Steemit, Palnet
That's where you go to find variety.
Let's pretend for a moment. Feel like using some of that imagination stuff?
No? Okay, fine, whatever. Just scroll down, vote, carry on.
So if you've made it this far, good, that means you're ready for the rest of article.
Close your eyes.
Wait. No! Don't close your eyes! You'll need those for reading.
Picture this:
STEEM, is a magazine rack. Steemit, Palnet, other tribes and communities; those are magazines.
You can also find videos and music on this magazine rack known as STEEM. It's a rack. The rack is full of entertainment. Whatever. There's no need to be overly technical here.
So you picked up a magazine just now. You opened it up and here I am rambling away about nothing. Is this interesting? Am I at least trying? Does this look like one of the hundreds of other posts you saw today about the changes in Steemit's UI?
Is this a post about the things said in the featured post from steemitblog; the one nearly everyone can see? Is this a post to say, "Hello. Captain Obvious here again. I'm sure you already noticed but in case you haven't, once I'm done writing I'm sure you'll notice but just in case you don't, the comment section looks different today. Thanks. Now pay me."
I was browsing the new sports community tribe thing today. On the trending page there, I saw a post about Steemit's UI changes.
Clearly, that author is simply writing drivel so he can collect tokens. That article serves no purpose. It's old news. It's obvious news. Clearly the author has no self awareness. Doesn't realize if I'm flipping through pages in a sports magazine, and come across an article about flowers, I'm turning the goddamn page. I might even become annoyed and put the magazine down.
Which was exactly what happened.
As soon as I saw that post, I put the sports magazine down.
I picked up the Palnet magazine. I expect to see variety here. It's like grabbing a handful of magazines off the rack and flipping pages. Steemit is much like grabbing an even larger stack and flipping through pages. Anything that looks like it exists only for token stacking, I skip. It's just spam.
For instance, and no offense to those who do it, but those fitness report cards. Why use the palnet tag for that as well? Have I ever voted for your fitness report card on Steemit? It's great that you're active, and I approve of that behavior. I work out as well; but I don't vote for content that's only there to pull rewards out of the pool, especially when I see the tags of numerous communities being applied to that sort of material.
I saw one dude actually buy votes for one of those report cards! Why push that material closer to the front of the magazine? People will still flip the page. Besides, that stuff is more like the card that falls out of the magazine.
Why clutter up the feeds and make it more difficult for people to find stuff, then complain about how difficult it is to find stuff here?
So anyway...
Back to the Steemit material on the sports trending page.
I looked him up on Steemit. He had produced eight posts within 24 hours! Minimal effort; dipping into as many reward pools as he possibly can. I don't want to mention his name though. The name isn't important. Paying attention to what you vote for is important.
After everything we've learned from Steemit's mistakes, mistakes that are hopefully, finally, after all this time, maybe getting fixed, ask yourself:
Is it good for my business if I cater to those who offer the least amount of effort so they can gain the most profit?
Do you allow your employees to take ten dollar bills out of the cash register on their days off?
If you caught them doing that, would you give them a raise, or fire them?
Right now,
I'm a content producer.
When I'm finished here, I'll be a content consumer. I know what I want. If I go to a sports group, I want to see sports, not the spammy guy talking about Steemit's UI.
If I'm on Steemit, sure! I'll gladly skip over the 1588 low effort posts about Steemit's UI change today. Some of my good reliable sources for all things STEEM might have something to say about it, and I'll most likely pay attention to them, but the rest of those authors are shit out of luck.
Fair Warning
Plenty of communities will spring up soon, everywhere.
And there will be plenty of those spammy authors writing one sentence about how they played a video game that day, they'll include a picture, and use the gaming community tag. Then they'll write a sentence about what they ate, include a picture, and use the foodie community tag. Then they'll write a sentence about a news story they read, include a link, and use the news community tag. Then they'll say, "And I'm about to golfing! See you later!" There's that sports community tag. Then they'll slap on a Palnet tag for good measure. Then there you have it. The shit post heard all around the world.
Then to add insult to injury, they'll shoot for that glorious free money offered by team ROI and the rest of the robot family.
No community can benefit from those bogus content creators who are only churning out junk so they can collect tokens.
