RE: Our Corrupt Sense of Fairness

in #philosophy8 years ago

I'm sure everyone who has used steemit for more than a week knows that even on a decentralized social forum that majority of our experiences to us are unfair. Anything that isn't seen as a move forward or progression is fair. I wrote a hugely personal post about my mental illness and group up, hasn't even hit a dollar while fake pin up girls get thousands.

What is fair?

Sort:  

I liked your post and was one the people who initially upvoted it. Now I see you keep complaining about "unfairness" again and again and use the big font to draw attention. I'll give you some feedback: this makes me less and less likely to upvote you in the future.

I was merely pointing out that the idea of fair is individual based and one that is based on our perception. when people put their hearts and sole into something the fact that you upvoted it does not change the fact that a fake made up pin up girl gets thousands while the raw emotions in posts or real people go unnoticed. I have a voice. I have every right to use it innuendo. I have spent my life being told to shh as my opinion was below others. Don't do that.

My post made 60 cents while yours are making very tidy amounts. That's like someone in suburbia america talking about how it isn't actually that bad in third world countries. Because america gives them aid. It changes nothing.
