The deadpost initiative is a winner, so it's my wish & opinion that you stick with it through thick & thin. You will have happier weeks!! I don't tend to get upset by what the whales & dolphins do because I don't comment & upvote their posts anyway. Maybe that's why I haven't had a single piece of interaction from one of them yet. I have my own little clique that I'm trying to grow & maybe you should do the same.
I have looked at some of their posts but I know that tit for tat voting doesn't work anyway so I don't vote or comment unless the post is on my wavelength. so far with whales that's been precisely nil.
As I grow & the people in my clique grow by writing some approximating post's so will our popularity & we will overtake these shitposts on merit in time. Time being the stressful catalyst in the equation, I have to confess I would of liked quicker growth than Iv'e had but can be grateful for having met the likes of you & some of my friends that have already shown their support on this very post.
You see we have our own little clique growing ourselves right here & give it a year or two & imagine how hard it will be for the newbies then & what they will be saying about kings & queens like us.
I have no doubt that we will be more successful than the whales of today, I mean just look at our posts, even our comments are better than that post that got you rattled from what's his name.
You are positively inspirational compared to that douche, You are just lacking a little inspiration at the moment is all. Let me help...
The cream shall always settle at the top & we are the cream ~ Mark Twain.
The best thing about motivational quotes on social media is that when you get bored you can fabricate both the quote & source ~ Genghis Khan
Chin up old chap.
Hahaha I love that ghengis khan quote! You are great at cheering people up. I’m fine, really, I just like to do what my parents used to call “globalizing”. I call it “motivating myself to make things better”. The way to make things better is precisely as you say. We need to keep supporting each other and growing this community within the larger community on Steemit.
I’m not so sure we will rise to the top on merit alone, I suspect we will need to covert some of the douches, but that’s something we can only do by “being the change”, preaching at them too much will only make them defensive. Some of the worst offenders will eventually see the prospect of this whole place falling down around them and realize that they could have done better and they’ll get their act together. Some won’t, but those who do will certainly be on our side.
We will rise to the top because we are the best, we have no competitors, Nothing can stand in our way. it will take time & effort is all & we all have a bit of that to give. The douches don't have our panache to make it in the long run. All they have at the moment is the power & it doesn't look to me like many folk are best pleased with the current distribution or system of things.
So long as we make it there on merit it won't be begrudged like it is for the current crop.
We are writing the history for the future here, Think about that for a minute our great great grandchildren bragging in the playground about how they are related to the early literary legends of 21st century Steemit. :)
