Stop Making Steemit All About the Money, It Won't Work - And Other Ranting About What Sucks About Steemit

Hey Kay, do you write songs, too? Hardfork would be a good title.. ha ha. When will you upload a video? I believe there's some shit code for uploading videos here. Hmm...not sure.

lol. Put it on the ideas list! haha

I have a few up! Go take a look :). I just upload them to youtube and then copy the link here. That'll work for now at least! Xx, Kay

Would you believe I can't find them? I'm pissed. Please paste a link here for us Steemit-challenged folks. Thanks.

OH WOW!!! THANK YOU!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!! Girl, you've got the looks and the voice!! You're going places! I'll resteemit and post on my FB, etc. Just remember who followed you first when you're rich and famouse, though.. ;-)

Thank you so much for your support! I am sooooo grateful for my first followers here--really & truly! xx

😁 👍 👍

Look what I found! EMOJIS!!! https://steemit.com/emojis/@blueorgy/steemit-emojis-master-list

Lol! So awesome!

lol - just stumbled on this comment again and it made me smile BIG! Hope you're doing well here all these months down?!

lol! HF19 stands for "hard fork 19" which is basically Steemit geek lingo for "significant change in the way the website is run" which is done through witnesses voting and some developers making the changes happen. They do them periodically.. I'm not sure which one we are on? But 19 was the one where they shifted voting power a little bit so that minnows had a bit more influence (you'll notice that people with full wallets have a LOT of power in their votes--one "whale" could single-handedly keep you doing really well on the platform.

I tend to dislike a lot of artists, too! Especially poets.. ah.. In general, though, you'll find that Steemit's quality is waaaaaaay above what you see elsewhere. I was expecting the same thing, and of course you have to sift a little bit, but there is much more great quality than I expected.

..except for the poetry. Most of it is painfully sentimental dross with no poetic effort beyond predictable rhymes and teen-girl journal free verse.. harsh, I know. But a bit true. Talking about it here just made me grumpy so I don't look at it anymore or talk about it much. lol!

But most everything else has been a very pleasant surprise. Lots of disenfranchised but intelligent and talented artists have come here like moths to a flame. You'll enjoy it, I think!

I tend to dislike a lot of artists, too! Especially poets.. ah.. I'm extremely picky, although I also try to see potential in attempts as well, and not be too elitist about it either. In general, though, you'll find that Steemit's quality is waaaaaaay above what you see elsewhere. I was expecting the same thing as you, and of course you have to sift a little bit, but there is much more great quality than I expected. Not as much wincing as you'd think.

..except for the poetry. Most of it is painfully sentimental dross with no poetic effort beyond predictable rhymes and teen-girl journal free verse.. harsh, I know. But a bit true, and it doesn't bother me to say as they get a TON of upvotes, so whatever. Talking about it here just made me grumpy so I don't look at the tag anymore or talk about it much. haha
