❇️ REAL TALK: SORRY MINNOWS, YOU ARE NOT "ENTITLED" TO NOTHING ON STEEMIT! 😱😨😰

in charlesfuchs •  8 years ago  (edited)

Why Do Most Minnow Fail on Steemit? What Do They Need To Do About It? 🐠🐟🐡 

There is currently an epidemic with Minnows on Steemit. What do I mean by this? Well, everyday I seen hundreds of post from minnows bitchin on why its unfair for them. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻

I hear things from minnows complain about... "Why do they upvote their own comments", "They are always on the trending page", "They are lucky", "They have more Steem", "They only vote for themselves" ETC... ETC... It's Ridiculous and I find it funny. 😂🤣

These Dolphins and Whales deserve the status they own, they were the ones from the beginning that made STEEMIT what it is today. 🐬 🐳 🐋

Without them, this platform would not exist. 😱😨😰

Instead of complaining about them, you should thank them instead... they are the ones that put there time and money into STEEMIT from day one to make it what it is today.

"SORRY MINNOWS, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED!"


Before you get mad at me lol... I do know where you are coming from. I'm a fellow newbie and minnow myself, but do you see me bitchin and complaining about it on Steemit? 😒😞

Absolutely NOT, I put my head down and write the best content that I possibly can. I spend hundreds of hours this month working my ass off learning everything I can and making connections with Dolphins and Whales instead complaining about them.

These are the type of things I would like to see more from you minnows do... More Action, Less Bitchin. 😃👨‍💻

Since Day one when I first started, I told many of you that you will see me document everything. I'm on my way to dolphin status and I'm going to do every single thing possible to help every Minnow.

With that being said, I hope you Minnows don't take this personally, it's just constructive criticism. 😋 ❤️

My end game is make tons of Dolphins and a few whales with steemit and make this place the best Social Media Network Ever.

LET GO DO THIS... NO BITCHIN, JUST HARD WORK. 🙋‍♂️

I like to say, "Where the hell were these people when Steem was $.07 and I was earning $5 per post?" I have written every day since August of last year. Put in the work and get rewarded. I just UPVOTED this comment 100% ; )

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

That's what I like to hear... Real Talk From my boy @hilarski ... Let me 100% this too :)

I vote 97% on this commentary are 0.01, for me it is the same to vote 0.01 or 100, in the end it is, a single vote, maybe in the future things will change, also the whales have won their position, now the new ones, we must do what we have to do.

Every penny counts @semre haha... most people start that way and rise up. You'll be there soon enough. :)

Things change as your account grows.

Hell yes. Same here, brother. If I hadn't taken a six month hiatus to finish a novel, I'd probably be a lot further ahead, but I've been riding this train since August 2016 and I have no intentions of stopping lol

He I wrote a very similar article about this yesterday I hope you dont mind I share it here, since it is related to the topic, if so I will of course remove it

https://steemit.com/steem/@flipstar/upvoting-your-own-comments-yay-or-nay-a-newbie-dolpinhs-view

Totally fine with me @flipstar... anything of value is always good with me 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

Great articles guys! Just read both of them and couldn't agree more. Hard work and consistency will allow minnows to become dolphins and whales!

thx a lot.

thx. If you find time I would of course also very interested in your opinion but I think we are pretty much on the same page with different reasons.

I got you :)

I for one can't stand the "me me me" mentality.
You are entitled to nothing!
Get over yourselves.
You want to eat here... Earn it!
Steem on!

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

There's no "me" and "entitle" in "mentality"!

...oh wait

Let's Go! I learned a long time ago, the more you give... the more you get back. Entitlement is earned :)

I agree with you @stackin, I just started and I plan to be a dolphin. People who complain won't succeed at all :)

Those are the type of words we all need need to hear from people in this community :)

what are all these terms !? whats a minnow and whats a dolphin....or is dolphin before whale?

