RE: Just A Pretty Face? | Are We Missing Important Things By Taking Everything At Face Value On Steem?

in #steem6 years ago

It's unfortunate how people will just look at the surface of things. I admit that I can do this as well and I'm sure everyone does it or has done it in the past, just an unfortunate reality of being human. I have been however more cognizant of trying not to do that since leaving the ridiculous platforms of Fakebook and the like because of the mindset they are trying to impose on others: just gratify yourself with the surface and move along to other things, don't look deep into anything. I see this behavior so often on here. People commenting on a post with the typical "great words, you present this well" blah blah but they aren't even grasping at what the person is even talking about, just scratching the surface to try and gain a little reward somewhere.

I've unfollowed some blogs lately because of these issues. I thought they were pretty decent on the first couple posts but then I realized that they weren't doing things the way I liked despite having a fair amount of people (er should I say accounts since so many are bots on here..) following them. The number of accounts I follow isn't incredibly high but those that I do, I find have good value in what they are doing be it spread news and information that other sources are trying to inhibit or help others get exposure through all the noise here on the platform. Hell I can't even remember why I started following you but I think that the posts I have seen are enough cause for me to continue following you until I am presented with a reason to stop, which probably won't happen but you never know.
