G'day Steemians!
I was tagged by @vincy to do this, but it's something that I have been thinking about for a while.
Why am I here on Steem?
What is my motivation, etc.?
To begin, I started a DTube account after
YouTube decided to remove those it deemed to be under performing. I was part of that cull.
I promptedly forgot my Steem Keys and had to start another account.
Essentially, I wanted at least the potential to earn money from writing blogs and uploading videos.
But I found a community of people, many with different opinions about many topics but ultimately decent enough people that want to learn and listen to each other. I've made new friends here.
We have monthly meetings in Adelaide where those friendships have blossomed and gotten deeper.
I often feel like an outsider in most situations but there, everyone is an outsider with something new to offer.
My motivation wasn't fame or wealth, to answer a question by @bearone, but rather to make people smile and laugh (and hope that the fame and wealth come after that) and hopefully kill some personal demons along the way.
It's been just over a year on Steem and I can see myself being here for many years to come.
I tag @kawaiicrush, @mattclarke and @bearone. You don't need to use @partiko for this.

Yeah I need to do a lot more of that sort of thing on DTube when I get the chance.

I think if you dig deep enough, you'll find your "Why?". When the price of Steem is low, it's good to remind ourselves of it.
I need to do more funny videos more often while the numbers are still down, build an audience and go from there.

Are you asking me while I am on Steem Shaidon? Not sure if you just called on a friend :) or were asking me too? hehe

I called on a friend, yes.
I think the question can be a rather deep one, if we go beyond the obvious desire to get paid for what we produce.
For me, it's trying to make awesome people like you laugh and smile and if that backfires, I feel terrible.
This was just a bit of non obligational fun, but I also think it's worth considering when, at times like these when the price of Steem is so low, that there are reasons not to quit doing what we want here.
Like Ava says "If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong!".
And I need to bring more fun, laughter and joy on here like you do.

Sure of course! Happiness is infectious! It restores health! Gives a long life & more! For me even if Steem was worth only .01 I would still be here sharing my little family and our silly adventures. I really love my family. I love to have fun adventures with them. And to be honest this is exactly what I was up to before joining. I just was not sharing the fun with anyone but ourselves. To me Steemit is like a scrapbook of my life, or maybe even a diary.. but so much more than that.. because through Steemit I am virtually connected to others sharing their unique life experiences and I feel lucky to be able to share with them. Also think of Instragram, Twitter, Snapchat, and the many other social medias that people consume 24/7 and never get one cent for it. For me this is about the experience. And if I can ever go full time and share even more fun and cover my expenses while I do that! Well then even better! But I won't be holding my breath! hehe.. I guess I think of myself as one of those busker musicians with no hope of any fortune.. only singing because it is what I love to do. But in this case I do not sing, but instead I entertain :D And should anyone find value in it than I will consider myself quite flattered and very humbled as I had never expected anything of it. Talk soon Shaidon! Nice to hear from ya :D
