Nothing we haven't heard about before but lately, with the low prices in STEEM, more users have been bitching about being uderappreciated for their work on here. Feeling of entitledness amongst some, is corrupting the minds of others.
Where does this end?
In bitterness towards others when their ridicilous expectetions aren't met.
While being in this negative state of mind these users can't see through their mistakes to realize that the only thing they are doing wrong is that they aren't commited enough.
THEY AREN'T PUTTING IN THE WORK!
Those who are, especially the ones who stay through the "tough times" will, if persistent enough surely be rewarded for their efforts.
The ones complaining while offering no value and putting in no WORK into their content will get eaten by the SKARKS, The Hustlers and the DOers.
Anyway, these are just my thoughts but I would like to hear what you think
I highly value your opinions and would like to discuss about this with you in the comments, so be sure to share your thoughts on this down there.
As always, one user who brings most value to the discussion will get my full upvote.
Finally, with that off my chest and on the blockchain, I can get some much needed SLEEP
Cya tomorrow!
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
When I first came to Steemit and dtube my initial reason was to find work opportunities on the internet, a kind of side income. Then, as I learnt more about the platform, I realize that it is not an easy place to make money. But it doesn't matter to me because I enjoy writing, taking photos and making videos. Since I started about a year ago, I have never got any substantial earning for months. But I am doing what I like and even cured my addiction to Facebook haha because now I spent my time mostly on Steemit.
I don't mind to work, work, work, because I enjoy it. And vlogging is a challenge for me because I am quite uneasy talking in public. I really want to overcome this challenge, because when I can do it, I'll become a new person. A person that I can be proud of. :-)

Thank you for having the right mentality towards your activities on here. You are destined to succeed if you continue posting and never get demotivated by "low payouts" the 5 Steem/week or whatever you are earnign now will soon be worth much more than 4$ :D
I look at 1 Steem at the price of 100$
Helps a lot when thinking about how much you are earning :D
Anywayy, did you send me that picture/title for the thumbnail. Didn't see you reply but might have missed it if you did.

There are two kinds of mentalities that people have whenever they join a new platform one is that they wanna WiN, win some respect, win some reputation, win some fame. They wanna prove themselves who they are and what they have and what they are capable of; while on the other hand, a mentality is just of EARNING from the platform.
BUT BELEIVE ME
THE PEOPLE WHO JUST HAVE THE MENTALITY OF
EARNING
CAN'T
WIN
I completely agree with you @runicar that you must WORK and keep WORkiN before expecting anything in return.
Thanks For This Video, this can be eye opener to many.

Good meaningful content takes time to make. It takes effort and creativity. We all want upvotes and sometime you will get a random high upvote but for the msot part you have to build your reputation and put in the time and effort to build the following and the trust with your fans.
I think if people arent getting upvotes instead of whining and complaining the first thing they should do is take a look at their content and ask whats the message and value and how can I make it better than it is now.

I try to give my opinion sir @runicar. If I am wrong, I hope you dont mind.
I am part of the steem user and until now I am still trying to work hard (giving positive content in wrting and photography, no plagiarsm) to the blockchain system. My reason is, First, until now, The Steem Blockchain is a the one media that keeps giving rewards for steemians. It doesn't matter big and small but always. Second, this world is world of tastes, is it true who work then complain? No. Why not we change the question, Is our content in accordance with your followers' tastes or qurator taste ? I am sure we can presented properly, a reward will surely comes. Third, rewards arise from whale and Redfish. There are still many reward objects that can we take a chance. don't just look up to whales. Last, if they complain when steem low, where they are when steem need help in netcoin contest ? Over one million steemian, but the participant lower then quantity of steemian. they dont take a part there. Even I am only redfish, I still support steem in 7 days. Thanks sir and God bless you for this spirit.

@khaimi you can't be wrong with sharing your opinion. There is no right and wrong here. I'm glad that you said what's on your mind.
There is only one point I would like to correct your thinking on.
A lot of people have bots, fake accounts, multiple accounts, project accounts, etc. The actual number of unique users is much smaller.
Daily active users is even less.
But we will build a strong community over time. The downtrends in thecrypto space are kicking users away from blockchain technology, STEEM especially. Now when they earn 5x less than a couple of months before, they don't want to invest their "precious time" here.
What a shame.....

Agreed man, the only thing that you need to do here is to put some fucking work and i don't know why do people become demotivated when they didn't even try to do something better. I guess we should all just embrace it as a dayle job instead of just bitching around and begging for fucking upvotes. Keep it up, waiting for your next merge :D

For those just starting out, I would look at it as the more affordable prices in STEEM.
Imagine it's spring 2016 and you're one of the early pioneers "staking your claim to the blockchain" as I mention in my profile.
These people had no certainty that Steemit would succeed, yet joined, invested - believing in the platform - and began creating content.
They deserve every bit of their success for laying the foundation we all enjoy today.
So let's put on our "startup hats" and help build this thing. The Steemit veterans had the foresight to look ahead and Invision the possible. We need to see the same bright future with our own eyes as well...

Work hard play hard @runicar well said most of what I have seen dtube upvotes higher % based on quality and effort of a video. It doesn't have to be related to steemit or talking about cryptos or anything my cooking videos don't mention those things but they do take a lot of work to get done so that's the way I do things.

Yep Dtube is doing all the right things supporting worthy content creators. I'm glad to see they aren't basing their upvotes on mostly crypto content like dapps like dmania had. That just ruins the experience for other people who might be stopping by from elsewhere. The ones that aren't interested in crypto , which is like 90% of the rest of the world, won't ahve anything interesting to look at if we all base our content on crypto.
That's why I love seeing diversity of content on Dtube and always support users who are doing something unique, creative and are filling in that gap.

Great advice and motivation for those struggling to be consistent in their journey here!

Building something as revolutionary as STEEM is, will have a lot of challenges. SOme of which we are alredy facing with all of the abusers, circle jerks, spammers and scammers. But I think that these kind of users will filter out over time and be replaced by other, more positive influencers.

If you don't have fan, followers and friends who have high SP and upvoting your posts on regular basis, your hard work won't be appreciated at all. Or you have to do the shortcut way; lease(or buy from pocket) SP and exchange upvotes on posts and comments or self upvote in all of your comments. By this way we can earn something.

I admit I joined Steemit due to unemployment. I do like posting my art and my photos. It's discouraging when my hard work gets ignored. Nothing I do gets people to pay attention. If you're a performer, do you want 2 people seeing it or 20?
Yeah it hard to make money on Steemit, don't make the mistake I did and power down your SP. Your SP alone can help you earn more. I should have waited until I reached the thousands before powering down. I let it get to where my upvotes are worthless and missed out on earning since Steemit stopped paying users on posts lower than 2 cents.
