My Random Thoughts While Reading This Essay
- This is too fucking long.
- If you want to help people, help people. Why announce that you're planning on helping people. Just fucking do it.
- If you had a clone, you'd probably want to fuck yourself.
- You damn right sifting through the trash is a waste of time. Now it's even harder because we can't even trust the value beside the post.
- "No incentive to improve." This guy's posts all look the same.
- I'm getting bored of scrolling up and down to write my thoughts out.
- "Wow man great post! That was so inspiring! I hope to see more of this in the future!" Everyone hates those comments. Who believes that shit? Nobody. This guy is just stating the obvious. Is he so cut off from reality that he truly thinks people enjoy this shit? Who does this guy talk to? The people who leave those comments?
- "There is no actual discussion taking place" ...this dude must only browse the trending page. No wonder he wants to be here so bad. It's his home.
- "Everyone wants to get rich with as little work as possible." At least look at my goddamn blog before saying shit like that. "Everyone."
- "everyone is already trying to "game the system." ...fuck sakes
- I can't even read this shit anymore
- I wonder what's on tv...
- Why do I only have $20 per post? That's still more profit than most people who bought $50 to put beside their post.
- This asshole is in no position to give me advice. I worked nearly everyday, earned everything in my wallet, half the shit he's saying I already know won't work. At least he knows I'm good at what I do. Is he just kissing my ass though? Hmmm
- Why did he have to write such a long response...
- You can't really teach people to be entertaining. I've been saying for months, "People do not want to follow a tree. Don't write about trees and only trees. The moment you add your personality into the post about trees, it becomes interesting, because it's now about YOU and the trees." Some people get it and I've seen them improve. Others don't. I was once called a bully for telling someone to use the funny tag because I thought their post was humorous. It turns out it wasn't self-deprecation humor. Oops.
- "Honestly though I just don't feel like doing that. Despite what you or anyone else thinks about me from my previous posts, I actually believe that I can take this platform mainstream. And I believe the key to doing that is NOT by eliminating the free market system that is the inspiration of all blockchain platforms, but by teaching people how to create entertaining content and encouraging them to do it. Not because of money, but because of their pride in creating something that will literally be saved forever." Finally! I made it to the end!
- Now I should read what I wrote just to see how much of a dickhead I've been.
- I guess that wasn't too bad.
- I feel like I just read one of those self help guru advertisements. I almost bought the book! So close!
- Lead by example. If you think my posts are good, and they should be on trending, and you believe in buying votes, then go ahead and purchase those votes for me.
- I write humor and produce art, for the most part. I don't know, in advance, which jokes are funny and which art is good. I've bombed jokes and made pieces of shit, literally, shit. Massive images of shit. Let's look back at my long history. Which one of those posts should I have promoted and how the fuck should I have known that in the first place? That's up to the people. Also, there are plenty of other artists here. I don't want to be the asshole who buys a vote and pushes their work down. As much as you think community is a waste of time here, I don't want to be the guy hogging the spotlight with 20000 SP in my account while I push everyone aside to get more. I didn't kiss any ass for this, I'm not guaranteed a payday. I watch my payouts go from $100 down to $10, maybe I'll hit a $40, whatever. I already know the people who haven't voted for my work in the past won't start voting for it just because I add money beside my post. That's not what makes a post good. Also, many of us will not vote for a post with paid votes because that tells us the member who paid for votes had it covered and didn't need our help. I'd prefer to give my votes to people who I've always enjoyed and help support as many new people who come my way as I can. I'm only one guy, I can only do so much. I don't mind voting for simple content, I don't mind voting for well written posts complete with fresh art like mine. I like what I like and I think many other people are the same.
- Whatever man. No hard feelings. I think you're full of shit. So what. You're probably a nice guy. I can see you mean well. Good luck. I won't bother you. I hope you realize most of what I wrote here was humor. I get bored. That's what happens.
- Next time, write less, say more. These essays are impossible to respond to and that's why I'm just messing around.
- I do appreciate your sense of humor.
Update:
This is why I think you're drunk:
I can teach people how to win. People look at me and they're like, "Who the fuck is this guy? He's been here a week and already thinks he's hot shit?" I know that. Would be lying if I didn't say it's kind of what I'm going for. Would also be lying if I said that it hadn't gotten me fired from many jobs in the past.
You sound like a loser when you say, "I can teach people how to win." You're just feeding everyone a line of bullshit. Like I said in another post of yours. You're both the best and worst bullshit artist I've ever come across.
Why aren't people lining up to get your so called help? I just did a post the other day mocking what you're about to attempt with this:
How to find your voice as a writer
How to keep the reader entertained
How to write long form articles even if you think you have nothing to say
How to completely eliminate writers block
How write a controversial post without alienating your readers
Books/programs that will improve your writing
How to format your posts so they "look pretty"
How to properly use upvote bots so you don't lose money
How to use resteem services to expose your post to everyone on Steemit
How to hit the Trending page with every single post
How to write something interesting even when you have nothing to talk about
How to promote your content on other websites
How to market yourself and build your brand
How to integrate multiple social platforms so they build on each other
How to improve your typing speed
It seems like you just want to flood this trending page with generic bullshit lazy writer articles that we can see anywhere else wedged in between celebrity gossip ads. That's what this looks like and you're acting like it's the next big thing like we were all born yesterday and haven't been on the internet before.
You can go on google now and search those things. You'll see hundreds of thousands of those articles. It's a waste of space and it doesn't help anyone. It's lazy writer bullshit. It's the garbage you can find thousands of times. The articles are five years old and they have 18 shares on facebook and that's it. It's junk and for some reason you're sitting here acting like you invented something amazing.
I'm sorry(no I'm not) but the more I look at this and study your style, the more I'm convinced you have no fucking clue what you're doing. You're just attempting to dupe people with nonsense and teach tricks that have already been taught thousands of times and haven't worked for anyone.
This is a sales pitch. This post is an advertisement. People aren't accustomed to seeing your writing style in ads(we don't have censors here) so you're using that to your advantage in the hopes of misleading people.
That's my conclusion. That's how I feel about this.
Also, this, to me, appears as if you slipped and revealed an ulterior motive:

