I failed on Steemit
My aims here did not work out - but I like to post Music - I like to DJ - I like to create a carpet of sound! I do not care about your circle jerk - I enjoy my time - and I leave this platform when I feel it only.
I already delegated my BeachWednesday and SunThursday - My DanceWekend is not working as we can not mix realtime here and my music taste is not everybody's style. My Tag charityweekly is not picking up too - so you can truly say considering I am a sales guy I absolutely failed and fucked up my mission. I also am none of these community members that are needed - let us be honest. A true failure in its 100% sense. How could that happen :-)? Steem On People - The Community needs great people, new awesome creative folks. The masses will come soon for sure.
really ? what ... I can't quite believe I'm reading this ?? your feed is doing great, you have a fat wallet and loads of followers. I mean look at me, I've been posting some of my best blog posts ever and barely reach above $1 but I still believe there's a future and I know what you mean about the circle jerk thing but if the little fish round up each other they give each other the voting power and the share of the rewards. In time, it will / can / might change !
if you leave now, you will de-motivate loads of poor minnows who strive hard but have got nowhere near...
I ask you to hold fire for one week and then reconsider.
come on.. even if you only post 1 or 2 items a week. .. don't give up !
100% upvoted and ASKING YOU TO STAY

wow, that is such a nice comment given we do not know each others, appreciated. The platform will have a good chance if all are like you. It is not just what you describe above, new life circumstance I just heard less than 2 hours ago in addition to other things happened recently. Not saying the platform is bad, tons of awesome Steemians here, met friends i would not have discovered otherwise. Keep it going with your posts, i had the same in the beginning but seems you have the right skills to kill it here.

That is really sad to hear! I dont think you failed at all! The dynamics on Steemit changed quite a bit since last month or two. It is very difficult to get some organic readers here. It is extremely difficult to built something, like a sub-community. However persistence is the key. To be honest, also I was playing with the idea to stop (temporary) Steemit, it cost a lot of time for me, while it seems only a few people actually read my posts. But, I still believe for the (near) future, Steemit can be an interesting platform. Your charity project is a great one; Like you danceweekend; Like your weekday themes. I can only say, take a little rest from Steemit, and then come back with renewed energy. I'm still trying to figure out the best ways to continue, to get some relevant sub-community going. I know it is all about liking each other and that requires a lot of time and building. What I noticed, this networking shall not be on Steemit only, but also through other channels. So, please tell me you leaving Steemit will just be a kinda Steemit sabbatical. Enjoy your break! (still pushing to get you back) :)

Bingo - the community aspect is spot on @edje - thanks for the lovely feedback. Agree on persistency is key for success in theory - not 100% sure if that is the case for all currently. Especially the lack of people really viewing and reading your stuff is encouraging bad content or decline of quality content. That is the case for many people, me included. It should not become a mixture of all the other platforms out there but stay unique.
Networking and liking each other is another good point, what is written in comments is not always what people think, reality and politics are happening in chats and other exchanges - that is human.

Quality of content is degrading indeed. That is not good at all. I actually think we need the community feature with the moderation features to create clean and good quality content for specific topics. For some reason STINC is not seeing this, is not delivering on their plans. Ok, I think the plan was Q3 anyway, and we still have a couple of weeks to go. When these features are there, consider to come back and we shall try 1 or 2 projects with moderated channels.

