My approach is that Steemit is a social platform with financial perks! It is mostly a hobby for me and to So far I have learned so much more than I have been able to contribute.
I am amazed, though, at those focused on the dollar value only. My intentions were not to be competitive but interactive.
I think I saw a statement from Steemit somewhere, that it‘s meant to be competitive. Okay I guess in some way it definetely is. But I am so annoyed from this „upvote for upvote“ stuff. Thanks for your reply! „Competitive vs. interactive“. Nails it.