Those who understand how this reward pool functions might see this as a bad thing.
Spoiler alert!
After all this hype, rambling and this guy acting like he was going to teach people something; the first lesson is a long-drawn-out life story. Then, you learn:
"So, how do you find your voice as a writer? I don't know, maybe just fucking write a lot or something."
But the real lesson learned is how you all got duped.
I'm done here.
Case closed.
I give up. You win. Gg

Good
Because this is a global platform that branches off into many other sites and apps now and into the future. That means, in order to be able to attract one billion or even two billion people to this blockchain; the playing field must at least be accessible to as many walks of life as possible. It'll never be fair and I can't stand participation awards but nearly everyone by now should know that pay to play and paywalls are a disaster. For this to be a disruptive technology we have to kick all of these old trashy methods of yours to the curb and try something new. You don't fucking lead by following.

That was moving for me.
I tried once to promote my posts to the trending page by using paid bots.
It worked a bit, but I knew that it would not work in the long run.
You will get there when you deserve otherwise the deserving people will eventually kick you out of there.
As you said nobody likes to watch advertisements on youtube, and it will be worse if their trending page is full of paid advertisements.
Thanks for sharing a thoughtful comment, it made some difference for me.

This writing long tactic as a response can be a tactic to try to overpower the conversation and not take into consideration a response. It's not very respectful.
That you can't succeed without being on trending page is so wrong. Hard work always pays off. I never seen someone that has truly worked hard not get rewarded for it.
Build real connections with other people and they will give you value. Since everyone loves a personal genuine response.
And yes you can't have discussions when people make 20 points in 1 comment it comes across as not having an understanding in how humans talk to eachother. It's a way of using power games. If we take some more time to try to understand eachother then we see that we all mostly have similar views in life.
This tactic of always having to be on trending page is too much leech it also dehumanise us that we only care about money in life and not just regular talk and connections. It's a bit needy. I enjoyed the first start of this blog post but then it was like too many words was used without any real care behind it.

I'm aware of these tricks. I sometimes take these long-drawn-out rambling responses as a sign of someone who isn't quite sure of themselves. That all depends on the situation though. I'll keep what I think about it to myself now.
I agree with all that. Teamwork, business partners; things like that exist in the real world. Good customer service as well. The basics. Buying the top slot only goes so far. People drive past billboards everyday. Most don't even go to those places being advertised and if they do, they expect a tight ship.

Thanks for your response(s). Your clarity and brevity are appreciated. Basically, if it wasn't for your reply, I would have (possibly) bought into this idea. Whether or not through his newsletter, I can't say. However, I definitely would have walked away from the post with a total misunderstanding of how to post on steemit and a total misunderstanding of how the community can work together on here. Just being honest, this shit is confusing to me. So thanks again and I encourage you to keep looking out for people, especially noobs like myself.

I know one loooooong post done right, took me around 4-6 hours to read through it, I read the comments I read it 3 times ... great day, excitement lasted for a week, it will never repeat or happen again :| I'm happy :)

No worries, that guy is new and hes a market shitbag, with the facebook spammers and scammers, it's a step up, we are getting more and more mainstream :D
plus he has a point :D yeah this is by no means a conversation, it's more like endless sewage, but there are great points:
it's not a distributed system, just the witness nodes are,
stake is highly centralised that skews the distribution,
it's a bit of a circle-jerk since the start of it,
arguments have been brought up and dismantled,
While we are going on like this I can list for another half an hour, but it's pointless, the facts are there are truths from both sides of the argument, I'm 80% with @nonameslefttouse but that doesn't disprove the other facts, not to mention the reality of the social medias, I think @yallapapi just hasn't seen the potential, or has seen a different potential than what others have, he "believes" this place needs to be like the others, I think I already left once because it was becoming like them. But he still raises great points and he's more honest in his response at least...
The fun part is we are all learning, changing and so on, I gotta say I agree with both, they just come from different perspectives.

You are my champion @nonameslefttouse. Thanks for saving me from this fellow! Almost fell in for his misdirection!