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Very we'll put. People seem to think that they should receive rewards instantly after joining. Sure I do occasionally vote up verified intro posts and random newcomers where I see effort has been put into the posts but more users need to view this as an investment much like anywhere else in the world. Do you make money instantly when starting out on Youtube? What about Twitch? Instagram? Even at your work after signing a contract payday comes first after at least a month of hard work.

PS. You had a funny typo (begging ->beginning) :D

Darn @acidyo .. I had burning anger when writing this just now and I can't spell, I'll fix it HAHA. People like you motivate me, you already know what it takes to become a winner. You have a loyal follower for life! :)

Haha yeah I can understand that, you should see how spammy my DM's on Steemit.chat are lately, feels like I need a vacation from seeing links to posts.

Keep stackin' ;)

wow... I don't even get on that chat thingy... I bet you get tons of saying, can up vote me even though my post sucks kinda type messages LOL ... I give you permission to take a 3 hour break hehe

your post suck?

Emoji ✔
Real talk ✔
Dem Pics ✔
Dem Ceps ✔

Your post definitely doesnt suck.

I wish more commenters were like you<3

I do my best, acid..
;D

That was an important comma there :D

I can't imagine what @acidyo 's DMs look like. I'd be clawing my eyes out after seeing all the shit posts F4F requests. lol

Keep on stackin!

he was blind by anger writing...and to put down some common sense to get these actions across. bravo sir. there are many ways to keep on steeming and crypto along.

You are one of those UNICORNS that just showed up on an article and then disappeared. So I thank you for the boost because you actually DO F'N care ;)

go go go bro...💯🐳🤑👍💪🍺

My Mannnn @homeartpictures always supportin you boy... Appreciate boss!

welcome bro!!

You are working my dude, so hard work done right pays off! Good job and you deserve it! The only thing people see in success is someone on top. They don't even consider the blood sweat and tears! WORK! Nothing good comes too easy. People thought they'll be rich off steemit over night.. Lol! Great post! $107.46 because you just spit truth! With a lot of work I know my post will get there! No crying over here bro, just grinding!

Keep grinding!

I seeeee youuuuu @oldtimer :) ... mad investor in the company, respect :) haha

Crazy, maybe?

LOL

Lets go make it happen @boomerangbread ... Appreciate your support. We are going to become legends lol

Legends.. I like the sound of that!

That is a very important topic. Thanks for bringing that on the table.
Full 💯 upvoted and resteemed.

I'm bringin some cold hard truth to the table 😂😂😂

Hi @stackin

I am also a fellow minnow myself like yourself. It makes me little bit mad getting comments begging for upvotes & follows, their comments has nothing to do with the subject matter.

I know it feels bad working on a post and not getting many views or votes, but it's part of the learning experience while building up a following and I wish more new people can accept this and make the best of it.

Yeah, you should see how many I get. I tend to ignore those kinds of responses of the follow me and ill follow you stuff. Reminds me of early Social Media platforms. My first post made .23 few weeks ago haha

I noticed early on that it's easier to engage with other members on their posts and discuss their posts than just begging for votes. I hate when it happens to me so won't beg 4 votes from other people.

I don't post every single day because of the low amount of followers but try and post at least every few days, so I can get the experience to become better, trying something new or different every time.

I don't mind someone posting a link to one of their posts in the comments, but as long as they also there to discuss my post or give comments or advice.

Anyway enjoy ur day.

I'm so mad at your for telling the truth. Ugh I can't believe that you would do that to all the minnows that are complaning about various issues here!! I kid, I kid people either need to work hard, or pour there own hard earned money into the platform. There isn't a shortcut and I'm not sure why so many here are so entitled and think they deserve an easy hand out.

If it were so easy, honestly I think this place would become a cesspool and become and complete and utter failure!

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Haha @stackin my buddy, you said it all. I started 3 weeks ago and work very hard to grow and seeing the result.
Instead of hating on the people who built this platform, people should appreciate them and work hard to achieve the status...win win for all.

Also See my blog post for a link to collect free crypto, a one time opportunity.
Success.

You know what @charles1 ... I can see you grindin, I see you around steemit all the time. With so much noice out there, you are standing out and that a good thing. Lets win!

