You say you love what you do but you are pissed about the fact that you are not being paid enough ?

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago 

Let me tell you what you actually love : Money , that's all !

A lot of fellow Steemers have addressed this matter but I feel I a different angle on it, so here it is :

The usual bitching topics -

"Why I did not receive at least a $200+ payout on my wonderful , 3hrs+ in the making , post ? "

"Why do Whales up-vote so much women posts"

"Why does a single Whale have such a big influence in contrast of the other 100+ Minnows that have up-voted too."


INTRO :


Ladies and Gentlemen : you are here like you where on Reddit , Facebook or any given social platform before and have the same rights.. in fact it's even better :
You may write anything about anything you want in a anonymous and uncensored social platform.
Yes - censorship does not work on a block-chain social networks like Steemit and I am a bit surprised I did not find as much otherwise censored content around here to be honest , maybe in time...

Only THAT should be enough for you to be happy, period !

Anybody bitching about low payouts , sexist whale patterns or unbalanced up-voting power should remember that you are part of an ecosystem , and in any given ecosystem there is a top of the food ( voting power ) chain :
So called "Sexist" and "overpowered" : Our Whales


WHALES CATCHING :

"Why I did not receive at least a $200+ payout on my wonderful , 3hrs+ in the making , post ? "

Very simple : You want to catch a whale ? You must have what it takes to feed it , AND some luck !
Those big whales have needs for delicate food and have feeding times... it is statistically getting harder and harder to lure one but fear not : The best form of success is happiness !
Be happy , be yourself and you will do just great on Steemit !


Offtopic : Thank God Steemit has arrived .. or else nobody would have given the whales ( The real ones ! ) any...

Attention

You know those poor animals are beeng killed all over the world as we speak , right ?

WHALES AND THE PRETTIER SEX :

"Why do Whales up-vote so much women posts"

The Whale up-votes too many ( idiot ) chick post ?
Whale population is formed from an overwhelming men-whale percentage
Now : you cannot be angry because men-whales tend to easier vote female content.
Do remember that behind every men-whale education was a... women ! ( no offense )
Anyways : it will all straighten itself out , think about it : men-whales are basically up-voting woman-minnows into a woman-dolphin population in a matter of weeks.
Guess what is going to happen next : All your "under appreciated" Art , Love , Relationship , Life , etc posts will be up-voted and rewarded from a more sensitive audience : The Women-dolphins.
Just wait for it , it is going to happen , all good things require patience.


WHALES - Voting power :

"Why does a single Whale have such a big influence in contrast to the other 100+ Minnows that have up-voted ."

Let's start from the beginning .. how did the whales became , ehmm : whales ?
Simple : these were the first , the first investors , the first people that made Steemit what it is today.

Where were you when Steemit was just a 1000 people gig ?!

Yes , whales can up-vote a post in such a fashion that renders 500 minnows votes almost invisible or : oh boy when one down-votes !
Your post instantly goes from a " normal post " to a "great post " or on the later case to a " invisible post "
This is partially true : The , lets say , 500 votes are there and means you had a good content and that your content was viewed by those Steemit users , if all else fails : you made a small impact and lured in impressions , votes and comments.
Do not take it personally if no whale has voted your content , or if you got a down-vote from one.
The Steem Power amount does not represents one's character , it just represents the value of a given account, that's all.
( no offense... again ! )


Bottom line : Too many people regret the things the have NOT done, don't let Steemit be one of them.


PS : My Ninja-Rabbit told me my post might look a bit sexist ( yes I do ask her what she thinks about some posts before posting )

Let me just get the facts straight : I love , respect and appreciate women , especially my Rabbit :)

"My favorite playground is a woman's body , but my favorite toy is her mind."


PPS : Again the Rabbit suggested I do not have a " Introduceyourself " post.
I hope this will serve that purpose as well :

Introducing our selfs : Ninja-Rabbit and Cryptoninja

Hy there !

:D

Good intro post @cryptoninja - spoken like a sage!

Thank you !

Live life.
Be, because.
Hate the haters and you hate yourself.

Big ups, bredren. Bless Iyah!

Hypocrite.

You again :)
What makes me a hypocrite ? Please I really want to have your opinion on this ... or you just came here to troll ?

Word to your mother.

Hey Cryptoninja, I believe I accidentally transferred around 379 STEEM to your account. I would be very grateful if you could send this back. As you can see, my name is also cryptoninja so I don't understand why steemit allowed me to create an account when the name was already taken.

Thank you.

I wish to at least be a dolphin someday~ I won't promise I'll help others but I promise I'll do the same as now, upvoting everything I like as long as I have a voting power!! (and this comes from ahmadmanga, a person who hate giving promises)


Sorry: didn't notice this post was made a year ago... Sorry again!!
