Excuse my rant ☺️ it's hard being a minnow on steemit and it's easy to lose your enthusiasm when it seems like few people are interested in your data 🐳🌬️🐡 I seem to be coming to the conclusion that steamit suffers from the same problems of wealth inequality and Power in the hands of the few that the rest of the world society in general are suffering from💰😎🔌
This has troubled me about my interaction of 130 plus days on steemit 🤔🔔💡 I have created 379 posts I have 409 followers and I have a reputation of 40 ☺️😎⭐ if it wasn't for @steembasicincome mostly my posts would be worth less than $0.02 💸⚠️✍️📸 I seem to be being asked to buy influence at almost every turn in order to receive value in steem dollars and steam power🔌💸😐 I've even had my bandwidth throttled! what's up with that?🚂🚒🚀 my dreams have gone out the window💭💼👫🎹🍦🎂
It's a natural proclivity to the centralization of wealth and power that those with resources would like to keep them 💰😎🔌 one will always face resistance when asking those with wealth status and Power to give or lend them to someone else 💸🔌🤔one will usually also be charged a fee🤑💸💼 there's something wrong when you have to pay something to give something else away👷♀️👷♂️🤑 the work you do to produce data for the network has very little value effect because of this🤔♠️✍️ also it devalues the humanity of individuals 🤔⭐🔔
when those with wealth status and Power get resources they tend to HODL👫💰🔌 instead of sharing with others 🎂🍦🍔 especially those that have little 💸💼👷♀️ they see the hard work flying away to those without ambition or value to them 💰😎🔌they would much rather give to others like themselves 💰😎🔌
I would propose that any data is valuable to the network because it is data and processing that the network feeds on😋🍔🍑 it's true that a user uses processing power to interact with the network🔌✍️👷♀️ it's also true that in doing this they create data ℹ️💁 this to my mind equals things out♥️♠️♦️♣️ data creation equals processing power 🔌🍔☺️ then what remains to be paid for? The answer is the work 👷♀️ℹ️✍️🔌😎💰
My creativity has sharpened and my ability to write has clarified greatly since I've been on steemit ✍️🔌😎💰 that's worth a lot 💭🚀🤔on other social media I was reposting posts, here on steemit I am creating my own articles and graphic art🎨🎭 that's exciting and I've grown as an artist by interacting with this network👷♀️🎨🤔
there's a kind of funneling of creativity towards a certain kind of Direction/influence, that causes the subjects of posts here on steemit to be similar in order to be successful🤔💰😎 as an artist I resist Direction and influence in order to express and have the power of conviction🔌✍️🎨 jumping through hoops in order to prove ones value is a manipulation😎🍦🤔 even when it's couched in reward 💰🎂🍦
So I bring this to your attention 🤔⚠️💂 and invite a discussion about these matters🗣️🤔👷♀️
Thank you🦍🐶🦊🐹🐘🐬🐟🐳
