I agree also, I was not going to input about ppl. running a contest but then I thought, it still is A WAY to gain organic eyes on / interest / following.
It is right. I was so amped up doing so many of my posts I worked like 8 hrs on some days and earned nothing and got no votes.
Now I get flagged by whales who do not like me, because I have put in the honest time and effort for so long, and my numbers just reflect that.
I did not bot my way here lol, I worked hard, typed a lot, tried to be helpful and encouraging and nice (like you) - and eventually you all could not ignore me any more
Hahahahahah!!!! (:
I hope a couple people learn and get a laugh today LOL
I am the least talented person on here, believe me.
Some of you already know this lol
right?
(:
Lol! You always crack me up.
I'm definitely not against them trying buy I try to keep their positive outlook going as best as possible. I've definitely been there, putting in many hours for what felt like no payout.
I've got a few ideas of other things to help out those who have been putting in the work/effort but not gotten the attention yet. Like with us, it takes most people time to get their name/work around and recognized.
What I have in mind should get posted up tomorrow. :)
I have some good ideas still too, but honestly, the facts are, if some of us keep getting flagged and bullied, it shows the power issues here are a problem, a glaring one still.
It removes the desire to put in the work -- because your work will just get buried.
I lost support from important people here going on #SteemitStrike for the reasons above and it was still the right thing to do.
My post this last week flagged to $0 almost from my third ever post over $100 on the post to help Sommer get established as a new person, did not sit well with a lot of people from the msgs I got and tells the new people bullies are OK here.
I don't suck up to anyone like some people here so I have just said the truth and not looked the other way.
People need to know -- the whole world is watching.
