Ted slammed his fist on the desk.
“I can’t believe my post only got a few measly pennies. And that shitty shitpost got that much? Bastardly bid-bots! Comparison is the thief of joy but I just can’t help it.”
Ted shut the laptop's lid. Time for a break from Steemit.
A meta and completely fictional tale (though I reckon maybe some of you can relate) for this week's 50 word story challenge hosted by @jayna.
@cizzo you were flagged by a worthless gang of trolls, so, I gave you an upvote to counteract it! Enjoy!!

Oh good. I'm glad it's fictional! For a moment, I thought it was autobiographical! Great job, @ cizzo.

I think it's called "greed," and it has replaced money as what makes the world go 'round.

Great story! Unfortunately too many can identify with it and we've lost a lot of good people lately.

Can't really blame people for leaving. Mixing social media+$ is an interesting experiment we are seeing unfold and can now clearly see the negatives. But there are lots of positives and some good communities have sprouted such as the 50 word stories :)

I think some take it too seriously. I'm having great fun here. Yes, there are a few bad eggs but, as you say, there are a lot of positives and a lot of great people.

Not taking it too seriously is probably the most important thing.
I think it's when people have put in a lot of time and effort into a story or post and it goes unrecognized they get discouraged. Steemit is more designed for quick turnover content, the 7 day payout window a clear indication.

I like your story and how it depicts the frustration of trying to create quality content for pennies while others reap the harvest because they have whale supporters or bots or money. Life is hard.

The rich get richer @jluvs2fly but there are a lot of positives here beyond just $, so I'm still sticking around though in a much more relaxed fashion :)
