RE: Is There Any Room For Short Content On Steemit?

in #steemit6 years ago

haha i think content is very subjective
obviously to me i thought i'd picked out some of the best ones
I perfectly understand the sentiment
I do hope that at least some people get that I can't work for less because it's less than doing nothing at all
But I can do next to nothing at all if that's the general consensus
I have to assume that ppl are more likely to voice praise than criticism so there's a very high number of silence dissenters
I do think overall most people prefer me to stop if I can't work for less, which is perfectly fair and I'll respect it. Its like asking for a certain amount for a job and having the market tell you you're not worth that much.
thank you for your candor, very appreciated

I don't think they want you to do nothing at all. They're just objecting due to the way it looks. It's a conflict of viewpoints.
It's like if you looked out of a window on the second story, heard a loud bang, and then saw someone fall. You would think that person was shot. Maybe the loud bang was a car backfiring, and they just slipped on the ice, because of the shock of the loud noise.
If you want to earn from that content, you just have to keep working, so a larger percentage is other people's votes. If the only motivating factor is money though, you might be better off choosing another avenue.

yes I'm definitely getting that impression, I want to contribute, I think my material is at least worth more than the average vote buyer's, but if I do vote myself up, it's too visible and direct. It'll take time and I'm not as patient building up the second account because I made it for the sole purpose of not exploiting the curation trail here, and my self vote doesn't cover that cost.

But impression is everything. I think you're one of the few who understands that economically, I'm competing against a vote renting version of myself that takes just as much from the rewards pool, does nothing, makes more and receives no backlash. I don't want to do the latter, but am struggling to find a workable middle ground.

Also, I suppose to make the point in my original post, if that itself wasn't ironic enough, I didn't get to the end of your last message before replying, nice gag lol