Amen my buddy,amen. Fired up and ready to go!!!

Some ppl want something for nothing, so they complain cuz they dont have the value of putting their sweat and blood into it. Others who put in the action, usually dont complain cuz they understand theres a process to be done

Just like with everything people feel like they can do nothing to get something its a horrible mentality and one people need to start waking up from! Adding value and learning along with spending a great deal of time on a program is key.

I see this in the marketing world all the time, people jump on the next greatest big thing work it for a week and expect to retire and get pissed when they cant. It totally floors me as to why anyone could even think such a thing in a world of near instant gratification.

Thats the the truth... I call it the shiny ball syndrome lol ... they see something new and they do it and expect success without doing any work, its kinda sad to see. Great comment my man!

success takes time, people love get rich quick and don't want to put in the time or work for it. Write one post make nothing and then give up is why most aren't progressing.

Totally agree, they need to put the work in and have tons of patience 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

You can upvote your own comments?

Yes bosslady... by the way, I see dophins 🐬🐬🐬😂😂😂

And by the way, Day 1 of using this platform and I am catching up to your reputation. Look out 😘😈

Come and get some! It's like the first day of signing up for facebook, people were like, how do Indo this thing 😂

Hahaha definitely.

Remember how MySpace just fizzled? Nothing new under the sun.

Well damn.

This platform is like learning programming all over again 😂

You remind of something my father once spoke to me about when watching the discovery channel.

So to give you context we were watching an Australian Aborigonal catch fish.

The Aborigine only went for the little fish.
I laughed and told my father that if he just caught one big fish he could eat for the day, but instead he chooses to catch the little ones.

My father in turn said: its because if he eats all the big fish there wouldnt be fish old enough to make more fish.

Its in that wisdom that I realised we younger ones live in live the world of now , this disposable world , a world where great ideas are supposed to pay off, instead of patiences and perseverance. We expect it to, yet its just an illusion. Dont be so quick to judge the big fish were also once little ones..

Congrats to you for almost achieving dolphin status. I strive to get there myself, I am committed to being more active and producing quality post...peace

I haven't received it yet, just a tiny minnow here still haha... lets go make it happen :)

be like. ( I need money ) hahaha good info

My response would be, "keep on stackin" 😂🤑

@stackin Ain't this the stinking truth!

That Gif may hurt lots of feelings haha

This post has received a 5.13 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @stackin.

HEY NOW... totally fine with me. People don't realize we all start from the beginning like everyone else lol

Once of my first posts: $.28 HAHA so I know where you coming from, now your are a BEAST :)

https://steemit.com/steemit/@stackin/wow-steem-at-usd2-02-need-your-opinion-should-i-buy-now

So true, stackin! A profound old saying goes, "Nobody owes you nothin'" Yes, this is bad English, but really profound wisdom.

The best way to get ahead is to figure out how you can add value to others. This requires study and hard work. Then do it! Sitting around complaining doesn't cut it. Taking positive action that gets results is what matters.

Oh, and another thing, we don't care how "hard" you worked. We don't care how many hours it took you. What matters is results as defined by the person receiving.

Focus on creating value for them and you'll do well. You have a powerful message stackin. Please continue. I like your approach!

I really don't have to say much in this comment, You did a perfect job! Thanks @terrybrock! Be Great!

Good point, buddy... way too much whining on here

This is a no cry baby zone haha ... they can go to facebook for that :)

True

Well said player! I was actually planning on writing about this too; will definitely be linking to you in it...if there's one thing that bugs me, it's entitlement for sure

Apppreshhh @theywillkillyou ... You already know the grind, you went through on youtube, you put in the work and created a great channel.

Btw back in LV next month, let's link up & talk shop when I'm in town :) I feel like we can make some big moves online! And thanks for the kind words!

I totally agree. Its not like the whales all threw fits when HF19 reduced the rewards they recieved

Most people just see success like it just happens to people, they dont see the daily grind and thousands of hours work put into it :)

I'm gonna give you a follow as I'm interested in more seeing more on your journey to dolphin status.

