This Is What Happens When Your Friends Ask You About Steemit! (Funny)

in #spiderblogger7 years ago (edited)


During my last 9 months on Steemit, I've really come to recognize the real value and potential this community has for the future. It's safe to say that i'm super passionate about growing, as well as helping those around me grow on Steemit, so you can imagine how annoyed I get on a daily basis when people question how I spend my free time.

I can't tell you how many of my friends and family I've tried to get onto Steemit, just for them to completely shut me down saying it was a scam or a waste of time.

I've finally arrived to the point where I honestly don't care anymore if they listen to me or not. Of course I am always down to spread the word of Steemit, but if you're not feeling, just don't go asking me for an upvote a few years down the line!

...And hey man, I don't know how you feel about bot voting, but you have a bot vote coming in soon for this. Thought I'd be better than my 8 cent upvote and I'm starting to realize it's OKAY to use bots on good content...

Also, why let all the spammers monopolize a powerful tool like bots? I think beating them at their own game is key. Once a spammer collects $ from a bot vote, it's going to be used for selfish purposes. Why not have generous people using the power of bots?

Okay, rant over lolz...

Brooo thank you so much 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 You actually might be a for real blockchain super hero! The lengths you go to help Minnnows is unbelievable! You have a ton of good karma coming I know it!

And I 100% agree with you! I feel sort of guilty using the bots, but it’s a great tool to advertise your posts and if spammers are going to abuse it to take away from the reward pool we might as well use it to counteract trash being on the hot pages haha

lolllll great video man

Your editing game is getting sick, that was a fucking work of art.

And the point behind it.. ya so true. It's like people are overly skeptical when there isn't anything to lose. And then you get lost in the fine details.

You hit it on the head that this is how it goes!!

Ahaha thanks Full I was hoping you liked it 😂

And yeah so true! The crazy thing is, is that you have nothing to lose by joining Steemit!!!

I should’ve posted it at a better time, but I think I might make another one later in the week!

lol sick .. Terry comes back as a recurring character? ha

ya that post deserved to go viral .. I wish I saw it and was able to resteem it earlier (not that it necessarily would have done anything but wish I was able to try)

at least you still have it and maybe can slip it into another post in the future somehow, like you always have it as a bow in your arsenal to reference back to or use creatively or whatever

(i know bows probably don't really go in arsenals, it just sounded right, don't judge)

Lmao I mean I could see it working 😂

Haha yeah thats what I’m thinking about doing! I’m going to make another video this afternoon and post it tomorrow, so hopefully it does well!

And you’re absolutely right! I deff should’ve waited to post it but I got a ton of followers from it so there is a bright side!

And no worries bro haha I appreciate the Resteem! Your a boss on here so I’m sure it helped!

This deserves bare MINIMUM $150+ hahaa... I got it out on twitter and tagged some people too.

Did you know that team #slothicorn is looking for some funny commercials? They can be home made. Might be something worth looking into! ☺

Ahahahah dam, I really hope Dtube swims by and shows some love! And ayeeee thanks bro! I really need to reactivate my twitter!

And of really?! Dude I'm 100% there haha Do I have to join a discord server to be a part of the group?!

Ohhhhh and I started my Vector art training last night master Overkill! It's waaaaaaay doper than any other art style lol I finally know how you and @steemitadventure make your drawings looks so dope!

Here ya's go. I think it's open to all crypto-related artists and video counts as art.

What program are you using? Glad you're already liking the way vectors work, some people flip out, it's different than digital painting...

Thanks bro, and adobe illustrator! Good thing I've only been drawing for like a week haha It is a lot different, but I can see myself being able to produce higher quality picture a lot faster!

It's funny, I'd like to do more with digital painting actually... Grass is always greener on the other side, right?

Also your videos are watchable a few times at least, in my opinion. This should be hit with a Curie vote, because EVERYONE has been through this... Very relatable!

Brooooo that would be so lit ahaha

If only I knew what a Curie vote was ahaha

And yeah, it's almost to the point where I prefer hiding the fact that I'm on Steemit because I'm tired of the whole Crypto is a scam speech smh

Bro thanks so much for promoting the video! Literally like a real life super hero aha

And judging by that friend of yours, toward the end of the video... there's no way I believe that rascal put 3 hours into that post hahaa...

Lmao yeah Terry is known for his elaborate stories! More importantly we are gong to have to figure out this security situation for when Steem hits $100 because I can deal with spammers online, but not in real life ahaha

So is Terry a real guy? What if he's got an account on the sly and he's reading this now, haha...

Lmao no but based off of a real guy 😂😂😂

And oh, ima show it to him ahah

Tell him if he signs up in the next week he'll get a PERMANENT 0.5 SP delegation from ME! ☺

jajajajajajaja this happened to me with my family and some friends ajajajajajaja you made me laugh by acting like the friend who doesn´t care and looks at you like you are crazy jajajaja. Thank you so much for sharing @waphilip, I am new on Dtube but I love that it is connected to steemit and that we can earn cryptocurrency, steemdollars are the best I hope it goes very high! :D

Ahaha really glad that you liked it! I’m working on getting another one out soon!

