I have always liked one thing about steemit that everybody starts the same here. You literally are on the same boat as the next guy. I am not talking about the SP you start with. What I saying is that the connection that you have to build from scratch here. In that sense the system is quite fair.
Sure there are faults. Sure one can buy votes. Sure one can bring in a ton of SP and start abusing it......... Theses kind of things are common in the world as well.
Let's face it - Steemit is not the most popular social media platform out there. Being small time has it's own perks and the big time players have even bigger challenges to face. I am not really sure if steemit is ready for them. I would obviously love to be a part of the world where steemit is one of the top ten visited websites in the world, but.............
98% population on steemit are small fries like me and I am competing for my share against them.
PS: You mentioned how a newbie can have a naive idea of taking steemit by storm. My latest post on my blog is on a similar topic. I would love to have your feedback on it, if you get the time.
It is hard to me to listen to some of the complaints of people at times (although I do understand where the y come from as it isn't easy) because of the work I have put in. People say it was different times and that is true however, I have worked my ass off day in and throughout the nights to get to this point.
It is not an easy place to build but, what really is? Starting a business? Getting return on youtube or instagram? Like anything, some get lucky, some invest themselves and there are risks here like anywhere else.
Those who are here and have invested themselves well will likely see large returns that will decline and get harder to achieve over time. It is still very early days.
I will drop by soon :)
I think about that too - about it being easier two years ago. The point is that I should have joined then and not waste all that time watching anime :D
It was difficult then and it is difficult now - once I made my peace with this fact, it became easier to concentrate and make some progress here.
Thanks. I would really appreciate your thoughts on that.
