Drop the anger rages, loose the envy towards others, please!
After making a successfull frontpage story, i've noticed some weird things happening on this platform.
Besided from noticing downvotes by users who never contributed to Steemit (childish, i know), 75% of the 'new' items are envy, hatred filled posts on why a post never made any money, or complaining everyone earns except the user posting it.
Let me give you a good reason why:
This platform is not created to simply give you money, you need to earn your money and upvotes.
Impossible heh? Well Einstein, just call the New York Times and ask them if they'll pay you to post that nobody reads your article and their newspaper sucks big times. You'll get my point.
Contribution, that's the key to a successfull social blogging platform.
If your intentions to contribution are zero, then please take your 10$ and leave, but don't turn this awsome platform in the next bitcointalk filled with trolls and negativity just because you're unable to contribute.
