A BIT DEJECTED TOWARDS STEEMIT COMMUNITY

Hey there..

So i have been feeling a bit dejected towards steemit community for a while. I have got like 106 followers yet the amount of comments and upvotes on my post do not reflect the same..

I am not hungry for money (i have already got a healthy amount of it) or anything but the upvotes and comments actually determine how many people are interested to see my content. If you feel like i do not deserve 100% of your vote, you can reduce it to 0.5% so that i know at least someone appreciates my blog.

Even if you don't like my content, at least make a comment on how i can make it better..

My last post had like 55 views but 7 upvotes and 3/4 comments only. I know that nsfw community is pretty much small here on steemit yet a little appreciation wouldn't hurt anyone.

Rest assured i do plan to grow here on steemit and ultimately will give back to steemit community..

Best regards
Talia

UPDATE : i really wanna thank @iliasdiamantis who always appreciates my content.. i wanted to write about him in my post but somehow forgot amidst all the dejection and disappointment.. thank you sir..

Hi Talia,
You can try steemit.chat It more direct! Or discord! :)

Ooh and if you think with more followers it gets better, don't. People are afraid upvoting and commenting on nsfw posts. Soon some people might create 2 accounts to be anonymous and stay voting us that way. Or maybe Steem will implement private voting/commenting feature?

Yeah. Why is that? Why people are afraid upvoting and commenting on nsfw posts? If it was such a shame to do so then i guess steemit would never have included nsfw tag in the first place..

And tomorrow if people like you and me start using boosters then other steemians will also look down upon us like we are some kind of criminals..

This kind of behaviour makes me want to sell my house and buy 500000 SP to become the whale and help out the nsfw community..

I wanna be a horny whale too! Lol

I just fell off my chair laughing. :)

Fear is for the weak. have an upvote and an comment. :D

This is not a nsfw friendly community as may have realized.
I think that most people here look down on this type of content more than anything else.
So you have an uphill battle.
My suggestion is to be patient for starters.
Then you should go out there and interact with the community. Don't just wait for people to comment on your posts. Comment on others people's posts first, make relationships and after a while you will find more people coming your way.
And be patient...
Thanks for the shout out and thank you for putting some hottness in this rather dull corner of the webs . :)

You are very much right.. and you jotted it all down beautifully. I guess i need to be more patient and interact with others on steemit..

May be i will grow on them..

you will be great :)

It's a hard slog, and the NSFW crowd is hard to play to. A lot of eyes that are afraid to speak up and admit they enjoy the female form. The only way to really enjoy steem is to do it for yourself, and ignore the numbers. I find the hardest part is trying to keep up to everybody, I don't use bots to vote and try my best to keep up with the people I find fascinating. Chin up.

I am afraid you are right. And couldn't have put it more beautifully than you already have.. guess i just have to keep posting here..

Do what makes you happy and share the results if you wish.

Talia, I think most endeavors in life are that way. Often one works or trys really hard at something and we are disappointed in the results. And then we see some idiot farting at a candle and he has like 1 million views on Utube. Seneca got it right 2000 years ago when he said; "hu,man affairs are not so happily arranged, that the best things please the most men. It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob"

Well you are very much right..

Go girlll :)

Yeah the nsfw tag - no profit in it really. If I were you I'd just take "risky" shots like vermillionfox or artedellavita. Just verging on the nsfw tag but not quite there yet, ya know? Start taking photosets instead of one or two shots in the posts. Let people get to know you and your thoughts more. Maybe do a contest or two to gain viewership. Get creative until something takes off. I know thaiprincess wasn't doing so hot at one point but now she is seeing steady dough flow with a variety of nsfw and life blog type posts.

Hi,

Hang in there it's a long road to popular town....

Steemit is dying. It's just full of third worlders that copy MSM articles. Some even attribute the content to the original author, but it doesn't excuse the fact that the lazy bastards are copying and pasting somebody else's work in the hope of receiving a few pennies.

It always gets better. As you continue to interact with people, soon they begin to see you as a friend, as a person and not a personality. Then they will begin to look beyond the tag. That's when magic happens. Stay with it. Thanks for being so open about your feelings.

You looks awesome !
