I would like to talk about one problem in Steemit.

In my opinion, the problem of Steemit, or rather members, is the desire to make money. What is really there to hide, we're all interested in it, and I think a lot of it here and it came. Yes, payment of posts is a great motivator.

But first and foremost, Steemit is a social network, we are communicating with each other, share news.

Why do people share their opinions and information?

1. Neurobiology: we share content to entertain, inspire and be useful.

The main reason that causes people to share information - the desire to be useful to others.

"Research shows that for people matter whether what they read or watch, interesting and useful not only to themselves but also to others. We are always in search of someone who shares our interests, hobbies and preferences, which is confirmed by data collected in the study. For the first time confronted with new information, people begin to think about whether it might be interesting to others. We are programmed to desire to share information with other people. I think this is a weighty evidence of the social nature of our mind. "

2. Psychology: we share information in order to show who we really are.

When we share our content, we want to show who we aspire to be. That's why some people share comments on political issues, indignation over some issues or stories of successful people, hoping to someday be the same.
In social networks we share the information that corresponds to our idea of the ideal itself.

3. Communication: maintaining relationships.

Whenever see a funny video about a dog, you have a desire to immediately send it to an animal lover.
Whenever you see any of these things, you immediately feel the need to share them with the people who would be interested.
People share information on the network, because it allows them to feel connected to the people with whom they can not communicate otherwise.
By sharing information, they can find people with similar interests.

4. Personal satisfaction.

When we have an opinion about something, what should we do with him? 69% of residents of social networks to share their opinion, whether it be thoughts on politics, social issues or goods. And when they get a positive response from his supporters, they feel satisfaction.

So, in Steemit, the communication are very few. There are posts and no comments. Yes, there are posts in the discussion, but rather rare in my opinion. Basically all just vote and not very willing to express their opinions. Some lose their motivation for the creation of new posts, because they see that their positions do not matter.
Many users want to quickly earn money, and post any delirium that they do not even interest, they want many votes for their posts.And when they discover that their posts are not interesting, they begin indignation.

There is another reason - envy. Users see that other posts are very generously paid, and their posts are no.
The main reason for our envy, it is our natural quality and selfishness. With envy can be fought, but it does not make sense, because it comes back again and again. The only thing that will help everyone, it is a change of circumstances and the rhythm of life.
We must get rid of all negativity, which you wear on a daily basis. Be the way you created by nature itself. Cease to strive for material goods, then selfishness leave, and you'll pick up the true happiness and joy, which is not replaced by any egoistic state and enjoyment in the material world.

Create interesting creative posts. Remember that first and foremost we communicate here.
