It's not like my whopping $1 vote is going to make whatever I'm working on somehow more important or better.
Sometimes I think about this. Just to get $1 you need to either a) invest shitloads of money or b) join steemit in 2016 sometime and not give up.
$1 is not a lot but in the perspective of this place it is. I have a $0.30 vote which is OK here, but lets face it.. I could look on the ground for a couple of hours outside and probably find more if I really tried.
We get excited when we get a big vote of $5 (I do), but in terms of the real world is just isn't that much.
Can I have a vote now that is more that I can find outside in 10 seconds please? :)
I see someone who started mid 2017 has a 50 cent vote these days. It's all about earning and powering up. I power up the SBD as well. It doesn't matter when you start.
Maybe you can find more on the ground but imagine earning a dime every time you said something. Would you stay quiet?
It was more of a philosophical comment really. I joined much later than Mid 2017 and am doing OK, but have invested some ££ into it. If anything this place takes too much of my time, but I find it intoxicating somehow.
I'm totally hooked. I find it's best to go all in, then take breaks when the burnout is intense, find something else to do. Come back with a new set of thoughts, carry on.
The burnout comes and goes but I know what you mean. There's just nothing else like it.
