Steemit has become an income spring for too many; a bottomless well of opportunities is being robbed by dozens and dozens of those who consider the webside to be an oil well and when committing their crime they never neglect plagiarism and write some full-of-sorrow-and-pain-stories. In the very beginning Steemit was about producing some high-quality content and providing the system with necessary funds. Still today the number of worthless and empty posts is growing, getting upvotes and filling the feed with rubbish.
This post is my fervent supplication to all the newcomers - please, don't consider Steemit to be a bottomless money well, don't flood the platform with useless posts about sex, drugs or naked girls (sure, they are nice but that kind of stuff does not correspond with Steemit's ground-pillars) trying to make money on other people's bodies and thoughts. Be FAIR, HONEST, FRANK. That will definitely pay up.
In the modern world of hypocrisy, lie and incessant hunger for pleasures such rare platforms as Steemit are a harbour for good content, pure thoughts and philosophy. When I first came to Steemit I got totaly absorbed with posts in Trending; they were about some economic issues, about new people coming telling their stories of success, about roads untravelled and sights unseen. Some of the most popular bloggers like heiditravels are open to the world, they write what they think, they share their experience. I don't want to blame anyone for trying to earn - that is a great motivation for writing though it should not be the ONLY MOTIVATION.
Many think that if they write their own story frankly noone will be interested in it. Indeed. Frankness is a rare and valuable matter that is so cherished in the modern society. To tell the truth, I am sick from all those articles about whores and their panders, about people in need who can hardly make both ends meet and go on robbing and killing, about drug wars and celebrities' affairs. I can read stuff like that on any news webside and the torrents of this doomy and depressive content are endless.
Steemit can and should be an exception, a quite and nice harbour for all those who still think in this world of money-chasing zombies. Bring something new to the platform and don't be afraid to be straight-forward. We appreciate that.
Sometimes I do wonder why people share highly emotionally manipulative stories, surely it's not for the money?
I try my best to be 100% legit in what i write lol, and i'm sure you'll be able to notice as my puncutation and writing style is fucking horrible lol, but still I get some hits...why you guys my wonder? i think it's cause I show personality, and sometimes blogs or articles can come across too "sanitized" so if you're over thinking some of your content..just chill and post it, see what happens.
I agree 💯%
I'm honest and friendy to everyone, whole day I'm saerching for good content, and -I read and comunicate with people. I got paid once by @dantheman for my comment, and other was prize contest on @steemship . All my efforts of being nice don't get paid but I have pleasant convesation with content creators. I would be happy if someone was to give me money for being nice, but I'm fufiled with people listening to me and by hearing their stories.
