When I first started on steemit about 3 weeks ago, it was great. I was seeing tons of cool stories, adventures and ideas. As the days pass by and I keep blogging, my posts are starting to get less and less views. I am also starting to notice the news feed is full of the same thing over and over and over again. Steemit is supposed to be a site where positive thoughts are shared, stories and adventures are shared. Everything that gets upvoted now is mostly about..steemit..
I mean I get it, steemit needs to grow and the word needs to spread, but everybody is starting to limit their ideas to strictly being about steemit. If it's not about steemit it is somehow connected to steemit. If the community is fine with that, that's cool. But steemit will never go mainstream as long as the top posts keep being just about steemit this, steemit that. I got on here and instantly fell in love because I was seeing people's lives change. I was seeing adventures. I was seeing inspirational posts. The more I see posts mainly about steemit getting upvoted so much, the more I want to stop using the site. It's turned into a game of who can post the best post about steemit. No one is sharing their true thoughts and feelings anymore. That's just my opinion.
I am guilty of tying steemit into my posts as well, but I am still posting about and doing things that I love to do. I spent the weekend making a surf video based around steemit and really thought every would love it and that i would get some positive feedback..I got nothing. It's like unless you post about the technical shit about steemit, no one cares to read it. Most of the posts are people taking the same information we have already read and just rewording it. I am in no way bashing anyone, I just think the site is losing it's purpose very quickly.