WHOAAAA. Thanks a lot for the follow :)

Actually, their reaction is completely understandable - starting fast, getting to 40+ and make some money in the first week , then... looks like all things become more slow: you need much more time and efforts for getting up to 50+

and as a result minnows become tired and frustrated

When you just a newbie - you just have fun here. After crossing 40 you need to work on 150% for moving further and this is huge extra effort. There are a lot of people just quit steem or start to complain about.

Totally agree with you on this @allfabeta, have tons of fun... my first awesome post made like .23 cents hahaha. Sp many new people quit steemit then go back on FB with there drama and do it free. SMH SMH LOL

So much truth in one post! Keeping the learning curve!

I'm keepinnit real today, a few might get butt hurt 😂😂😂

Yep! Sounds legit! 😉 Sometimes we forget Rome wasn't built in a day.... Keep up the good work brah! Happy and proud of you!💖

Your doing well @athenjade! Been watching your journey, you had several big posts, proud of you fellow Minnow 🐠😂💖

Ye I've been working hard and have been getting some crazy support as well! It's quite surreal actually.... 👊🏼 and stay awesome man!

I've been around for a year and still have minnow status because I desperately powered down and I still ain't bitchin' The bitchin' won't get them anywhere. I never saw a single whale a year ago spending their energy complaining even before they had whale status. These people should focus more on the writing. :) Great post. Hopefully it'll get through to a few people.

You are so right... I've been seeing you all over the place, I see the hustle you put in steemit and thats a good thing. You have a follower for life :)

Aw thanks. :) I am definitely not afraid of some virtual elbow grease. XD I am following you too now.

tonsof elbow Grease, just been here for about three weeks, I'm getting the hang of it. I just need to buy more steem power 🤑😀

I like your post, however is really true that whales earn their steem you can and many do just buy their steem, nothing wrong with it, thats just the nature of the platform, you can buy power here.

You can do both, if you buy steem power... its like being an investor in the platform... they should have more power and say. They got skin in the game :)

There's also an epidemic of people scrolling their feed for trending topics and regurgitating the same info for upvotes.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Yeah, I've been seeing that. I think most people need to write new things. What about some personal and emotional kinda stuff. This is a social network, we want to see those things 😀

Did you see the post I did on this exact same entitlement problem this morning?

I am a minnow and I totally agree with you we are not entitled to anything but we are entitled to put in some hard work and learn how this platform works⭐️☺️⭐️
Happy Wednesday 🎀

I want to give permission to all minnows that you can do this 😬💖

🙌🏻☺️🙌🏻

All very good points my man, it takes time and dedication to grow here. Nothing happens overnight. Stop chasing the numbers and grow your brand

I've been seeing you grindin Bossman! Lovin that 56 Rep score already 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

Thank you @stackin

Doing my best to get up there with the big boys and girls. Not doing bad yourself :D

@stackin, I am a newbie about 9 days old, with a couple of blogs only. What's a Dolphin. How does one become a Dolphin here?

There so many definitions of being a dolphin, I heard it's about 5000+ steem power minimum 😬🐬

@stackin, aww!! That's some distance for me. May be a month to become a Dolphin myself. Got to keep my head down and write. 😊

I believe in you @topdog ... you got this :)

True. You have to work for success. Don't sit around and expect money to fall into your hands. Come on.

Seems to be the main difference between those that acheive and those that get left behind. Consistent Obsessive hard work and risk taking.

So many people want something from doing nothing these days 🤔😀

@brucebrownftw resiliency.

So very true! All you got to do is work work work work work .. cant find the right GIf but i am sorry this wel be stuck in your head for at least a while . (Hint: Rihanna) ;-)

I wouldn't mind seeing a Rihanna Gif right now 🤤😂

Hahaha I know. 😏

Awesome post, I appreciate this article. I do notice lots of people doing that, for me, I just work myself off. I do Steemit when I'm at home, at work, even when I'm on my commute. There's no excuse for failing and all you have to blame is yourself.

Bossman, I see your grindin, we started almost at the same time. You got this in the bag 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Got to do my best. Cheers!