I used to say, "That trending page on Steemit turns new people away." I assumed, based upon the condition it was in and some experience in the biz, that conclusion was the only logical conclusion. I don't know if I was right or wrong, but I was a new guy today, and a trending page turned me away.
I don't want to be gone forever though, so I write this. Sure, I might sound like an asshole, but my intention is to help.
If people have to work for our attention. Make them work for your tokens.
Keep the aisles clean and free of debris.
I'm not entirely sure if what I post is interesting. Maybe to some... perhaps I'm doing it wrong. Should I be taking some photos of my food? I had a jacket potato for lunch! 😁

Between the lines here today, I secretly taught everyone to learn how to be confident in their work. Is he talking about me? Can't be talking about me, I give a crap about my stuff. It's good to remind yourself.
"Maybe to some, it's interesting." That's good enough. Not everyone is interested in Stephen King novels, but he seems to be doing okay.
I don’t necessarily know if my stuff is interesting but I enjoy writing. Be it about comic books, some new art I obtained, how to cash in on a hot collectible, my family, my dogs, trips, my battles with my own demons.
My blog is kinda all over the place and a mess when I think about it. I just post whatever I feel, but I do put thought and my soul into it which makes me happy.
Of course I’d love what I pop up to perform well but at this point I’m not stressing. Gonna pop up a quick piece in a few about my dogs as something simple just made me happy and I figured I’d share. Not sure if that’s worthy content or not but I’m sure I’ll chat a bit with a fellow pup lover.
Post. Sleep. Then respond to a bunch of comments that I’ve slacked on the past couple days. That’s how the next 10 hours are going to go. Lol
Good question you pose here though as I often look at somethings some folks post here and wonder...

I'm all over the map as well, but each post is a unique experience. Some are short, some are long. Some are happy, some are sad. I'm not looking for ways to weasel out as many tokens as I can though, by using shortcuts and loopholes. If I write a joke, I wrote it because I want people to laugh. If I produce art, I did that so people can look at it. If I get paid, I get paid.
You're stuff is usually quite good. I wish I had more time and more SP so I could get around to everyone, daily. I also noticed you're bringing in some new faces so that's cool too.
I'm enjoying curating the 80k+ photos I've taken over the last decade. To write about them, I often have to a lot of research to determine what I was looking at. That's a journey I probably would never have started if it wasn't for wanting to participate on this platform. Earning is nice, but quantity or quality of upvotes isn't really a priority. Frankly, the opportunity cost is pretty high, but I'm enjoying the journey.
I tried out that actifit thing for a little while, I never really got into it. It fell into the same category as Drug Wars battle results for me. I think part of the issue is that front ends on this blockchain are poor filters. Almost everybody here is crying out for diverse use of this blockchain. If that happens, every post cannot be a 1000-word APA formatted essay. More crap is going to pass through your feed as the blockchain use cases grow. We need better filtering?
This whole time, I thought I was following you, and just missing your posts. I miss a lot of posts. I hate when I miss posts... Following you now though.
We need to be able to mute certain tags. Then people need to analyze the data and if they see a lot of people muting, they need to check themselves before they wreck themselves.
I don't want to see ONLY essays. I want the freedom to build up a following who will respect my content, whether it be a long story, a rant like this, the art, the jokes... and maybe some days I just can't think of something to say, but I try anyway, it's a shit post, but they're cool with that, because it's my shit post. I shared a post the other day explaining how it's not always about the content. The personality is important. There's no personality in a fitness report card. They all look the same.
I wasn't trying to imply this was your position. That's just an extreme example I use.
I agree, this is what is missing from STEEM. There's a use case for actifit, but it should be isolated to their app. There's a use case for posting a link and 140 characters to describe it, Twitter style. There are probably a ton of use cases that would make the STEEM blockchain more valuable, but make your feed look like a STEEMing pile of poop without proper filtering.
Thanks for the follow!
Well, I'm not the content police, that's for sure. People can do whatever the hell they want. But when I'm voting... I don't vote for generic blah. I won't unfollow someone because they want to share a fitness report card, but I will spend my time looking elsewhere.
You can mute tags on steempeak :) (I love that feature XD)
Interesting post and one that makes me question whether my posts quality as the shit you refer to...I guess it makes no difference if there's one line of shit or 500+ words on each post as mine tend to be...Shit is shit right?
