RE: Steemit, Community, and the Power of Guilt

in #community7 years ago

Well I don't know what to say to that, since I feel guilty.

I don't do a lot of upvoting of comments. Well that's not completely true. Sometimes I go mad and end up with next to nothing votes worth 0 and a VP of 25%.

Then I withdraw from the fray to recover.

Then I upvote myself (oh the guilt, the guilt) thinking that this will help others in the long run because once I get to 500 SP I'll be able to upvote willy nilly to my heart's content. Well at least it will be a lot more than I do now.

And it is true to a certain extent. Right now I am more interested in SP so I can upvote better, than I am in earning money that I can take out of the platform.

My dream of course is to be able to do both one day.

And now I feel guilty for airing this in public.

I'm going for a walk on the seafront so I can ease my suffering soul! 😢 😢 😢 😁

Nothing wrong with a little guilt. :) It makes the system work.

I'm definitely not trying to MAKE people feel guilty. It was just a mild observation on my part that guilt plays a part in social interactions (whether on steemit or elsewhere), but on steemit it becomes more important because money is attached to those actions.

Thanks for the comment, and I always look forward to seeing your comments on my stuff (when you are able) and seeing your photography in my feed (when I catch it!) :)