Love your attitude man! Upvoted, resteemed.

BOSSMAN right there! :)

Mahh Man(NO HOMO:) may I resteem this great post?

Peace!

HAHAHAHA... of course bossman :)

WILL DO! ;)

nice article, keep it up

Thanks boss! :)

bro whenever i see your posts i have a song in my head that just repeats
"everybodies talkin bout stackin, talkin bout stackin"
i dont think it even exists but its so catchy

I need someone to create me a hiphop kinda intro... STACKIN HAHA

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

xD i sense a contest coming up

dolphin train, ahooooooy! It will be interesting to see the types sort themselves out in PAL... you can tell early on who's in, and who's just got their toe in. I'm here to share, I'm here to do well, I'm here to upvote those who take the time to comment on my stuff and do right by me.

BUT I HAVE TO GET MY OWN ASS THERE FIRST

I can see big things from you in the future, when you become a dolphin don't forget about your bot @stackin HAHA

never! where we go we go together!

(my bot or my boy?? oooooh, your terrible secret has been revealed! 😘 )

HAHA, damn iphone 7... small ass keyboard, im to lazy to fix it haha

It all in how you play the system.. You can cry about it all day long and it will not change your situation. You can focus on what's workings and trending and jump on the damn ship and make them STEEM! Another great post brother, that's the shit I like!

That's what happens when you allow your education system to become a liberal indoctrination system. People think that everyone should get first place, even if they came in dead last. If they fail a test, the test should be made easier. If they can't be successful without really doing anything, it's some kind of "ism" and someone else's fault. Everything now is all about how low standards can be made and how many "pity passes" can be had.

No one is entitled to have their way. Some just don't mind putting in the work and gaining the knowledge to make their own way.

Whooaaa, that's some deep thinking stuff right here... totally true 🙌🏼

So many great thoughts on this post I don't know where to start... So lets start with this one.

Instead of complaining about them, you should thank them instead

Drop the mic, then pick it back up because the rest of your post is money. Like you said, you spent time getting to know these heavy hitters before starting out.

You took the time to network and LEARN, which is key to success. Plus, I often wonder: how much have these newbies invested in the process instead of asking for pity? Thanks for the share always a pleasure reading!

Sometimes I have to drop the mic haha ... they need to get out and there and build relationships with people but they are doing the opposite. great comment!

Just trying to keep up with the cool kids :) thanks for the reply!

Love it! Totally agree......I've seen many ppl like that even in real life. But there are 2 things I've learned: there is no such thing as a happy victim and how you do anything is how you do everything. Totaly new for me this whole steemit but the idea alone is amazing.....how can someone complain? We create what we receive. Wish you the best❤

Truth, great comment :)

Yes, yes, yes . . . absolutely! If the minnows (aka me) want to create something with @steemit then do the work to be the dolphins and whales. Those who've been here working their asses off to get their status deserve everything they have. I'm planning on doing the same! I'm so glad that I found @steemit.

Check out my page @stephiesawyer. I've only been posting for about a week now but I'm having so much fun!

Fair play well said. I'm new round here but trying to learn fast on what the right and wrong things are to do on here haha xD

@stackin, again you did it. Hope you don't mind that I used your post to make a minnow clear that he got everything wrong with steemit

You are a good inspiration. Wonder how many apply your preachings.

Yessss Charles! No bitchinnn, just keep writing the the best content and Be consistent!

Sheshhh, you have a better rep score than me, I am going to catch up :-)

and where did you find this rep score? lol

Absolutely well said @stackin. Hard work will surely pay in the end.

People these days just want it now kinda attitude... If that is the case, they need to buy $100k of steem power without the work haha

Yeah they all want everything RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!! Work work and work, you will hit it!

Keep on that grind :)

"No bitchin', just hard work!" This is a great motto. 😊
No matter where you are in the Steemit pool, just do your best and don't be frustrated at the bigger swimmers. They had to work hard to get where they are, too!

