Thank you!
I've had a bit of a time staying all caught up with responding to comments, helping in steemit.chat, discord, etc. lately. I still make my way to you're posts, but often get sidetracked before being able to leave a comment. Sorry about that.
I'll take a look at that post though..I'm curious.
While there's nothing wrong with it..it's seemed that newer people that run contests tend to get disappointed with lack of response...simply because they don't get the eyes on it and/or lacking the name recognition. They're welcome to try...but it's always rough when something were excited about gets a lackluster response.
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
#HopeAndHardWork
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.
You have always been one of my fav. people to hear from always as you know.
I help people daily when I can, looking for questions in a feed or a post and I always think of you as a key person helping me, so I pay that fwd -- I will never be as good as you lol.
Hehe...the paying it forward is how the 'good' people win out in the end. Lol!
Feel free to always send people my way too if wanted. I'm doing most of the helping through posts now instead of chatrooms, just because it's easier for me to pick up when I have time and better organized (versus mad scrolling up.)
I hate the scrolling!!! LOL
I have tagged you a few times so people can find you over the months. When I checked on you a few times thru FB and knew you needed a break, I stopped, I did not want to add to the issues.
You are one of my fav. people and I hope to meet you one day.
These are facts!
Flag me if you want mean whales LOL
