause in other people rarely helps if ever.
Edit: You tried to raise awareness to a potentially problematic practice that is vaccination. I recognize that and the reason we here read your post it's because we look at every post that is posted in the vaccine tag. I'm pretty sure Canadian-Coconut must allocate most of the reward for this tag. She has taken a lot of heat for raising awareness on the subject. We welcome you and she simply warned you that she didn't appreciate you not mentioning her work. If you would have mentioned her work, mentioned that a certain part of your post was coming from her post, linking to her post and mentioning why you were doing it this way, things would have been very different.
You're welcome here. We all want our message to be heard. You have your place on Steem. Everyone has.
not acknowledging her work
I'll give you an example right now, one page on facebook called exposetheilluminati, I saw that they took my meme that went viral and put their logo over mine. Instead of getting mad I wrote them privately and said I see you like my meme and put your logo on it. I told them I'm glad to be influencing them and I don't care that they took it, because the important thing is to positively influence. You know what happened? They added me as an admin and I can now write articles and make posts on there, with over 180k followers. So, don't think that I'm speaking here without experience. And in that scenario, the only work that person did was add their logo on mine. In this scenario I literally put in tons of work and provided information that a lot of people didn't have until I put the pieces together.. so it's not like I took someone's work and put my name on it. Far from it. But with that story you can see the difference. I'm not saying coconut did anything wrong here. But I'm telling my story and being honest.
Yeah, that's why I said don't worry about the hall monitor cliques around here. I don't appreciate their bullying tactics. You are out there attracting people to steemit with your crossposting of your content and this bullshit is what potential steemit users see from the established users. Like I said before, keep doing what you are doing, if you encounter haters and enemies it's like a video game, you are headed in the right direction.
I'm sorry, but I have to ask...why did you upvote blaineb's comment if you love @canadian-coconut? Not only did he insult her with that comment, he also flagged the comment that you're praising for restraint.
Sorry, the guy just really got under my skin,especially after Linda was so gracious about this whole thing. (She's a good friend of mine, I tend to get overly defensive of my friends)
PEACE, @dreemit! I was not upvoting the "hall monitor" comment, just the welcome. @blaineb is also a friend of mine... I am just here trying to "moderate" the whole thing, not really taking sides. My U-V power is mostly delegated out, btw. Glad to see you have Ca-Co-Co's Back! She's really an awesome lady, good to have friends like you. I'm just trying to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative ;)
PS: Follow for You, btw ;)
Gotcha. I completely understand, I've found myself in that predicament a couple of times here- friends with two people on opposite side of an argument, playing peacekeeper :) I'm not a fan of negativity myself, and I realize by responding to his comment I was perpetuating it a bit, but if there's one thing I'm less of a fan of it's people dumping on those I love :)
Thanks for the response, and the follow. I'll definitely check out your page
Thanks for this uplifting message :D
...and checking out my content!
The white knight doesn't quit, LMAO!