Love that motto, we should make a tshirt haha... Let's start swimming with some dolphins :)

Like Dory! "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. . ." 😊

I sure wish I could hear the audio on that gif. I bet it's hilarious.

He had a high pitch child like sound lol

Lol. I might have to go find it online.

But bitching about it got me some upvotes ;)

Reverse psychology :)

Complainers never achieve anything!

You are so right @lulita, I always have to catch myself doing that... i'm like... I can do better :)

We all have flaws... As soon as we turn into the right direction, we will be able to set a new path. It's a constant effort.

Love the wisdom! 😀

I am not bitching because I know it takes time and work and patience to go from point A to point B.

Boom! Massive ACTION :)

Exactly

Nobody should be bitching about anything @stackin ! All they need to do is ask for advice. I've been doing that since day one. I've already learned so many things, and I know for sure now that one of the most important things you can do as a minnow is get yourself some followers, and most importantly, some friends. Make yourself noticed, and not by content, but by comments, upvotes and activity.

True words my mannnn... its a social game, get real and personal. It's all about the people, Great comment!

True, complaining won't get us anything and will only waste our time for... for complaining (lol). Better use our valuable time to learn and do our best.
Oh and by the way, I need to ask something. When do people here will be considered as a dolphin or a whale? Is there something I missed? In the FAQ section, maybe?

I think a mini dolphin is about 5000 steem power. :)

Let's do this bro 😊

Upvoted! I agree...it takes time to build a following. ..and work..but as @jetiknight says be yourself have fun it will come naturally. ..give thanks and proper respects to the ones making it...they worked...no bitching here:) :) Hi I'm Kayleigh and thanks for posting :) :)

You're awesome... been here for 45 days, I am still on the grind. Followed ya :)

Thank You very much!! I don't have much time to make blogs with the move and all but I put hours in everyday upvoting commenting and talking to people grinding it out...meeting a lot of great people :) :) thank you for following. ..I already was following you :) :) ..we all rock !! Kayleigh

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I agree 100%, bitchin gets you nowhere and fast. Head down and keep marching. Regardless of upvotes you receive, this is the place to be. Our future is bright, get some sunglasses!

I just lost my sunglasses, I better get 20 of them because the future is really bright lol 😎😎😎

Excellent post. I agree. Slow progress is better than no progress

You're absolutely right Charles. If people stopped complaining about others and focused on themselves, they would get better results no matter what it is in life. We are all the captain of our own ship.

Yes! people need to take responsibly on what happens to them, thanks... just got another idea for my post haha

Your mind is working overtime here in Steemit :)

Good points. One additional comment - while whales and dolphins spent time creating the platform, minnows are the ones sustaining the platform. There has to be incentive (based on quality of content) for minnows to continue supporting the platform. Just my 3 cents! (not 2 because that is all the upvote power that I have, even though on steemnow it shows 6 cents!)

Upvoted and following you.

Good insight! 3 cents... haha, appresh man!

For almost everyone, others walked the path before you. Stay humble, pay homage.

Yes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great post @charlesfuchs !!

Sorry I lost too much power today 😲 ...

No problem, I need to recover a bit today also 😂

Yes me too !!😂😂

I think the real question is.... whats a Minnow....?

Ive been here for 2 days and have never seen that word in my life

There are tons of articles, go the FAQ at the top right :)

Upvoted, resteemed, followed.

So Kind :)

Yep yep yep, learn or burn yo!!

Simple as that :)

Good info.

Thanks for the invite to your super star group!! I look forward to learning and contributing 🐋🐬

Never gotten into the whiny bs. Either work, or don't.

This post received a 0.6% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @stackin! For more information, click here!

Big things come from small things. Maybe some of us thought that prospering here is like noodles or coffee;instant that's why they whine.

hahaha like noodles. XD

haha

It's rough being a minnow for sure. Life isn't fair. I'm a minnow as far as my wallet goes.

Let's keep on stackin haha :)

💪🏽💪🏽

Are you flexin on me haha :)

Yes, you have to put in the time. You have to make the comments. You have to make the blogs. You have to be creative. Everybody's got a story. Let's do story time bloggin. When you work in the Steem it gets pretty hot. When you work in the Steem it gets kind of uncomfortable. Know that the work is worth the Steem.

