Drop the anger rages, loose the envy towards others, please!
After making a successfull frontpage story, i've noticed some weird things happening on this platform.
Besided from noticing downvotes by users who never contributed to Steemit (childish, i know), 75% of the 'new' items are envy, hatred filled posts on why a post never made any money, or complaining everyone earns except the user posting it.
Let me give you a good reason why:
This platform is not created to simply give you money, you need to earn your money and upvotes.
Impossible heh? Well Einstein, just call the New York Times and ask them if they'll pay you to post that nobody reads your article and their newspaper sucks big times. You'll get my point.
Contribution, that's the key to a successfull social blogging platform.
If your intentions to contribution are zero, then please take your 10$ and leave, but don't turn this awsome platform in the next bitcointalk filled with trolls and negativity just because you're unable to contribute.
Agree. It is about sharing, not what you can get. The incentive is a real good bonus, I must admit.
I suggest you post this in Steemit, instead of introduceyourself.
You'll actually get downvoted for putting content in the wrong category.
Can i still change it?
Hey steve-walschot,
you said it really well. Money is not given just for being here. Money is earned through posting good content and taking part in the community.
Thanks for sharing!
