Money only buys you so much in life. Far too many just giant smelly piles of it. It’s kind of odd they want so much of it can’t take it with you in the afterlife.
For me it’s still about the content at least on my side of steemit. While I can’t always do a triple AAA game title review where I sink 60$ into the game. 50-60 hours into playing the game to be able to write what I feel a decent review and then 2 to 10 hours getting any screenshots I’ve missed and writing the thing. I still want put out that kind of content like that. It’s just not my every day kind of content. Posting once every couple of weeks is not enough. For now at least it is cheaper end of games most that I already have. It's not the cutting newest game on market like I want to turn my blog into one day but I see it as a building step.
Many times I’m not putting out my best content because that just not possible to do a few times a week. I think everyone should have a range where they have that really amazing blog every couple of weeks, some wonderful medium quality ones, and yes a filler or two as well. People love to consume content and you need to keep them feed to a certain degree.
I once in a while make content that many would argue should been broken up into 2 or more parts. I feel the opposite when i see people putting out 10 blogs a day. It should just been 1 or 2 at best. While I’m sure many would not be happy if certain people still put out 1 or 2 a day that is a lot less of a hassle then trying milk the system to its max.
At end of the day I’m here for a decent time and to build something. What am I building well I’m not quite sure yet( somewhat.) I can only hope they find that balance for reward pool to reward as well as the ability for entire community to protect it from people who just don’t care. If that means changing rewards in a way so that my $1 posts are now just 10 cent ones then so be it. Far too many seek greed and sadly under the current model it rewards it quite well. Bunch of dishonest crooks trying run the tables at our reward pool. I wish I down voted more but that can come at a very costly price.
Am I being jealousy? I hope not I've even given up on self voting. I often want see the people around me succeed. Sometimes a little to much that I am part of the problem or it ends friendships. I should be spreading my votes out more but I also want make sure the content creators I enjoy stick around. Which is me being greedy at the very least in my own way.
Great reply, I'm totally with you on much of it.
Feeding the consumer content machine is required, I just can't throw fillers out though and do try to meet a level each time.
Many are way past worry what others think though, and this is disappointing to me.
Keep doing what you are doing, let's hope slow and steady wins a race sometime too.