I enjoy writing though and so I continue to write about my travels, shooting and guns, some lifestyle stuff, philosophical and other observations, my life in general... I hope it's not seen as shit by those who may come past it but I guess some will.
I'm hoping HF21 will sort out some of the issues here next week (I think it's due in a week or so) and that I find a little more engagement on my posts that I mostly put a reasonable degree of effort into. Will I make more return on them? I don't know but still, I enjoy the engagement and the process of sharing my thoughts, some of my life and my ideas.
Nice post though @nonnameslefttouse the way you get your message across I mean.

The first post I ever saw come out of you, was you, running around shooting guns! I was like, this is fucking awesome!
Sometimes saying less, is more. I've pulled off some pretty damn cool art posts where I barely said a word.
Just do you. Is being one of the 1589 people all doing the same post those people being themselves? They're just scrambling for some tokens. There's a Bitcoin post on trending, talking about the value being up so much. It was outdated and irrelevant within hours and now it's going to sit there taking up space for days. A story about your life, like a memory, will live forever. It's not always about content, it's about the people and the personalities too. And you certainly didn't see me talking about shit personalities now did you.
These changes coming up will take time. It won't be an overnight success. In theory, and eventually, things should start to get better. The next step is marketing and I hope they don't market it to content producers... because we need consumers. Those are the ones standing to benefit from this change the most, and if we have more of them, then us content producers start seeing the benefits.
I hear you, and thanks for the comment about me running around shooting which I do a lot. I'm always a little careful about gun stuff...You know, some people like to target people like me with their lefty bullshit rainbow vegan soy milk opinons, not that it is an issue for me, just that it would taint my enjoyment if that happened
I figure my blog is a record of me and at some stage I may look back and enjoy seeing me from a different perspective, the way I thought, acted etc.
I would do more video but dtube never works for me. I don't know if it's a Mac (MacBook air) thing but it drives me mad. So, I write words.
We'll see how it turns out I guess and hope something happens here as I've put in 2 solid years of effort and would be nice if that came to something. I'm hopeful.
Thanks for replying. 😊
P.s. No running around shooting tomorrow (Saturday) making ammo instead. (Shooting means a whole lot of boring bullshit later...) 😁 Still, I don't mind making ammo. I just put some tunes on and get after it. Sometimes I sing out loud...But it's tortuous for anyone within earshot. 🙉

What I do, when I'm doing it, confuses people, especially at first. Some have targeted people like the characters I sometimes use when I write. @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself is not me. Mr Himself is not me. This Man is not me. Sometimes people are angry with me over something they said. The Writer/Artist Himself can be a bit arrogant at times. Larger than life itself. So some think I'm arrogant. I mean, I might have my problems, but they're actually angry with a caricature. I'm doing that on purpose, like a wrestler would, so if they're angry with those characters, that means I'm doing a good job. I mean, some days, I'd probably hate those guys too. A lot of those post are meant to be entertainment. Sometimes I'll step out of character, do a post like this; I'm sure at least one person out there is pissed off about it. Can't please everyone. Sometimes, if the flak rolls in, those can actually turn into some pretty good conversations. Just do your thing.
Good advice. In real life I do a good job of being the best version of myself that I can and generally here also, I hold back on the gun stuff at times, but I agree that haters will hate no matter what.

So those featured posts - that stuff at the top of the feed - is it just me or do you also find yourself staring at their faces and wanting to blink? Two of those guys on there do it to me. A face that is too friendly, features that are strangely pointed...
Anyway, I frquently question whether anything I write, which is always of a personal nature, is interesting, but sometimes you just have to write and just go with it. Words just beg to be typed sometimes...kind of like those faces on the pinned posts. Look deep into my eyes, that's right, good girl. Watch the spirals, don't blink...
Those posts always end up being a drama trap for me and I have to stay the hell away. There's always been a disconnect between many of the witness types and content producers. Some are learning we're all on the same level, in this together, a team. Others, not so much. Those not so much ones bug me.
