This is ridiculous!
Absolutely not fair!
I put 20-30 minutes (or sometimes more) time, work and effort into all of my posts and most of my posts doesn't even reach $0.40 potential estimated payout and on one of my posts the potential estimated payout is only $0.17 after 3 days.
While someone pick (steal) a video from YouTube and post it on the site (Just the title and the video! Nothing else!) and after 9 hours his potential estimated payout is $0.36!
And another one video with $0.40 potential estimated payout after 9 hours also!
He is also upvoting the spammers under his posts!
Again! This is ridiculous!
Overall $0.76 estimated potential payout for stealing two videos? Really?
People should really see what are they upvoting!
Thank you for reading!
Enjoy Steemit!
Have a nice day!
Totally with you, not that I've posted much myself.
The sheer number of blatant links to someone else's work is staggering. I could forgive it if they made some lengthy point about a video then linked to it, but just posting a video with no comment is awful.
Then there are the serial commenters who say something like nice post, please follow me which contributes nothing. Then you see ones who try to look like they've read the post, but post an inappropriate comment making it clear they haven't. I saw a popular thread and someone had gone down every reply and replied to each saying please follow me, I'll follow you back.
I haven't been here long, but I have been shocked by the level of this. Never mind, I'm guessing they won't get that much out of it and won't stay long.
While I do sympathise with you a bit, the key to getting better payouts is to write content for a specific interest or community. Many of my posts make perhaps one dollar and Im here over 1 year. But on some topics make a lot more because it appeals to a community that know me and upvote or criticise my work.
Hey I've been here for a year and I get a penny here and there. This blog is just for fun, it won't replace your day job.
The problem is that I don't have a job!
I am unable to make friends and work in real life because of my multiple disabilities!
I am visually impaired, I live with autism spectrum disorder (serious problems in face-to-face communications) and dyscalculia (I can't make mathematical calculations).
I was born with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and I have a lot of vision disorders. For example Myopia (short-sightedness), dyschromatopsia (disorder of color vision), visual field defect. My weight is only 48.5 kg. I can't lift/carry heavy weights.
I tried to work in part time jobs in the previous years (2014 and 2015) but I can't do it.
My monthly income in real life is approximately $228,80 USD (60 000 HUF) ($1 USD = 262.2400 HUF at the moment).
I hope you can understand me.
Hey brother, I'd receommend you write about that. Have you made an introductory post? Write out a sign with your name and the steemit logo, say something like high steemit and take a selfie. Introducing yourself to the community with allow them to see who you are and what you are about. With those disabilities you can inspire through your posts, don't get mad my friend get working. Put some real heart into your introduction and write about your life and your hardships, just don't bet or be rash. I wish you luck man!
I didn't wrote an introduction post about myself yet/so far. I don't know if I will ever do it or not.
I am thinking about that. Thank you for the suggestion!
However I'm sorry but I don't see how could I inspire others with my disablities.
I am spending most of my time at/around home.
I could write a whole book about my life. I could write about living with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities as a kid/child/adolescent/young adult but there is nothing inspirational about it.
Nowadays (I will be 25 years old on September 17) I am basically hiding from people/society due to mainly the excessive hatefulness that I received from them and I also feel unconfortable when there are a lot of people around me.
Most of the people are hate or fear autistic persons. Or both.
I rarely go out from my house. I rarely see people in person.
I finished the high school as a private student in 2012 due to continuous insults/bullying (verbal and non-verbal) from shoolmates and classmates.
Example for non-verbal insulting from schoolmates/classmates: They thrown a shoe to my face while I didn't said anything to them. I didn't do anything wrong to them. I didn't do anything to them at all.
I cried after the incident. The teacher said don't cry because I am just giving strenght to them by doing that.
Because of the dyscalculia I received exemption from mathematics both in the elementary and in the high school.
This whole topic is very difficult/complicated. I think it's enough for now.
I feel for you my man, but listen... You can become stronger and more confident by writing out your worries and problems. If you can add drawings or pictures that relate to your words, you can make really amazing posts. You can inspire just by writing man, living with a disability as you have is inspiring enough, you deal with a lot that most people won't ever have to. I myself can learn from you, start posting everyday. I will upvote you when I can, don't give up because you will absolutely regret not giving yourself and steemit one more chance.
I understand. You won't make a living out of Steemit for many reasons, one of the main being the fact that you don't have an existing following. What I would suggest is picking a topic you know a lot about and making short posts several times a day to establish an audience, or going to anther platform like Youtube and doing the same. I'm not going to sit here lying to you that Steemit will make all your dreams come true.
