Has Steemit Let Us Down? Not Upvoting, Undoing Upvotes, Decrease in Payouts

in rant •  8 years ago 

I understand you feeling frustrated, but I think you will get better results by focusing on what YOU can do rather than blame Steem for it.

I remember my first few weeks were great, I had some really high value posts... then I stopped being a "brand new" user, so I got less support from big whales who were just egging me on basically, and my payouts went way down. It sucked. But, I kept working hard and got past the hump.

Keep in mind - almost all the whales have been here for a year, many have invested 20-40 hours per week to Steemit that whole time. Some are the witnesses who literally make this blockchain possible. You do not deserve the same rewards than them. I don't either.

It takes time to get to the top. If every single user could be on the top of the trending page within two weeks... that wouldn't even make sense!

    Hmmmm, I wasn't going to respond to this but since you upvoted it to top spot trending, I'll add $0.02 (my 2 cents - sorry didn't mean to make you think you'd get an upvote).

    I'll save my rants for my own blogs, but just wanted to ask if you read my post before commenting? I like to consider myself a rather smart being - I am not going to blame the bat for hitting my head, but rather the person holding the bat. In the same way, I am not blaming Steem but rather the behavior of users within new parameters.

    I am quite confident that team behind are much smarter than most of us anyway and it will be worked out. If now, we'll be elsewhere like yours.org

      I did read your posts - it's a good start, but nothing that deserve to reach the top of the trending page yet. Best of luck to you.
