RE: Why did I bother spending 5+ hours writing an article for Steemit?

in #writing8 years ago

Great attitude. As I've said before, Steemit is about relationships. If you also want to make money, you have to connect with people and build relationships. I hope you find (or bring along with you) the community that will value your efforts in the future.

This is exactly how I feel too @lukestokes. I keep on coming back here, interacting, and posting because of how awesome this place is as a community. The diversity and breadth of work is just amazing.

Haha of course @lukestokes would have the same to say about attitude as I, even though I just saw your comment after I clicked post. People like @voltarious are here for the long run, and hopefully those that bring negative energy and blame everyone else will change their ways and keep grinding or remove themselves from this environment. It's such a cool place that what some may take as "circle jerking," I find hard to say why it isn't as great as I made it sound.

Free - Great Content - Interesting Comments - Invisible Trolls - Rewards - Great people. If that makes me a circle jerker, then i will gladly wear that title.

Hahaha, I agree 100%. Thanks for the feedback and the laughs. :)

Its very true, treat others with respect, discuss their content with them. Maybe they will find the time to discuss yours with you. Slowly over time, people who produce good content will gain a following of like minded people, it is out of this that true value will show its head. Right now things are a bit disjointed, but that is a product of the extreme youth stage that this platform is in. We have not had sufficient time for strong communities to form, that doesn't happen in days, or even months. It takes years.

In the crypto world everyone has a mentality that things happen fast, and they get upset when they don't. Unfortunately things happen fast in the crypto world for a reason, because it is rife with scams and get rich quick schemes. Everyone has gotten so accustomed to these happenings, that when an opportunity for real, sustained growth comes along, nobody knows what to do with it. Real, sustained growth also takes time, it doesn't happen over days, or months. It takes years. As the platform grows and communities form, so too will value grow. It takes time, and its something new in the crypto world. A real opportunity built on a bedrock of utility. This is cryptos first killer app. We are all fortunate to be apart of it.

That's very true! Thanks for the feedback!