Questioning your content is good. Is this interesting is a damn good question to be asking yourself and everyone should do it. Of course some don't really have that ability to step out of their own shoes, and most likely think well yeah, duh. I did it so it must be interesting. I don't scrap too many projects though. Just going with the flow. I scrapped one yesterday and just did a repost of something cool from awhile back. That was a good idea because had I published what was scrapped, it was quiet, nobody around, and I probably would have wasted something better suited for more people interested in that style of humor. So many of those people are gone.
exceptional!
Magnificent!
Y estupendo!
Wonderful information givings!
Glorious!!!
Indeed.
Folks used to be quite on the ball with tag 'abuse', but that seemingly went out the window with most other good behaviours a long time ago.
Palnet hasn't imposed any rules on the type of content they'd like to see, but as more racks/windows/isles appear, I do hope that the owners of these displays manage their shop to display the most relevant stuff first.
I was checking a certain daily post by bidbot last night which lists blacklisted users each day. I cannot for the life of me work out why that post is tagged with #palnet, particularly as the bought votes have 0 affect to the post on palnet (the bot has no vested PAL). My conclusion, token grabbing greed.
If I flagged that post at present, the vote would land on steem and palnet - I'd like the ability to show disapproval on palnet, and leave the content alone on steem.
Tag abuse used to be worse than heroin abuse.
Using retail analogies is, I find, one of the best ways to help describe things around here.
It'll get more and more confusing as we go. This will be like having three different places for fuel. Gas goes here, diesel there, electric here. You just know someone is going to forget to plug in their gas.
I do remember flags coming out for poor tagging, intrduceyourself was a popular tag-flagging zone but I don't see much of it now - although, there are much fewer posts at present.
Coal and water, good old fashioned steam. No idea where I'm going with this fuel, back to the smog ages perhaps.
Someday they'll make fart collection factories. Mm HMM
I post because my cat tells me to....
👀
I hear what you're saying about the actifit stuff...
"I don't vote for content that's only there to pull rewards out of the pool, especially when I see the tags of numerous communities being applied to that sort of material."
Yes
Yes
Yes
My cat says yes too
My cat says meow. Your cat sounds smart.
I'm so glad you said that about the actifit posts. Between those and the ones about Steem and Steemit, I skip over a lot. Now yours, I read the post and all the comments.
There's a lot of good stuff here in the comment section. Gives me a chance to clear things up and also get a feel for what others think about this. It's a good sign when people want to see what they consider to be good stuff.
Those fitness reports; it's for the best people realize many out consuming the content skip over those. I've often wondered why that can't just be included in a post with some meat on the bone. If I didn't know that report card was inside the post, there's a stronger chance I'd click the post.
Steem posts; it's good to learn but you have to find reliable sources. There's a lot of misinformation and uneducated guesses out there. Many feel like their an expert, then I'll go read and cringe at some of the things being said. I still see posts that encourage new members to go look for people with money, get their attention, and hope that leads to votes. Guiding people towards offering disingenuous praise. In reality, people hounding me for a vote is one of the only things I don't enjoy about this place.
Early on, I read someone's definition of a quality post, and it included headings, references, a certain number of words, photos, photo attribution - I don't remember it all exactly, but those things seem to attract, I'm guessing, the bots that bring the human curators.
I figured out early on that I could do those and it would attract attention to varying degrees of financial success. Of course, they also take time if you're researching a subject or want to have good photos. And as much as I would love to travel and write full time, sometimes life gets in the way. When I have the time to really curate, I like the every day nature photos and then I want variety.
You've probably noticed I break most of those rules. Strange how the ones writing the rules don't make much money.
Maybe you should try them. Who knows? You might do even better. It could be the topic of your next post. You're welcome. lol
Actually, you have artwork and you don't need to attribute it because you tell us it's yours, and you write quite a few words, you always have an interesting title, and the bold words might be thought of as headings. Beyond that, in marketing terms, you definitely have a brand.
I've done a few How To Steemit posts. It's usually just clickbait and I turn the whole thing into a trainwreck about four lines in. The humor is easier to pull off when you catch people off guard. Same with the fiction. The story seems more convincing if the reader doesn't realize it's fiction until the end. If someone was teaching me how to do this stuff, they'd tell me to do it the other way around. And that's probably why they write lessons and not humor.
