Where are all the Beer Drinking Whales??

in #beer6 years ago (edited)

If you follow me you’ll know that a good portion of my posts are beer related-reviews, comparisons and beer hauls, lots of fun stuff. This post is also beer related, a lament on what happened to all the beer drinkers on steemit?

When I first started posting beer stories back in January there seemed to be a healthy number of beer drinkers, amongst them were some big hitters also. I remember getting $2-3-4 per post back then (in the good old days 4 months ago). The ranks of those posting on #beersaturday contest by @detlev were growing rapidly. Now a days I’m lucky to generate $1 and some are in the dime or three area.

Seems like the drop in stew value a couple months back ran off the weak of heart or maybe I should say, those onlynout for a quick buck. @meesterboom, who has had my back on nearly all my posts, told me about a beer chat group on the Steem Chat site, said it was a happening place, so I joined up and began posting but now I seem to be the only one posting there!

So I ask, does no one enjoy a beer any more? Has Steemit become a dry site? Of course I’m exaggerating, I know a small group of beer lovers and we try to support each other. Just lamenting the lack of wider support and discussions.

If you are a beer drinker and enjoy seeing what others are drinking or taking about go check out the #beersaturday or #beer or #craftbeer or #steempub tags and show your support!

Thanks for reading my mini-rant/plea! Cheers and drinkup!!!!

I think if you continue to put up exceptional content the ebbs and flows of the whales will eventually find their way back to you. I'm not a beer guy (I like bourbon) but enjoy your reviews. Perhaps look into some post boosting to get more eyes on your posts as well. I suggested you for the Minnowbooster Whitelist.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments and suggestion for the list

I suspect if you start paying for votes any interest you have will dry up... I have not seen one person yet gain traction by doing so

Haven’t yet and wasn’t planning on it. Thanks for the sage advice!

This was a cool post, I wonder how big craft beer is nationwide

its growing obviously but I would say most people still drink primarily the main stream beers. If you look at all the new breweries popping up though you know it is doing well.

You should resteemed it and get me some exposure

I am with you on this one, I think we must just keep on doing what we are doing, drink some beer and write about it, in it time may improve again.
Cheers!!

yes that is the least we can do, drink more beer!! :)

Heer, Heer!! Nothing to add, just a Resteem and a BottomsUp!

thank you sir! and yes indeed, Bottoms Up boys! Oh and it is not too late for you to go upvote all my beer posts from the past week that you might have missed! :)
