I think that these guilds may cater too much to people who are not willing to work hard on Steemit. They cater to the millenial attitude of "I should get everything right now".
I'm on that list. I'm grateful for any help I receive. I've never missed a day of posting. I don't google stuff and rewrite it. I produce my own images. Everything I do is created from the ground, up. I don't cry or kiss ass for anything... and I'm too old to be anything like a whiny brat who wants theirs and wants it now. I can agree and disagree with a few things said here. There are certainly no hard feelings. I enjoy your work, a lot, and will continue to do so. That one line though, two sentences. I'm on that list, you say that line, I'm forced to defend myself. Just letting you know, I'm not comfortable with that. I've worked too hard to be placed in that category. Also, I know many on that list, or at least read their work. They work hard and act professional. I can't speak for everyone, because I'm not familiar with everyone, but I can say there are some very honorable members on that list.
Oh, absolutely! By no means did I mean that there aren't good authors on that list. Not at all. They can all be good authors for all I know, that's not what I meant.
What I meant that the guilds may cater to a certain mindset. In general, not a specific or a group of specific authors.
And thanks for your support!
I just don't want to look like a villain. I can't control who votes for and enjoys my stuff. Just in case someone comes along and reads this, sees that list, sees me, then assumes I'm some part of a conspiracy. You know how people can twist things out of context. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I enjoy my time here. I don't get the big votes like many others, so I take what I can get and appreciate it fully. It's been a tough climb for me these past few months and I don't really feel like losing any momentum. That's all.
There's nothing wrong about being supported by a guild. I'm sure no one feels that way. No worries.