lieber Uwe, mit einem upvote dieses posts würde ich wohl meine zustimmung ausdrücken oder nicht? ;-) nee, das möchte ich nicht sagen. du bist für meine verhältnisse schon sehr lange hier und hast viel für die deutsche community getan. ich kann mich noch erinnern, als mich das erste mal dein trail besucht hat und über 130 stimmen hinterließ. glücksgefühle. nun komme ich aber beruflich aus einem bereich, in dem man sich konstruktiv kritisiert, weil dass das einzige ist, was uns weiterbringt. es gehört wohl zum schicksal der betuchten, das sich viele an sie ranhängen, um am erfolg teilzuhaben. du hast viel power und einen trail und beides ist begehrenswert. ich habe keine ahnung, was ursprünglich deine intentionen hier waren, nehme aber stark an, das gewinn die treibende kraft dahinter gewesen ist. ich schließe das aus meiner beobachtung, eben wegen der themen, die du behandelst und mit denen ich ganz offen gesagt, wirklich nur wenig anfangen kann. bier und party sind nichts auf dauer für mich. und dennoch bin ich immer offenen auges durch deine posts gegangen. nach der hf19 aber wurde ich das erste mal irgendwie skeptisch und ich hatte mich näher mit trails befasst. vor einem monat etwa habe ich dann auch untersucht, was diese trails tun und wer davon profitiert. und meine haltung kippte von zustimmung in ablehnung um. wie auch immer, du bist für mich eine respektable person - auch wenn sich unsere interessengebiete kaum überschneiden.
mit deiner großen anhängerschaft fühlte ich mich nie gefordert, dich kontinuierlich zu voten und zu fördern und aufgrund der tatsache, das du selbst sehr vielen leuten folgst, hatte ich immer den gedanken, es würde nichts bringen, dir zu folgen. denn du siehst meinen post wahrscheinlich sowieso nicht, in deinem feed wird er in der masse einfach untergehen. ich kann mir gut vorstellen, das es auch noch anderen ähnlich ging. als neuling hat man hier eine lange orientierungsphase und schaut sich um, auf der suche nach anderen, die hier schon länger tätig sind, die erfahrungen haben, und natürlich offen für mich - den neuen.
was ich beschreibe, trifft nicht ganz auf dich zu, aber ein bisschen betrifft es dich auch und zwar, das ihr alten hasen unter euch seid und es bockschwer ist, in euren kreis mit aufgenommen zu werden. und einige von euch alten hasen sind echte schwergewichte und es wäre wirklich eine herzliche und motivierende geste von euch gewesen, neue accounts mitaufzubauen, anstatt en gros nur unter eures gleichen zu bleiben. ich nenne hier ganz bewusst keine namen, aber ein absolutes positivbeispiel kann und darf ich an dieser stelle nicht auslassen: @twinner! auch weil er eine korrektive dargestellt hat und auf gewisse weise immer noch ist. sonst hätten einige von euch dieses system ausschließlich zu euren gunsten bedient. und ich sage nicht mißbraucht. denn das möchte ich hier niemandem unterstellen, auch dir nicht!
deine ankündigung stimmt mich nachdenklich. von trauer kann ich nicht reden, wir kennen uns nicht. wie so vieles hier wäre auch das nur virtuell und somit fragwürdig unglaubwürdig. aber es wird wirkliche freunde von dir geben, die das sehr bedauern. wie ich in anderen kommentaren lese, geht es bei dir auch um eine konstante, die man vermissen wird, einfach weil sie eine ist, weil sie stark ist, ausdauernd und kontinuierlich vertreten. solche menschen wie du sind wichtig für jede community! du trittst nicht theatral mit deinem abgang auf, zum glück - aber ich sehe keinen wirklichen grund für deinen post, neben der tatsache, das du menschlich bist. also eine einsicht formulierst, auf diesem wege wohl nicht erfolgreich zu sein, vielleicht enttäuscht oder bar der anerkennung, die du dir erhofft hast. und das ist eigentlich irre, denn du hast ja enorme anerkennung, nicht nur in form von reputation.
letzten endes, durch den nebel von kritik, wenn man sie denn überhaupt so nennen kann, bitte auch ich dich, nicht rigoros zu sein. tu noch etwas passives, wenn du mit deiner aktivität oder dem anklang darauf nicht zufrieden bist. arbeite passiv. kein mensch erwartet permanente anwesenheit hier. mach halt eine pause, verleihe deine power an welche, die gerade aktiv sind und sich darüber freuen, direkt oder über @minnowbooster und @boomerang. man kann sich selbstverständlich auch mal hier zurückziehen. ich würde mich aber freuen, wenn du nicht ganz gehst und spuren hinterlässt. @uwelang wird so sicher nicht so schnell vergessen. lg

Uwe, I can't believe that you're really meaning it....? We've all gone through some tough times here, but hey - that happens in every business 😉 It was so nice to meet you in person this week and to chat about steemit. I really can't imagine this place without you!!! Why don't you just go ahead with your stuff and don't care too much about others...? Please reconsider your decision!!! Take a timeout, reload batteries and then come back 😘 Okay?

I don't think you have failed at all. Steemit is still small and hasn't reached the critical mass you need for such projects to take off. Tsu had reached a few million by this point and was a different game, but also had its own issues. I think this is a good time to be establishing some cool projects that can grow with the service. When the millions come you will be ready.
I hope you at least check in to see how it's going.

If all the big people like you leave then Steem really will fail.

I guess I'll never really get to know you but good luck in your future endeavors.

Just because whales haven't supported upper charity weekly tag doesn't mean it's a failure. I know @rhondak was very grateful for your post on her. I write stories pledged to her and they don't bring in huge amounts but even little bits help.

Well this was a surprise. Coming from someone who's doing exponentially better than me, I certainly didn't expect this. I do understand where you're coming from though, and this is certainly the case of expectations not being met. However, I implore you to take a step back and think about everything.
You are earning an average that I could only dream of, and you have STEEM Power that's more than 6x bigger than mine. If anything, you're one of the more accomplished dolphins out there. Personally, if I have your kind of SP and am earning the way you do, I would be contented. But, that's just me.
After you take some time and you feel like the time you spend here is not worth your effort, then I wish you the best of luck, my friend!

Yeah, no, I didn't just mean the earning aspect. It's a good thing to have for sure, but yeah I totally get what you mean. I work hard trying to produce great content, and I see a lot of trash posts who earn way more and have more interaction. Personally, I've been teetering on the edge of quitting for a long time now, I'm just really optimistic that I could turn things around. I'll give it some more time before I run out of gas.
