RE: Why Keep Steeming? Curation - Thanks - 279
I agree with you entirely, Steemit is a hobby and should be viewed as such. Blogging, YouTubing, etc. All hobbies, with a slight chance of a payout. I do think Steemit has a good chance of becoming profitable, and it can be addicting. I have to ask myself why I want to Steemit and blog. Why do I want to put forth the effort when I work 60 hour weeks? Is it worth it? What do I want out of it? Recognition? Money? Sharing Information? Those are questions only I can answer. I know one thing I have lacked about in my blog is direction and purpose. I think if I were to find a purpose to create value to others while enjoying the process, I would steemit a whole lot more.
🤔
I ask myself these same questions.
I understand what your saying. I feel that way as well. It’s fun and addicting like Facebook but with a small chance of some now distant payoff.
I've been thru 2 steemit pumps, when the pumps do come, people get ecstatic and euphoric, and the platform is filled with excitement. It is pretty cool. But the lulls last much longer, unfortunately. I think the release of dApps and SMT could be a game changer, but this is crypto, so only time will tell.
Do you know about @dustsweeper?
If the dApps and SMT don't work I guess Steemit may be DOA long term.
I guess there may be some scalability problems with Steem right now and since the day it was created.
Hmm interesting. I haven't heard anything about scalability issues, but sounds to be the norm of these platforms. If SMT fails out of the gate it will be a bumpy ride to the bottom. I haven't even considered that as an option but sure it could most definitely fail! Do you have a link to the info on the scalability problem?

And I've heard you mention dustsweeper before but I haven't signed up for it yet. I did sign up for steemvoter.
Do you know how to do a transfer? You could send it .ike .1 SBD to start out with.
Did you set it up for autovoting?
I would consider using Steemvoter but I think they do steal like 1 vote out of 10 and plus I am a big fan of manual curation.
I did, I joined a guild and will see how the results are when the week is up. I think I will throw some steem at dustsweeper, all I have to do is send it to them?
Yeah just send it like 1 Steem or 1 SBD or you could even do .1 if you are nervous about trying it.
You could try frontrunning me if you want.
What do you mean by frontrunning?
So I sent 1 STEEM over to @dustsweeper. We shall see how the results go!
