RE: Why I Write Fiction and Why I Will Stop Sharing it Here

in #writing7 years ago

But why would anybody else want to come to Steem to see endless memes, the same crypto charts available elsewhere and with all the infighting among certain factions?

I have been asking this question for 15 months now... wait! I've only been here for 16 months!

Perhaps venues like Steemit start with a lot of idealistic dreams, and are often followed (in the early going) by other people with idealistic dreams. And then "the masses" arrive... and that's what we're seeing (sadly) here. No matter what, the lowest common denominator always seems to end up becoming dominant.

I tend to mostly write psychology, philosophical ramblings and musings about the human condition... but those are a "hard sell" here, as well. But I still write them. But not with the same enthusiasm I once had.

Everyone has gotten so damn wrapped up in "chasing the money" that content has almost become an afterthought.