Yes :)

Stop Talkin and Start Doin ! gotta start DIggin in myself @Stackin ... keep on being AWESOME !!

Sorry Minnows, You are Not Entitled.

Tell that to myself everyday.
Works no matter where i am, what im doing.

Boss, that how you do it :)

Also, Charles, Check out something I just wrote. I won't post a link. Not sure if that is ok to do or not, but if you want to navigate to my home page and check it out I would appreciate it. It's called, persistence is perfection. Thanks my man

Sonny, back in the day, when us oldies started, we had to work our asses off for bugger all as minnows. Then the price went up, and we got paid. You bitches already are getting paid at current prices. We went through 10 cent, even down to 7.5 cent steem! smug toothless grin

Powerful... people tend to not know the real facts :)

Great article. I'm a slow starting minnow but I'll be a whale in the future. No bitching from me ever.

Whale status all the way :)

Most of the ones screaming "not fair" have no clue what they're talking about anyway. Take it from a Red Fish.

Totally agree... i was a redfish 26 days ago :)

I have to agree with your points.
It takes time to learn everything here and come up with content, that people will like, or even debate, nothing wrong with that. Everyone has a different view of things.
Good article.

Thanks!

I said many times, in some of my articles that quality content is what gets you money on Steemit, not complaining and creating articles that have an image and maybe a few lines of text.

I'm new here myself, however, I managed to have some success just because I worked hard to create the best content i can.

That is, I believe, the only and best way to evolve on Steemit and actually make some money. It will take a while, because everyone has the same goal, and you need to prove you have something more valuable than other people, but at the end, it's worth all the work.

I'd love to see people struggling to create high quality content instead of trying to get a few cents with all their "articles" containing one image and maybe some text.

Nice article, really liked it, i wish you best of luck! :)

Thanks boss... you have lots of great points :)

That's right, work is the key to success, love that you're hustling! HighQuality.png

Best logo of the day :)

Aw yeah! We used it as part of a recent blog post on being a good human but I couldn't resist popping it in here; totally appropriate. Rock on!

Well, i kind of get it.. i mean it ISNT fair is it!! but thats life.. Life isnt fair, until it is.. and then you are quiet about it!

TRUTH BE TOLD :)

if you're passionate about something you'll make it happen - i know it's hard to believe but hard work is a constant, doesn't matter what you do or where you go - passion is the key and will differentiate the strong and weak !!!

Strong words my mannnn... these words will motivate the confused :)

Thanks! - Ya got to hear what you don't want to hear if you're ever going to grow! thanks for the post!

I joined recently but been researching Steemit for a long time prior. You're right. There's a lot of bartering for votes, scheming and entitlement going on. The profiles that are successful produce their own shit every day.

Seems to me that people think that government handouts should apply here and that everyone is owed a degree of success. Not sure where on this planet someone has to grow up to expect to be owed success. I don't know anyone who just got instant rewards because the guy next to him earned his. This isn't the lottery.

Resteeming.

Agreed, just put so much value out there that people must pay attention to you. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

i appreciate anything good...and yes initial user are the one who brought steemit to this position where it is now... :)

Appreciate ya :)

Not taking it personally ! Am I even a minnow yet ?

Were all minnows ... unless you just signed up, your a redfish haha

Good post bro. Keep up the hustle. And do me a favor and respond to my IG message please, it's kind of urgent lol.

Apppreshhhh brotha, I haven't logged in. I get hundreds of messages a day on all my platforms. Ill check shortly.

Thanks brother. Talk soon

You are right. Everything I need to do is hard work. I made few post. Will you tell me how I am doing ? @jubayer1

Thank you @stackin

You paint with a pretty broad brush.

Accusing all minnows of being whiny little bitches is just as bad as saying all whales are circle jerking pricks.

It just aint so.

In a little over a month I've made almost 1500 posts and have over 300 followers with no follow4follow bullshit.

