I often wonder if people here think I'm a lazy bastard for not posting at least one piece of content a day.
What? Your sole income is via Steem and you can't even get a post or two out every 24 hours?
Yup. But it's not because I don't have time, ideas, or something to say.
Your posts average 15-20$, come on, get posting - no-one cares anymore, just shit-post.
Yeah I'm fortunate and grateful for this. Naa, not on purpose anyway. And there are some that care - some.
You see, I'm under this illusion that what I do (in not posting multiple times a day) actually helps Steem, and the inflation pool. It's bullshit though. In % terms, total bullshit, and has next to no effect whatsoever.
Check out penguinpablo's daily report from yesterday and the account with the largest power-up. Take a look at their votes, the spread, the content. Glad to have you here...
Just one example of a large account draining the pool with next to zero effort. There are many more, and it's been happening since the beginning.
Invest, wank yourself off, cash out. Grand.
How is STEEM even worth 23 cents when it's this easy to 'earn' is beyond me. $7/8 a STEEM and SBD $15 last January? Totally insane.
I'm in a shitty mood today if you cannot tell already. It's been coming, I can't be positive all the time, and have to vent a little too.
So I'm grumpy that I'm not greedy and a little more selfish. Not anyone else's problem but mine. Not my place to tell anyone what to do. As you were.
I was supposed to be posting 4 paragraphs and 4 photos as promised the other day. This, even with shit photos and multiple spelling mistakes, would still guarantee a place amongst the better content. Stay in line, keep the content coming, take what's yours, right?
Soon... like SMT-Lite.
Anyone heard if appics have given up waiting?
From a recent email:
Note - the Steem account is only needed because our blockchain protocol is still under development since we are in Beta. Once the App publicly launches early 2019, you will have a separate APPICS account with an easy log-in!
Hmmmmm
Hey did anyone get the memo that Neds livestream wasn't taking place yesterday? I think I must have missed a post from Steemitblog notifying people or something? Maybe there was a tweet I didn't see?
Nope. Nothing. Large projects can slip on delivery date, I get that and have no issue. What I do have issue with is communication, or lack of.
People worked around your schedule Ned - radio shows were rescheduled, and early trips home from work were taken to listen to you.
Let the community know next time, please? There are people here not waiting to shit on your parade at any given opportunity, and I think you owe those people a little courtesy.
I think that's about all the negativity I have collected recently, I won't thank you for letting me share it 😛
My absolute favourite thing about blogging/vlogging on Steem right now is that there is seemingly less pressure (likely price related) to stay in line and say the right things. The increase in personal, open, and honest text I like very much. Of course, it can be more uplifting than the above. Next time.
Have a wonderful day!
