I wrote earlier a post about how Steemit would be if there would be no rewards. Obviously some took it the wrong way. Sometimes I write something and I expect others to have followed through my earlier posts from 2016. Silly Me. So let me explain myself further.
If I ever made the grave mistake and produce offspring, Steemit would be the first place I would introduce to them. I wouldn't praise Steemit. I wouldn't try to promote it as the best thing since sliced bread. I would simply point out and say "Look son, this is a micrograph of the shit world I brought you in without your permission. If you don't like it, well, better get used to it or end yourself".
Part of the joy in Steemit is to be able to write whatever the fuck you want without caring what others think. For example, I had earlier a guy say to me "Hmm, it seems that multiple people use the account @kyiacos because sometimes the language is nice and pretty and sometimes it is hasty and has many mistakes". Well, no shit Sherlock. I don't sit here having in mind that I will be perceived as the next Hemingway. I write because I like to write and getting paid for the shit I write. Sometimes it comes out good. Sometimes is shit. I rarely edit. I would quit Steemit if I had to go through proofreading. It would seem like i am dressing up for a date, putting make up, you know, being a pretentious little prick for the sake of approval from some random douchebags.
The absolute beauty of Steemit is that it incorporates the exact same dynamics as the ones taking place in the real world. You have your whales at the top of the pyramid who are there for the simple reason of being first. Then you have your groupies and the guilds/parties with the mini-whales that pretend they assist communities. It goes much like it goes to any big company. The boss sits in the office, takes a tour every now and then down in the factory and pats randomly some guy on the back "Good work, good work, keep it up, here is an upvote/raise". And the shitshow goes on. In reality, we know that the boss that takes x10000 times more usually jerks off in some porn, plays with the computer and delegates the work to some passionate plebs that run the shitshow for him. Why? Well because he inherited the company/account or because he is friends with other whales.
Even the "self-made-men" here on steemit are people who got in early, got a massive delegation, build a massive account in a couple of months and now they are whales. Anyone could be in their position — but of course they believe they are special — much like in the real world.
And again. This is fine. I would pick this any day of the week rather than sitting on facebook and crafting every comment as if I am going to post it to the fucking Queen. It is fine because I would neck myself if I had to see on my wall another plate of food or how awesome the life of X person is when I know that they are miserable as fuck. The pretentiousness in any other social media is much more ridiculous than Steemit. The political correctness if way too suffocating at least for a foul shithead like myself. I prefer the mad max world of Steemit rather than the wonderland of the little pony that is facebook.
I consider Steemit the training ground for the real world. Most people will shut the fuck up and collect the rewards from their friend whales. Some others will make a post a month or 2 or 5 but make sure they are darn fucking awesome posts so they can excuse the x1000 in rewards they are getting. Same applies in real life. Some will jerk off in the office most of the time and wait for the right moment to deliver something good so that the boss can say "maybe this shithead is not wasting my money after all". The content is irrelevant ofcourse because the special boy got the job because he knew the boss or the daddy knew the boss. Again, same shit happens in real life.
The renegades will make bots and leach on every new post. These are small scammers that you also meet daily in life. The whales will sometimes cross dicks just to establish territory even if the rest of people are getting fucked. This happens in here as well. The plebs will pick sides and expect that their groupies will circle jerk enough for them to shine. The same companies lead the way much like the same people are trending even if they are absolutely worthless pieces of shit The wealth is concentrated on the 1% while the 99% fights for the breadcrumbs.
Steemit is my colosseum. A glorious micro-scale planet Earth with all of the dynamics packed in a small ecosystem. All that vile and shit that makes us human, it is all here folks. All those gems and diamonds that are lost in the piles of shit. All those who choose to see things "positively" because they happen to be the lucky ones. All of those cursing it because they are not favoured. All those pretending to care. It's beautiful I tell you. Fucking magnificent.
