Honestly I am confused on how I feel. I know it felt like a punch in the gut. I know that the negative ramblings of some people that I did not agree with turns out to be true and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Yet the logic behind it is sound. The reason for him is right for him.
A couple weeks back I was feeling a bit down because I was writing content which I believed were good. Not the best but in my writing experience I thought it conveyed my feelings, my thoughts and give people a glimpse of my soul. Yet I was not getting a lot of traffic or comments. I was feeling down and then I come across posts that are just normal selfies or at times fluff articles. Then this was making 5- 20 dollars. So there I was thinking there is something broken in the system but being less than a month I could not pinpoint the problem. We don't want a robot colony yet to replace the citizens.
That post was a Eureka moment for me but also in a way disillusioned me. If I can describe it, I would say it would be at the level of finally realizing that Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy does not exist.
Not trying to be melodramatic but I am disillusioned. My mind is troubled.
I have to be thankful to you for giving your sides on how you think. It gives me hope that this can still be saved. That a solution is possible. How you go through it with integrity and passion. Hope for Steemit is alive as long as you are here and supporting good content.
I wish that I will be fine.
this might help you: it more important to create friendships and connect to those who will ultimately bring about more success to you. Being authentic while connecting is a key..
Experience is the best teacher and I learned it was better to have an authentic and organic relationship with like minded people who gets me.
My first week I followed and upVoted everyone that would leave a message and as that I upVote them as well.
Seems a pretty easy way to earn and get more followers but to connect but it there was a certain feeling doom.
I learned that these kinds of relationships is an easy way to you to know more people. It became a numbers game instead of quality.
I have removed quite a number of people from my list and have concentrated on posts that I live, build relationships and be happy for they joy and melancholy in their sadness.
Well said dear. Just be friendly with everybody and in that way you will know those that are for you in good faith and those that are spamming you. Friendship is key in everything.
