Free Hugs - IT Clown Pennywise
Ok so here is the deal , i have been cruising round droppin upvotes on hella articles like a boss thanks to the Make a Minnow project on the P.A.L Network. I been doozin the dooz and making it happen, and doing a great job is i dont say so myself, lolz. However, i have been having a major downfall in my interaction with my fellow steemians....
In some of the backwards and forwards of commenting on articles , sometimes i get on the subject of Discord the community and social aspects etc. and realizing that these great steemians aren't on Discord i try to let them know there is a whole new world out there once you jump on board with some of the great communities on there like P.A.L Network. and Helpie.
As many of us know, the greatest part of what we are doing here is the social interaction, finding like minded people and growing together. the byproduct of this is that your account grows in followers, more people read you articles and you get more upvotes.... YAY awesome right ?!?!?!?! Then why does it feel like they end up looking at me like im this guy...
Creep
I dunno what it is that im doing, but it dont seem to be working, lolz. It may be that there is a considerable degree of difficulty to convey tone via text, maybe im just wording it wrong or something else... Whatever it is im left scratching my head like "ahhh..." lolz.
I suppose it could be that the whole thing sounds too good to be true, like unicorns and magic chocolate fountains , the land of milk and honey, fairies that grant you special wishes.... I guess it could come across as some kinda scam... but im not asking nor gain anything from it.
Could i sound like a bot? i dont think so, i would need to be a pretty advanced bot to be able to engage with people at the levels of a hooman being... spelling and grammar mistakes and all :) but its not like im giving away candy in a creepy van or anything, so whats the deal?
Free Candy
I think what it comes down to is, that when you talk about things that you are passionate about it can come across as though you are a used car sales man, slapping the roof of the car and making bold claims "just to get the sale". That would be all well and good if there was any kind of monetary gain involved, but for real there isn't, yall know this, im just tryna help good noob content creators find like minded people, their community , their tribe , so that they can be nurtured surrounded by peers and grow into awesome steemians connected to other awesome steemians.
Used Car Salesman
I guess all i can do is keep trying to spread the good word about how great it is to be part of the communities on discord that stem from steemit. That no matter who you are what you are into you will find like minded people to be open with and share your stories and them share theirs with you. maybe its one of those things you have to experience yourself before seeing what it means to be part of it.... but i strongly recommend coming in for the free hugs... nothing suss, i swear, lolz
Free Hugs
Nothing wrong with unicorns and fairies... hmmm
I was nominee to mam (kind of suspect Serena triggered it lol), still early to see if I go round too but I think I would test a couple of curation ideas Inhave been having.
Just surfing around and supporting what you find underrated is a good use. Just do not let it burn. Check newcomers, or people that post after long halts, retention is more important than ever.
Pd. Old Pennywise, Tim Curry was the best
Not that there is anything wrong with fairies and unicorns, but people looking at me like im tryna get them to buy them from me or join a cult, lol.
We have a great community full of genuine people willing to interact and engage with posts etc. guess its just people being cautious... but they are the ones missing out in the end. Well cant say i didn't try...
To be honest i had absolutely no plans for the delegation as i never thought i would be getting it. i just had to come up with something on the spot, its the best i could do considering my current situation (legal battle).
i was hoping i would be able to find some new underrated steemians and bring them into the community and grow our network so we all benefit from interaction with one another...
yep with you on that old pennywise for the win :)
My experience here and on discord is that people or creators mainly only care about their own content.
Its like facebook. In the sense people love to follow but wont like your content. They love to watch what you do and in secret judge it. My first message back after a long lay off I received over 100 followers. Over 100 followers! Does that come through in any one of my post. NO.
Steemit is polluted with bots. People create small circles and upvote each other not reaching out to many others. In turn others jump on board feeling left out. Wanting to feel a part of the crowd. I see articles all of the time not worth a 1000 dollars but they sure are getting it. Most of the time its repetitive type content with no real value behind it.
To my knowledge... Its the idea of value that sells better than value itself.
Depends on where you go and who you interact with. there are good networks out there, full of good people and initiatives. It is a social network so its all part of being in it.
Yeah i see those posts of 'nothing' gettin upvoted, but it dont concern me too much , i just keep being the best person i can be on and off the platform. as long as i am being congruent with the self its all good.
But this is more about the fact that im reaching out to peeps and they think im tryna get them to buy something or take their tokens while they sleep... i just want to help people out, grow the communities and account, connect like minded people, etc. Guess its just the state of affairs, peeps super cautious up in hurrr coz its been a dog eat dog world for far too long , lolz.
Same here... "i just want to help people out, grow the communities and account, connect like minded people, etc."
hahaha true... "Guess its just the state of affairs, peeps super cautious up in hurrr coz its been a dog eat dog world for far too long , lolz."
I been looking into other platforms like this one. May try to get a feel for what else is out there and if theres something I would like better. Haven't decided which yet. Good luck in your journey though regardless what happens.
thanks mate, much love in your direction :)
