Steemit: We are in a temporary situation (+Patience)

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Hello friends of steemit, I have seen in recent days, since it was implemented the hardfork 18, a certain amount of concern in many users, due to payments at this time are very low. It is true that such a situation is quite uncomfortable, because we see that our works are little valued, and think, if it is worth the effort to continue producing content in this current situation.

To my way of thinking, there are some users who do not understand that this is a long-term project, and where you are correcting continuously to the platform to operate in the best way, so I ask for a little patience, to many new users, and especially to the users who already have enough time in the platform, we must understand that this is a temporary situation and that, in less than 1 month, will return to normal. For my part I will continue producing content, and building community, I do not surrender so easily, and much less on a page that has made fulfill my dream of being a writer, I have a lot to thank Steemit and @ned, for their great effort, to offer us something different to the social networks traditional.  

This temporary situation that we now live, makes me somehow remember when I started in the platform and did not earn almost nothing on my articles, at that time, I was about to give up, but less evil that I did not do it because I noticed that my effort had reward after a time, and I am saying this precisely for people who are new or have little time in Steemit, and understand that this is a continuous learning, to the point of raising the quality of your articles and that consequently receive the reward. 

Very soon, we will be back to normal, let us please the insult, and let us be grateful, let criticism constructive, that allow us to continue growing continuously as community in the insults we will not find anything. I support this project, and I want to continue growing with the passage of time...

Agreed! I was remarking on another post how Steemit did not make any of us "employees" and nowhere were we promised "a paycheck." This is just an opportunity, which may or may not give something... there were no promises here.

There is a slight problem there, many people have been recruited on the assumption that they will be paid for their work, so many people can rightfully say they were lied to, because at the moment they are getting no money for their efforts. Now I do hope things will get back to normal soon and payouts will return to the levels they were at before the hard fork, I personally have never had that many upvotes or upvoted by a whale so my posts hardly ever make a dollar so this doesn't really hurt me, getting 0 cents for a post has not been uncommon, I am mostly here because I usually comment on posts and become involved in some lively discussions, so I like Steemit for that not for the money, I've been here since August and I don't even have 500 SP and I've never powered down. But you are wrong saying there were no promises, by saying something like - now you can actually make money on a social media unlike Reddit were you post and get nothing, you are actually telling people they will get paid, and these kind of tweets, social media posts etc have been made, this is from the whitepaper:
"Steem is a blockchain database that supports community building and social interaction with cryptocurrency rewards".
"There are some key principles that have been used to guide the design of Steem. Themost important principle is that everyone who contributes to a venture should receive pro-rata ownership, payment or debt from the venture."

I would like to know if there wasn't a way to avoid this? Unfortunately I don't know enough about it, but it would seem that it would be worth trying to it now instead of waiting for it to sort itself out later. I'm not thinking of myself as much as the brand new accounts. How long are they going to wait?

Well we are out of the loop so we don't know what will happen, so we just have to stick it out and see what the result is, and since no one is making any money many of the new guys will just leave, so we might lose some talent before they even started which is sad.

I agree in part with you, I have also been critical of steemit, and I recognize that one of their major problems is the lack of communication, but at the same time, I think that this type of situations you can learn much, thank you for giving your opinion.

Exactly, it is necessary to understand that.

Thanks

I understand that and agree, yet for the betterment of Steemit, isn't there some way to fix this instead of just sitting back. How many brand new accounts will be opened and the people get a bad impression and abandon it? I have gotten 2 people sign up in the last 2 days and am trying to pre-warn them about the current situation.

thats fine and dandy but when is it coming back

Payouts are slowly increasing as was stated in some posts earlier, but its true many a new user will not understand they why and likely to stop posting and interacting.

You re right...I told the same for my steemit community around me too..due to HF18, they feel dissappointed and lost hope to this platform..but I told them it is temporary glitch..so we need to be patient of this situation..keep up for a good work and keep your spirit..Now they understood to this effect..you post good thing..

Thank you for your comment, we must be consistent with our work, and understand that we have much more to gain than to lose, greetings.

Unless you are loosing money doing something, it is rarely a good idea to abandon something you invested a lot of effort into. And even then it might be good to stick around.

Exactly, in my personal case, I have not invested in the platform, but if you try to produce content constantly.

Excellent post dear friend @ luisucv34, you do very well in conveying tranquility, I have been working on the web for two years and I have not found anything like it, very important to support the platform at the moment.
