Thank you for the beautiful work you are doing. You write out my thoughts.... Smile
Their are many factors responsible for everything people are doing on this platform like you rightly said.
People don't read the content again, what they are after is the reward, some people only upvote post without reading the contents whether it worth the upvote or not just to get the curation reward which is not encouraging enough, the quality posts are unnoticed and unrewarded because they don't belong to their grounp. This is dangerous for the future of steemit as new users are finding it so difficult to break into the cycle and are living the community as a result
Life is not too comfortable for the new users, somebody like me has to use the bot once in a while to ensure the hours I spent on writing posts does not go in vain. It is tiring to see those efforts go unrewarded. I try as much as I can to put in my very best in writing quality posts, but it seems everything on steemit is about who know who? Smile
Though, this has not stopped me from trying to build relationships as well. I read as many as possible articles per day, the number of comments I make per day is a testament to that. I leave quality comments to show that I read the posts line by line, but it has not been yielding results, but I'm sure it will one of this days.
I'm sure, this is one of the reasons many people turn to bot too, though their are some others as well that turn to bot just to keep appearing on the trending.
But, no matter the intention, we should all work towards the healthy community for that is where the future of steemit lies...
I believe in steemit
You have been here 2 months? there were ties before bots that was the norm and a big payout was in the single digits.
It is called a social media after all, people and relationships should be involved.
Sure?
Lol, I actually joined steemit since December 2017 with the account name @emmakwisequote, I lost password into that account as a result of my damaged phone in February 2018 before I reconnected in March 2018...
I'm 2 months old on the platform, yes.
I'm six months old on the platform is yes too.... Smile
That period remained my darkest time on steemit, I had to do extra to move at this pace...
Thanks for checking on my wall... Smile
the darkest time was likely january to april 2017 when steem was 6 -15 cents. It was the best tie to buy though.
That's is the general darkest time joined with my personal darkest making it to be raised to power 2 for me... Lol
The price sent many people packing, even those that are already making waves... But I have come to stay.
On investment, I'm working on that, though things has not been happening has planned, that's another reason why I turned to bot at time, I'm after the sp and not the money for now, if I grow power, money will come.... Smile
