RE: Are we only here to feed the narcissists?

in #steemit8 years ago

There you go again, full of yourself and being narcissistic.

You're doing a good job on getting people in - like said in my article - so no bashing involved here. Just advice why many people agree that you need to change the attitude since you act as a rolemodel for many new users that will be dissapointed when they don't get payed the big dollars like you did.

We share many life experiences, i'm a self made man myself. But, i stay humble. Always welcome to have a little chat by the way :-)

@dollarvigilante last Post about getting rich in Steemit had a clickbait Title but tons of very useful Information in it. And it was very clear about to not get dissapoited when you dont make much Money with your first Posts.

Well but really.

What you are saying is in my eyes a bit ...

let me try to find an analogy.

DollarV playes Lotto and wins 7.000.000 USD
Now DV makes a big social media campagin, that he won the lottery and everybody should play Lotto.
Ok, so everybody starts playing, NOBODY wins.
So in this Lotto Analogy, the people still keep playing because they know, the chance to win are not so high.

If people come to Steemit and think that everybody can make a killing just joining and posting that he just had a smoke and a bagel and spilled coffee on his jeans, well than i have to say, these people are just stupid, because nothing in life is free, and these kind of people will never make it on any platform anyway.

So i say, get everybody in, the ones not making it, will be washed out again. but that's fine !

"Can we all just get along" - This meme is certainly returning with a vengeance at this time ô¿ô
Let's try and keep the "wealth" aspect on the back burner for a while. Facebook went public at ~$30.00 and dropped to ~ $17.00 in the months that followed. Everyone bashed FB at the lows and proclaimed it to be doomed. Meanwhile FB climbed back up past the IPO price, the Winklevoss twins settled with FB / Zuckerberg .... and did what?? Bought the schitt out of bitcoin!!! Ain't Karma grand? Oh, yeah, FB is close to an all time high right now......

Question? If Donald Trump came here to steemit and did a somewhat epic intro and Tweeted it to the world identifying steemit, how much $USD would that post make? How many people of ALL ilks would join this community? Personally I think Jeff Berwick is a pretty awesome gutsy guy. But he would be a smallfry if Jay leno / Jimmy Fallon / Bernie Sanders / Ron Paul / Steven Hawking showed up here ~~

Soooo have we got the "big bucks to the newcomers" syndrome out of our system? 'Cause I have a feeling some mega rich posters are going to make some serious coin in the near future ~~