Best of luck! Stay consistent and keep putting out quality content and everything will fall into place!

This is a cool video! Steem on SpiderBlogger!

(thanks for the mention on twitter @overkillcoin, it got me here)

Ayee thank you fitz 🙏🏿! Yeah overkill is a life saver!

😂😂😂 I think SBD will hit $100 before Steem.

Ohhhh that would be life changing!!!! Might actually have to cash some sbd out in that case lol

And this is usually how it goes. You try to put people on to stuff early and they don't even investigate but as soon as money starts rolling they want help getting started, and that's after you told them months and years ago when you were willing to help lol. I enjoyed the video and you gained a new subscriber!

Aye happy you liked it man thank you!

And you know I have to support anotha brotha on here so I followed you back ✊🏿

I appreciate that!! Thanks for the support it really means a lot!!

I have the same. My friends just don't belive "It's a scam!!!, Did you get this money??? No?? HA!.
And I'm not only for money here. I want to produce beats and collab with real artists.

Man facts!

Yo you should check out @sirlunchthehost he is doing a whole mixtape series and is always looking for new talent!

Dude, that was hilarious. At first I have to admit, I was like, ehhh... But when the punchline came in, that was good, made me laugh my ass off. Thought he was going to ask you for a few bucks, but asked you for an upvote, lmao... loved that shit

Gooooood shit

Lmao yeah I was just praying people watched to the end 😂! Appreciate the support bro haha

with tears bro hahahahaha lol nice video @waphilip

ahaha thanks bro! I literally can't stop watching it lmao

Good post, please follback and upvote,,,thanks you

If it was a good post, why do you say it's good? Or are you just looking for follows and votes without even caring at all? There's no fooling @waphilip, so why even bother trying?

than i say it is very nice work for us as a student.

wow! wonderful stermit funny photography.I like photography. Thank's for the share.

Good one

This post has received a 1.15 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @overkillcoin.

Hahah that was amazing. It really is like that though. The figure you mentioned is a "magic milestone" for me (STEEM hitting $100.) Let's face it, not everybody is the type to go out on a limb and be an early adopter for something so revolutionary and therefore risky. It is gonna be odd when total mass adoption of cryptos are here and suddenly everyone is wanting in. It's like bruh, I told you about this two, three years ago, lol.

I've said this A LOT, but even the so-called "interested" or "open-minded" people in my circles have only feigned interested in Steem/Steemit. It shows up for a split second on their radar, they think, "Hmm, that's interesting" and then they disappear without taking action. Sort of like BTC and me back in 2010...

Yeah, I've had the same experience, even with the BTC back in '10 (bit painful to think about XD.) Steemit is by no means perfect, but the quirks of it don't deter me from enthusiastically embracing the potential of this new paradigm of social media. Will it be the myspace of crypto social media? Maybe. Will other systems come along? By the boatload! The most valuable thing about it for me is having a space to document my work, share it with others, get rewarded for it, and quickly reward others. Not to mention, I can effortlessly send currency anywhere in the world in seconds without a third party having anything to say about it. Shoot, I'm preaching to the choir though, ain't I? XD

Aye you are preaching, but I ain't made at ya haha

There will absolutely be boatloads of copy cat Steemits, which might knock us off eventually, but Steemit is the first so I think we will see the rise well before the fall! We might all need to hire 24/7 security guards to protect us from real life spammers ahah. I just hope they except Upvotes for payment haha

Also thank you so much for the bot votes @overkillcoin!! Bro I appreciate you so much for promoting the mess out of this post!

I looked up mySpace's reign and they were king from 2003 - 2008. That's not a bad run at all, really. Even if Steemit can be within the top 5 crypto blogging sites, you're sure to see life-changing profits. And I don't know exactly why fB drained mySpace so thoroughly, I guess that's the herd effect...

Hoping that with Steem's many "tentacles" ie apps, you're bound to have some that can keep users engaged long term.

I'm feeling really botty lately! I figure with my 375 effective SP, I should start to bot vote. I don't think it's the end of the world when I bot vote, it depends on motivation and the voter's attitude toward the community probably.

Mannnn 5 years isn't a bad run at all haha And yeah, SMTs are going to change the game bro! I can't wait for Appics to come out so I can at least become a dolphin somewhere, assuming the rules are the same lol.

And aye I'm not complaining one bit bro ahah But you know you never have to upvote my shit! Our convos in the comments over the last few months have low key made my minnow experience bearable ahaha

There's so much sour grapes-ness out there about cryptos in general and Steem specifically. Pretty crazy and I think they're missing the big picture. Although saying that, I have to frequently remind myself to stay upbeat.

How do SMTs work, do steem holders get air drops?

Being a minnow's hard, glad I can ease the trauma a bit!

I responded to both of you below ☺
