Survival of the fittest, when he applied to humanity and other animals was always seemingly about the strength of the body and the will of character. In my own life, I have come to see the social Darwinism as the actual evolutionary trait of humanity. While humans, as an individual, need to be strong enough to survive this world in order to make it and to pass on their genetics to progeny as a whole we require community. In that case, social Darwinism applies to the ability to network and get along with others. Popularity always becomes important when the culture of humanity is concerned. It seems to me that Steem Is often the case of one of two things. First, one can succeed simply by Perseverance. Shit posting pays off if you’re able to do so a lot. The poster easier and they can be done in mass. This will make you money but probably not make you super successful in the long run. You’re still survive. The other way to not just survive but to actually succeed and thrive constantly I’m here still seems to be like any other social media platforms, and that you need to build your popularity. You need to have a hook and you need to be able to negotiate the interests of a community at large. Whether you join a minnow support group and Make friends that support each other or you write on the coattails of somebody that is already more successful, either way it’s not easy to do it alone. I am sure it is possible as nothing is impossible, but it is improbable to be successful without the help of others. Those of us that work from home, who don’t work well with others Remain here and we keep trying LOL personally I just like having a place to write and I like the overall feel of the people on the block chain versus something like say, Facebook. I make a little money here and there and I get lucky on a post but I don’t build a true following, not really. So, that being said, I probably am sort of talking out of my ass. I’m just stating what I see but considering that I’m not that successful financially, I don’t have a whole lot of experience in that regard I’m here.
