I learned about steemit from some of my friends and then I signedup for it. It was an excitement for me. It was great that you share your opinion and you can get paid as well and the biggest perk was that It was my step towards promoting decentralization. I was happy with that. I started uploading breaking news and I copied it from from the sources (I acknowledge it my mistake that I didn't given citations)
As I was prospering, I was earning some cents daily and that was like an achievement for me, It was like I will be able to pay my fee myself, that I'll be able to live on my own, but then as I already told that I used the news without citations I was expelled from the community, My reputation gone from 40 to 9 in 48 hours and I was like everything is scattering in front me. The fee, the life, the positive step towards decentralization.
However, still I havenot given up on hope, I will start uploading unique content of my own so that people can get benefit from me and I can also play my positive role in the society.
This post is just for a motivation from all and to myself as well to never giveup on things, Oneday We'll all win by making each other rising high. Love for all of You
Respect for steemit