Oh, I think you could do a very good job of making fun of these rules. I'm not suggesting you do something serious. lol
indeed, if other people didn't understand about your post they'll found it offensive. We knew that reality hurts, because you're correct. About the tagging, about their kind of post. Especially when you said about the foos their eating. Well no one should be blame because we have freedom. But the thing is, it doesn't make sense I think. That's what I think, if people jusge me like an ass. Well they don't know what's inside my mind also and I'm talking about freedom of speech. That's why I'm talking about my freedom of expression.
But anyway, great post. Look forward for another meaningful post from you. Have a great day...

There's plenty of room in this world for foodie posts. But if you're doing a foodie post, don't make it about video games. That could be two solid posts right there. Try to be somewhat impressive right? What's wrong with that.
People will always judge. It's natural. Be careful of those ones who say they don't judge. Chances are they're lying to you. People probably think I'm an ass as well. Whatever. They probably would also have to admit they've never taken the time to speak to me.
indeed, people will always judge you anyway so why do care. lol

Did Steemit change the UI?
Hey, can I sign your yearbook?
I think I heard somewhere something about something or other.
What yearbook? Sign my ass!
As one of the UI-write-abouty-guys, this is the key to the upcoming changes that is important for content creators.
Stacking tokens is fine. Trying to stack through offering useless and uninteresting crap is fine - rewarding it though?
#sports
I made damn sure this time when I'm talking about the STEEM writers, make sure @tarazkp doesn't think I'm dissin him. You are of the reliable sources. You are the people I go to when I need questions answered without asking them.
Rewarding junk is just awkward.
:D
Oh, you mean that button that's been there forever? ;)
They say, "learn something new everyday". Yesterday I learned what other people knew. It was still likely a more interesting post than many others on the site :D
Reminded me of my mazda 626!
I don't like that just the use of a tag gives you extra reward. It's too easy to game the system.
An easy handout will always devalue a currency. Money is hard to earn for a reason. If everyone was given the same handout, we might as well get rid of money and just give people free things so they can fill up the landfills.
That's why I'm against the basic income which is soo popular topic around here.
That one I can't wrap my head around. Maybe they need to see some of the areas of Canada where everyone gets free money. That might change their minds pretty quick. Nearly everything of value is taken for granted.
Keep working, stop paying.
My upvote bot upvoted this; I hope for you some downvote bot doesn't downvote it, but at least I didn't have to read it.
I did, of course, read it. I found it amidst the jetsam and flotsam, lagan and derilict of robot-generated or robot-supported shit. I wiped it off first, hope you don't mind. Can I keep it?
Thanks for not reading this. I was talking about you the whole time. I'm surprised you didn't know, we all know, about that thing, you did, that you think, nobody knows about.
“I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately.”
I've been meaning to ask. Is it safe to go home yet?
No; go sleep by the lake.
I'd love to hear your rants with your voice. You're a master of written inflection, so I think a dsound reading would be quite entertaining. Almost all of my post themes are genuine and intended to grow readership/awareness/respect, and entertain. Rewards are great if people find them valuable. My punchline jokes are always funny to me and I laugh when making them, but they're for a niche audience who appreciates that stuff. It can look like I'm just doing the bare minimum for votes, but that's really not the case. I try to put a strong effort into those little zingers.
I do respect those little zingers and I'm sure I've voted for a few. Each one is unique, and that's important.
I'm always looking for the big show though. I'm fussy but not really, I just have my taste, like everyone else. It would be nice though to have more votes with power to spread around. Some days I want to sit and curate but I'm all outta juice so I go outside, and sit, bored. At least it's nice outside.
There was a time, back in the day, when I thought about getting all dressed up to look sophisticated, getting in front of a camera, a nice chair, maybe a pipe; then start reading some of the most foul and potentially humorous things I could think of, with a dead serious look on my face.
As for voice. The kids on the ps4 headset used to say I smoke too much. I do have some voice acting skills, but no equipment.
Maybe because the PAL community is so diverse, with diverse interests... it could be seen as a microcosm of Steem.
But with the more niche tribes like sports, steem-monsters, etc... well, they are more nuanced and specific. It'll be obvious who the spammers-n-scammers are, and I believe part of the functionalities of these SCOT/steem-engine tribes is that there is a way of muting 'offenders'.
