RE: Just Another Peaceful Warm Summer Evening, While the Storm Rages
howdy sir denmarkguy this fine Saturday evening! I never think about prices, I just let the pros worry about that stuff then write about it so I can know what's going on. Steemit is full of brilliant minds, I love that part of it.
I also love that wonderful, serene photo of yours!
Greetings @janton, thanks for visiting.
As writers and "engagers," it seems like we are often in the minority around here. I find myself musing on that from time to time, but it doesn't really want to make me change direction. I am not here as a "money miner" of any sort... although I do think it's really cool that we can build our stake and influence through building SteemPower.
There is a concept from gaming (and probably elsewhere, but I'm a daggum millenial so all I know is gaming) called "min-maxing". The idea is that you take the time to figure out the most efficient way possible of achieving a goal (usually gaining experience points or earning in-game currency) and then you do it over and over again. There are certainly some people here who are playing the "min-max" game, but you are definitely not one of them. The time it takes you to engage with your readers is never going to earn back nearly what you could have made if you just churned out some more posts instead. For that, I am very thankful.
I expect quite a few of them have found their way here from "Microworker" sites; literally "work farms" where people are offered "work" that pays maybe a couple of cents to perform an eternally repeated menial task. I know the "downvote farm" that showed up a few weeks back was the result of being advertised on such a site.
Anyway, thanks for the shoutout!
