Steem Is A Love/Hate Thing:

in steem •  6 years ago 

Steem brings out strong emotions in people. It's a love/hate thing.

Some people love Steem so much I read their views on Steem and wonder where can I get some of that? I also like Steem a lot, but I can't envision us competing with Facebook or being worth $100s. I would love to be wrong about this!

Others, and this is the group I find weird... They hate Steem so much they come back nearly every day to express how much they don't want to have anything to do with Steem. The create bots to spam it, they yell at their most hated actors. They rage quit weekly or sometimes daily.

Some of these people dislike us so much, they have to log in each day to tell us they don't like it here and aren't going to come here anymore...

Just in case we forget, they stop by to remind us..

Why is that?

I would love to say I've never felt emotional over Steem, but that would be a lie.

I just don't get that emotional all the days!

@whatsup,
I do believe in STEEM Moon Time and yeah this might compete against FB sooner or later! And I can't stop thinking about this, coz I smell this is the future of social medias and SMT platforms!

Cheers~

Steem is by no means perfect and we should talk about the faults, but it still has massive potential and I am sticking with it. I know the ads are controversial, but I hope Steemit will listen to feedback and do what they can to make the experience better.

I've never really looked at Steemit as anything more or anything less than a decent blogging platform. I really don't get what's to hate... There are no other social media companies or blogging platforms giving people money! With the exception of having to learn a little about cryptocurrency, I don't understand why every blogger isn't here earning STEEM for their work. Seem's like a no brainer to me. Blog, post decent content, earn a little crypto! What's to hate? and yes I get it.... Some people earn more than you, and the voting bots, and lifes not always fair. (Last sentence not directed at anyone in particular, just what I hear often) Again, Facebook and blogger never gave me 1 cent, let alone the opportunity that STEEM affords some people. Don't hate, participate :)

Perhaps its not the Steem that creates the extreme emotion. Its the money. Steem is simply the catalyst!
The rages are simply often jealousy induced!

It’s crypto, no emotions zone 🤣

don't you just love the serial rage quitters?

You are right, many people feel that way. Love and hate, if we talk about my emotion let's go first to the hate. Why do I hate this steem before or steemit? The main reason of that hate is jealousy. I waa jealous before because I didn't understand how the process here. Especially when I read someone's post that was so nonsense but in the end, he eraned more. Do I need to mention it?hahaha kidding.

But now that I understand what's the process steem, I love steem. I can reach many people from different countries. I can open up my emotions and many people comforted me. One other that I love steem more when start joining a lot of games without having an investment. haha

So for me those people who hate steem are those people who felt jealous. Steemit is fun and if they don't find the fun here, then they're jealous because they can't understand, why?

That is why emotions are tough to control as they drive overreaction often. Seeing plenty talking about getting into trading as if it was easy; they truly have no idea!

I see steem as a gaming/activity ledger.

And it has it's staying power for me that way.

LOL that brown bear gets me every time. Someone always used to send it to me!

Well that enthuasism is great to think we could reach those heights, we can all have dreams right? Aim for the stars but shoot for the moon kinda thing! I like steem but I'm not banking on it for anything this is just something I do because I enjoy it

Shouldn't think about profiting from STEEM like in other social medias or websites, just enjoy creating something without getting flagged or downvoted. In other sites would be banned and worse you'll get silenced. The market will rise and fall and rise again, just got to learn to surf it well.

Which other sites let you profit like here, lost me on that..

Posted using Partiko Android

None, all of it was a waste of time. I just don't want to stress myself thinking about 💰. Out of sight, out of mind.

Indeed, I remember there was a stylish/userstyle css by @tarazkp that hid the dollar value.

yeah and I think he needs some drama for this. haha

I'm getting the same vibes. These targeted ads bring me down.....

So do you love it or hate it??? Don't tell us you're one of those boring non-polarizing people!!

🤣 Yes it is

people that hate it and are still here i don't understand.
i can't say that i hated steem, i was just a bit depressed from time to time.
and i am happy to read that full optimistic people, that are 100% sure that steem will be 100$ soon, and all that, but then it does sounds like utopia.

I think Steem is really an awesome blogging platform where you can easily identify between serious and unserious persons and i really enjoy steeming more than any other social network

I guess I'm one of those fanboys that can see Steem being worth over $100, but the thing that makes me that bullish is not anything that's here now, it's the fact that anyone can come along and build something amazing and I feel like it's only a matter of time before someone does.

Right now everything is being made on a shoestring budget, but it's all up for grabs to anyone with the skills/money/support.
