WHAT CRITICS HAVE TO OFFER THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN?

Nothing.

I know that sounds harsh but hey I'm an honest guy and here to serve you guys the brutal truth. The major difference between a shit poster and a naysayer (or critic as they like to be called) is that the latter takes their time to be unproductive.

Well, not all critics are actually totally useless. A few of them are less useless. I fall under this category of not-so-useless persons because I sometimes perform the not-so-useless act of constructive criticism where I try to analyze things and proffer solutions. But it is mostly useless because most of ideas are in theory and lack the required practicality to garner people's trust or support. It might have worked somewhere else doesn't mean it will work here as well because there are so many things in play that make a thing/idea work that we might not take note of. Moreover, it's more than just having great ideas. People have to trust you before your ideas most times. So if you're not attempting to build a good reputation for yourself, then my guess is no one is going to buy your idea of pay attention to it, irrespective of how great it is.

I really do consider it a very brave thing to claim to have the answer or solution to a problem you do not fully understand, and that's what most critics do. But that's going too far, most do not even have answers. Theirs is the highlight the grey areas and provoke you. This for them is a sign that they are telling the truth but they are usually far from it.

Many of us are new to the content/data industry; many of us know little and have achieved the same here to be an authority in this field. Ask the next person who tries to convince you that steem is shit what they've achieved in this industry or whose responsibility it is to move steem forward. If someone is trying to convince you of something then they should have a better alternative for you.

Let me ask: have you seen any of the people who criticize steem do anything useful with this platform asides ranting and posting things nobody really cares about (the same thing they accuse everyone else of doing)? No.

Have you seen these set of persons bring any tangible value to the blockchain? No.

Do they even take time to network with others or try to build anything substantial here? No.

That's because these set of persons have nothing to offer other than their opinion. They do good a fine job at pointing fingers at those who try to do anything. Their major selling point is their brutal opinions which are often erroneous. They've done a good at getting your attention by trigging your emotions. They are low-budget entertainers--they are here for your entertainment. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why these set of persons never leave steem? I have been here for over a year now and they literally are still saying the same thing; still powering up an earning steem and using all the dapps created by the people they deem worthless. If steem was such a waste of time trust me they won't be here; if steem was such a shitty place then it says a lot about them as well because there are many projects that have attracted the best minds and investors, why aren't they there building? Simple: they're not up to the task, neither do their voice have any relevance there. So they see steem as an opportunity to achieve what they cannot achieve elsewhere and that's is having a voice people might consider caring about.

I really do want to see these self-proclaimed Mr/Mrs. I-know-it-all do something tangible for the blockchain. Maybe create a dapp or drive traffic here with their quality post(s). The honest truth is that these people have nothing to offer the steem blockchain. Your gardening posts or journals are worth more than their opinion. I'm such you didn't come here to be a world-class content creator. Your posts are average or below average. But I have good news for you: basically, 90% of the world populations are average. People who never get to do anything exceptional in their lives; people who live in their basement. And for long this category of person have been told they're worth nothing; that their voice is worth nothing but steem is changing that narrative. I watch cringeworthy videos every day, and honestly, I have thought these people do not deserve what they get--even myself most times, but why? Why isn't it enough to reward average people for their efforts? The world is in its current state because resources are not been allocated properly. The gap between the rich and poor continues to broaden.

Hey, you might be an awful blogger like I am but I know effort when I see it. And when you remain you authenticate self and treat people with the respect good things will come your way; you will be able to solve most of the problems you want to fix with the right attitude. However, if you remain bitter and think you can trigger your way into people's mind and heart of people, well, you can. But I'm certainly not jumping on that train with you. It's a bitter road (if there is anything like that). I have been there a few times. At some point in my steem journey, I was upset about everything and I thought the best way countering all the phony people here was by being a brute but it doesn't have to be that way. I personally think how one approaches a situation determines the result they get. We currently live in a world where people think they can shout and rant their way to the top. The truth is no one wants to work with this category of persons even with their superb ideas and they have little to offer anyone

Steem is owned by no one. you define your experience. If you're not happy with something on here I think it is no one's responsibility but yours to change it. Create your own community or token. Do what you think should be done. It's really nobody's responsibility to define your steem experience, not even steemit.

If you still believe in this project called find ways to better it. This might involve little steps like taking time to edit your content or sharing it on other social platforms; it might be supporting other smaller projects in your own little way. The little things matter. But if you consider your self a critic, then maybe you should spend time making sure these problems that are are so glaring for all to see are resolved and it goes beyond talking but talking to the people who can effect the changes you want to see. That I consider productive. Ranting for attention is what losers do and I believe a significant number of us here don't have time for that.
