I hope you're right, @taskmaster4450, I tend to think you are... I suppose I'm passionate about this because I see good people falling away from Steemit fairly regularly. They've told me that it's too hard to keep going, and they've cited circular voting as one of the main reasons they feel shut out.
I think very few of us are making a living from Steemit, and all our efforts aren't going to be rewarded for many months, possibly years. Whales obviously can and will do whatever they want with their VP, but it's chilling to see admission of undervalued posts and then a cold, "**** you, creators" attitude.
agree.
I agree. There are times I get de-motivated by the behavior I see on here but then remind myself why I am here and what I am committed to. My goal is to be a poster that makes a difference...to bring areas of knowledge that people who read what I write do not have.
I want to make money like everyone else although I have no complaints about what I have gotten thus far (or at least I should have no complaints).
Thanks you for your kindred spirit of maintaining optimism and that we are bigger than the challenges that are in front of us. If 10,000 people get together and focus on making this place the best if can be, it will create an incredible outcome.
In the overall scheme of things, that isnt that big a number.
I'm really thankful for super dolphins and orca like the @acidyo and the @stellabelle and @pappa-pepper. They certainly help balance some of the lopsidedness that's troubling everyone.
I see what you mean, I'd really like to get my videos in gear, make a splash on youtube and then drive traffic back here consistently.
Wow you're right, 10,000 hyper Steemsters could really rock the show!
That is all we can do...try to drive as much traffic here as we can. I gave the link to someone this morning...I have no idea if she will sign up or not but she was given it and I told her about it. It will not be the last mention from me either.
Well it seems with you and I, we only need 9,998 more. LOL
Oh I haven't been that great for Steemit yet, but the intention and potential's there... and I do have things in motion... :D
I am sure you will get there....as you said, intention is a big part of it and you are already starting things in motion.
I believe any effort on here helps...people just need to start increasing their numbers...of posts, comments, and upvotes.
It all builds upon itself.
yes exactly. you get it.