Maybe that functionality hasn't been dropped into palnet yet?
This is an issue I'm trying to wrap my head around, as a community I am part of would love to get a 'tribe' project up and running, and take it out to the world of our niche... but its the opportunists I'm worried about who will ruin it for any newcomers to the site.
As for my content, I honestly write for my own enjoyment. For some reason, I get more authentic, organic audience on Steem than anywhere else. I guess its how I've found myself in the community I was talking about... "found my audience" you might say.
And I get a wee bit of imaginary money for it at the same time. I've got a well-paying job I love, so I'm certainly not doing this to buy a Lambo ;-) LOL.
Palnet has a decent alarm system built in. A plus the people can keep watch, just like you would in own neighborhood.
And sometimes they'll do a fine job of blending in and looking happy. Other times they just act weird, like a plagiarist who boosted his content up to Steemit's trending page, for all to see. "Hi, my name is so-and-so and I'm stealing!" Then this other guy on the sports trending page sticking out like a sore thumb. Nearly everything else was sports. I don't even want to go to the sports community to read about the sports community, but that's my personal preference.
Ain't that the truth. You see all these people talking here. We're talking. You can't even find this on a city bus. Everywhere else, people just look through you, as if we really are just living in a world where nothing exists.
As for the money. I could use a few things in life but I'm not posting just so I can buy a Bigmac Meal today. Nearly three years of posting actual content, with some time off as well, but now I nearly buy that hamburger from curation rewards I get each day. It's all about taking the seeds and planting them, instead of eating them.
You know this is really spot on. It's exactly what people are doing but you have summed it up exactly. A post about rewards, a post about the Steemitblog post, a post about etc etc. It's too stack tokens. They used to be outweighed by the genuine creations but not so much now..
There's no meat on the bone. It doesn't help either when some who act like influencers shit post to stack tokens, buy votes, and offer the noobs a false image of what actually works around here. Noob tries it and can't earn a damn thing because they straight up set themselves up to be the page that gets flipped. Actual content, genuine creations, the links that get shared on social media, you want to be that, not the status message that gets five likes on Facebook. There's no limit to what one can create either.
You have a damn good system. Shit, I won't give away your secrets but if I could start over I think I'd be borrowing some of that approach. At least you can kind of be prepared for what to do next. I'm all over the place, bouncing off walls. Boing boing.
Yup, people won't come here for articles about Steemit. I use myself as a gauge. I visit other sites because the article or the post or the video interests me. I don't visit medium for articles about their upcoming changes and it's the same for the rest. I think whatsup said it when she did that some people thing the inflation to the reward pool is actually their own personal ROI.
Anyway, I'm just a half fucking addled fanny that likes putting a nonsensical spin on life's shit. Lol.
Well yeah. I just did a quick scroll through my Facebook feed. Saw a couple pics of friends. That took two seconds to consume. The comments are always dull so I don't bother reading that. How many times can a guy read "lookin good!" Saw a couple memes, those took a couple seconds to consume and honestly I can't even remember what they were now. But an article from Nat Geo caught my eye so that's in a tab right now and I plan on watching a video from Space X when I have a moment. The actual content. Nobody reads my ramblings about this place on Facebook. I need to stop doing that.
Ah, sweet sweet Facebook. I actually do think it is losing popularity. Either that or because I don't use it much anymore all my erstwhile friends are unfriending me, lol!!
I can sit here and say O no I am here for the love of writing, but I am not a liar. I do educational stuff and since teaching is in my blood, I hope that some parent or kid can benefit from it, but I do not LOVE writing, but I know I can teach and then I would love to make money and in the near future retire and only write on Steemit......... that is a dream which I do not think will come true unless a huge whale spots me and takes me under his fin and the price of sbd skyrockets hahaha
There are more whales here who don't vote for me than there are who do vote for me. A lot of the votes I receive took a lot of time to earn. I don't get the same group every day either. I still get surprises. Other days I'm wondering where the hell everyone went.
I don't know what I enjoy more. The writing or the art. I do know I enjoy doing both though. I like this new thing as well where the writers here add social elements. Adding that personality in. You know about it. You're a teacher. The students will pay more attention if there's some personality to go along with that knowledge. The teacher reading from the book and avoiding eye contact for instance; everyone falls asleep.
