RE: Bouncing off @abigail-dantes...1)a sad reflection of steemit. 2)screw it... NOT nsfw, but kinda, maybe...
Hello @lucylin, my old friend. When I was regularly posting here, I did notice a mass exodus of interesting people. I count you as one of those who stayed.
As for the reasons people left?
Any combination of the following, in no specific order:
- Competition, due in part to what people claim are poor live-streaming services
- sadly meager ROI, a system that primarily functioned on reciprocation and bots, instead of quality content; no measure of time invested
- stock rigging: I watched over 6 mos of pump and dumps then crashes, which appears difficult to believe were not intentional manipulations (you can research and find out large chunks of many cryptos were bought up by certain groups)
- retard-fest of cowardly keyboard cucks, downvoting truthful content and rival creators
- RL shit is getting very real, indeed, allowing less time for the majority who post here in their spare time to produce
Have to admit, I have not had time to investigate what improvements were made in my absence. But hope you're making a few new friends and makin the best of it.
Cheers, brother.
Hello there!
Yeah, but it's strange how some people haven't...(as in, the less interesting ones. Shit - I'm in that group by my own definition!lol)
I took a couple months 'holiday' while I was setting up my new project (not on here), so now the monetary rewards are not that relevant to me anymore.
I'm posting for my own reasons, but I'm not really finding that many engaging people to talk to - which may very will be me, as much as anything.
I'm always making the best of it, my friend, and things are going pretty well for us at the moment.
Paradoxically, it was the frustration and 'anger' over this place, that motivated me to get off my lazy arse and do the 'other thing' - it gave me the energy to actually 'do' something!
I also turned my steem money into....at present day - around $7.90/8.00 per steem.
I calculate the steem I've taken out since I began, and then see the profit made entirely from withdrawing it (and then using it elsewhere), so it has been a big success in that regard.
(and the 'value per steem' will keep going up, as I have a growing income from the extracted steem that I've utilized)
I hope you are doing well, over in cannuck land...
Real life shit is getting real, everywhere.
It's a comin'.....
So you're where all those profits went! Dog gone it! For real, tho, couldn't be more happy to hear you're crushing, brother.
I don't think it is you or your content causing the lack of engaging creators here, but that could be just me, haha.
Will be on here a bit more, not that that will help you in any meaningful way, lol. Your stuff does pop up on my feed, though. And, it's thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed.
Take care.
Cheers matey !!
Life has gotten much easier for us, since I utilized my earned steem - and got it working for me...(NOT hodling, but working it).
My average steem value now (i.e the amount I earned on steem + the profits then earned from using my steem ), continues to grow....my av. price per steem, is now is around the $ 8.10 mark.
(I think, I haven't worked it out for this last week or so)
Well that's impressive. Did shit really go up so much?
non of my endeavors involve ctrpyto, as such - it was from using the converted steem and starting other things with the money. Thats where my rewards are coming from.
eg - if i had 100 steem earned @$1, and sold - that's hundred dollars.
I then invested that 100 in something else , and now it's 800.
(based on all the prices of steem that I sold off, over my power downs. The price per steem is now up around the $8 per mark - at the moment.... But rising.)
(It's not that impressive, tbh. If it was I'd tell you! lol.
It's just grinding away at stuff, I just needed to get myself into gear after a few years of cruising semi retirement .
An unintended consequence of joining the steem ecosystem , you might say. I found out that steem had put some petrol in my tank!).
Smart man.
I put a new post up last night. I'll check for any of your new content today, resteem...etc...