In fact, when someone new asks for that, I send them to a post explaining why it's a bad idea.

A little moderation would be more helpful to people willing to work hard and succeed here.

He also misled everyone into thinking that he actually built a following of 3000 from scratch. I got him to cover his tracks but that's one of my duties here. I make bullshit artists even better bullshit artists. :-)

I suppose I should be somewhat grateful, he did inspire this post: https://steemit.com/stee/@theblindsquirl/rant-about-follow-beggars-hey-whales-upvote-my-shit

I'd stay as clear as possible from this guy. Look at the new post he put up asking everyone's opinion about whether he should buy STEEM at the current price. 3/4 of the way into the video he makes sure everybody knows how slick he is where he's showing the chart and he says >>>"We were buying here." as he points out the low on the chart. My advice to this clown is that if he was slick enough to be buying that low he doesn't need anyone's advice. He's obviously putting up as many spews as he can to generate as much income as he can from the steemit flock of sheep. Wiggers like this clown are the worst that this site has to offer.

Oh, there are definitely worse than him.

Oh, I know, I am targeting the worst of the worst. I'm gonna single handedly take him down and make him cry. Actually, the market itself is going to make him go silent. :-)

I care more about the message he's sending and the people who's behavior he may have an influence on.

It's one thing to cut your own throat for a few quick bucks, it's something completely different to drag unsuspecting, easily influenced people down with you.

That reflects poorly on all of us, even if our only misdeed was allowing it to happen.

Ehhh, imo opinion 90%+ of the people in the world are followers and always will be followers. There's nothing you can do or say to change the thought process. It's a good thing actually because when you get 90% of everybody thinking the same way they are usually wrong. And that creates tremendous opportunity. I'm more concerned about those who will act on the opinions of these charlatans. The one guy I said was the worst of the worst for instance has a HUGE following. I call him the poster boy for the bitcoin bubble. He is always breaking out the champagne and cigars and saying "this is only the beginning!" when things are at a peak and about to reverse for a 30% drop...and then he says nothing when there is a chance for the sheeple to actually buy and make some money. Yet no matter how much pain he causes to the 5% of those who actually act on his advice...the 90% consider him a god. :-)

Typical...Charles the Fuchs head just flagged the original spew I made towards him where I called him out on his tactics. He talks about whiners and crybabies...and then he goes and flags me simply because he can't handle the truth. I think I will downgrade 90% of Charles Fuchs entire sub base to lemmings from sheeple. Anyone who generates one dime of income for this jerkoff "deserves" to stay on his level :-)

Great work dear.
Fllow+ . Upvote +

I will be glad if see ur great vote on my page

Agreed. Simply put in the work.

I wouldn't consider you a minnow since you already had a sizable following at another social media platform. If you review the current list of trending posts you will see that a large % of those people already had a large following elsewhere and simply directed them to steemit so that they could reap the benefits. If you want to talk down to the level of a minnow, then at least get down to the level of a minnow first. I'm not complaining. Steemit is the very first social media site I have ever posted content on because I like the way it is set up. I am a student of the markets and this site allows me to log my thoughts in a way that no other social media platform does. I don't even care about the money because I know that the chances that steemit will continue to pay content providers going forward are about slim and none. When the money being missallocated to the epicenter of the current stock market bubble (Silly Con Valley, Cali) goes away, so will the ability of steemit to pay content providers.

What does that have to do with anything, I didn't tell anyone of my other social media websites at all when I first started and built it from scratch for a whole month. Most of these people who are doing well, started from the ground up.

This is the problem I see in life, people tend to assume things all the time. That guy is successful because of this and that. I call bullshit, you know how many hours I put into steemit. More than 1000 people combined and do did the people who are doing great.

I am not here bashing you but the nonsense and victim mentality has to stop or people will never become successful, concluding that's why more people are average.

Also, about the hours you put in to provide "great" content. You are a dinosaur, but you don't realize it yet. You will realize it soon enough though. You "might" want to learn to do something that is actually useful to society because it won't be long before you social media windfall goes bye bye.
