Try it out.. Take a look at what types of comments I have submitted and the conversations that became engaged.. Its not an easy way out but rather a different approach
very true... I just see many many users get discouraged early on without the patience to give it time and put different types of work into an elaborately complex platform with a reward system such as STEEMIT
As much as this is a blogging platform, it is also a social media site. I think this mixing of things as different as Facebook and Medium makes it confusing to people. How should one approach it? The answer, I think, is different for everyone, but as you've hinted, being social and interactive is critical to success. You must find pleasant ways to network, and leaving engaging comments is probably the best way to do that.
I don't quite agree that the voting system is flawed. It is linear now, which makes it much better than it used to be for many people. When it was parabolic, the whales really had all the power. Their votes were the only votes that distributed rewards. Now even users with only 1,000 SP have a vote that is worth something.
If the system didn't work the way that it does, what incentive would people have to invest (power up and hold Steem) in the platform? As it already is, many people just take what they can and cash out. Whales and minnows alike. Much of Steemit's design is based on providing people with icentives to use and maintain the system.
Are you saying I have a bad attitude? Do you think I'm being insolent and inconsiderate to other's feelings? I can't quite read your tone.
When I started Steemit, I only knew one person on here. I wrote almost everyday and I powered up every post. From my experience, I honestly think anyone can find a degree of success of Steemit.
Thanks so much for your input @boxcarblue !! You are certainly one of the authors on here that blogs a lot and also makes it a point to engage and become interactive with other users and I admire that!!
As for @vaerospace - I can't quite read the tone used either...
And by myself saying that I think the voting system is flawed... I suppose I don't have all of the information and or insight to correctly make that statement... I suppose what I was alluding to was the fact that when new users visit the Steemit Homepage for the first time ever - What do they initially read?
Something to the tune of "Money Talks. The first ever social media platform that pays you to blog, comment, etc..." something along those lines - I know its not verbatim... But the way that the main page is designed with color and type is to allure users to set up an account with the hopes of earning decent money... It always shows a feed of posts earning $175-$250 - So the average person probably thinks - WOW people are earning $200 a post.. If I start today in a month I can probably earn $10-25 a post!! Who knows what people think when they first enter the world of STEEMIT - I do know that knowing it is a legitimate site that pays out rewards in fiat if the user decides to cash out it a big draw point to sign up because who on earth wouldn't like a part time job that they can clock into whenever they want to for 5 mins or 5 hours and earn...

obviously, all success include in hard laborious

I think he was saying you have a very optimistic attitude, as he won't ever have 1000 SP. A little cryptic, but at least he read your comment!
Hmmm, i appreciate with