O yes I agree - I am so not a teacher that can carry on and on and on about one thing - I like to teach kids to think for themselves and live out who they are. SO much pressure from society on book knowledge and marks and how you are suppose to be - lot of crap. There are so much more to life than just learning from a book.
In my opinion everyone should post about what there like. If there want to post about there garden or dog, sure there should do.
Look Instagram and co, do you see there any quality?
If you see a shitpost and you dont like, simple push downvote. I dont say a picture of a dog is woth any coin( maybe dogcoin :D).
If you want a Community about 1 Topic, maybe we have in the future some more about Tech or whatever with stricter rules.
A good start is having confidence and self awareness. Some people make it too obvious they're not even trying. Others are oblivious to the fact majority can see they don't care. Someone can put their all into fifty words, and people can see that, and respect it. It's really not that hard to try, and to be interesting. Instagram is thousands of people all doing the same thing. So boring.
Maybe a way to mute tags in here would do good.
I hope what I write is even remotely interesting. I usually write only when I feel a strong urge to do so. It is as if I need to be emotionally ready to sit down and write something. But if I put myself in the viewer's shoe, my blog would probably look very confusing due to the multitude of different kinds of topics I write on. I don't write very often, but whenever I do, I enjoy it and try to make it enjoyable for my readers(that is, if I even get any).
Well, if people want to do that, whatever. It's their life, right. Wouldn't our solid posts be easier to find though, and gather more votes, if the feeds were kept clean? Yes. I'm just being honest.
Everyone should learn to be confident with their work here, especially after reading this. We all have different tastes. But if you yourself aren't confident with your stuff, it's time to step it up. I do encourage everyone to just do their thing though. Just don't expect my vote on anything and everything.
Wut there are even more coins to collect?!?! Puts down the magazine.
Turns to my motherfucking manager.
Dave!!!! We are not collecting enough coins triple dipping my sausage is not good enough anymore.
I ain’t no scardey cat I even let my content go outside. Would you look at that funnel. GOD DAM FUCKING GORGEOUS is what it is linking back to my steemit stuff. Shame I can’t have my Steem blog looking like that. Make things easier for those browsing the magazine isle.
Totally for the magical internet money, I totally have not been posting elsewhere for no tokens for the last...freaking ages elsewhere XD
My stuff is interesting for me to do. If other people find it interesting to look at I'm happy enough :)
I dislike tag spammers.
Don't be gone forever. Unless/until you want to I guess :)
I gotta check out these communities.
This post is food for thought, so you should have tagged 'food'.
Name and Shame as a warning. After the shots are fired, start a flag war.

I just realized something. Those tag flag wars... that's a turf war. We're going to need to learn some gang signs.
What an excellent idea! Here are some I propose:✊✌🤚

You're one of the most readable content creators on Steem. While that doesn't negate the flood of the minimal effort/multi-community tag/botter types, it does give us some content worth discovering.
Well, I have my good days and my bad days. Not many were interested in my post today, but that's fine, because today I just wanted to have a bit of fun, and write a few jokes, play with some observational humor, that kind of thing.
I Just try to get some money :)
And how's that working out for you?
Well I still keep my day job , but have some pocket money here

About a year before I found this place I was almost stuck living on the streets.
Hello @nonameslefttouse, thank you for sharing this creative work! We just stopped by to say that you've been upvoted by the @creativecrypto magazine. The Creative Crypto is all about art on the blockchain and learning from creatives like you. Looking forward to crossing paths again soon. Steem on!
Please@nonameslefttouse how can I link my steem account with Twitter.
I don't know. I don't use Twitter.
Thanks for letting me know .
Stay blessed
Congratulations @nonameslefttouse!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
I actually agree with you on this post. I read it, it makes me mad when I see users abuse the weedcash tag. They are all greedy and don't care about anything but money. They take flags way too personally and would kill ya in real life for it if they could. Not you, but in general. Yea PAL is like a mini STEEMIT, ridiculous now! We need separation of Pal & Steemit!
As for my posts, I don't think they are interesting, everybody hates them and tells me so on a daily basis. That is just my magazine column, sorry if I'm so rotten!
