I joined Steemit a month and a half ago and was super stoked when I started getting a lot of positive feedback and up-votes for my work. I will admit when you get anywhere between $100 - $600 for a post it makes you want to produce some content!
I'm not exactly sure how the Steemit monetary system works... randowhales, up-votes, don't post too much, don't write too much, write a lot, post hot chicks I have no idea; what I can say is that I write original content and I spend hours organizing photo adventures to create art. I love it and I love sharing when there is an audience that digs my vision. I am being exactly who I am and I stay true to that. I'm not complaining in the least that my recent posts have sucked ass monetarily and I'm super stoked for the steempower/steem that I have generated over the past 1.5 months. What makes me scratch my head is when I see a girl post pictures of her lobster dinner while wearing a tight little skirt and generate thousands. It's cool and it blows my mind of the possibilities with Steemit. I want to create original photography art and share my adventures with video...that's what gets me off.
*** I have also been a huge advocate of this platform*** and have a lot of followers across 5-6 major social media platforms. I have been promoting the hell out of Steemit because I believe in it. I haven't been this stoked about posting my original artwork or about writing my travel/photography adventures and the occasional photography lesson sprinkled in between all the images and videos in years. But, after I posted several videos and photos that took me many hours to make /edit to get $2.00 I was sort of bummed. I admit it.
You go from $400-$500 a post and then the big bubble bursts. Its' comical. But that is the reality of the crypto world at this moment. If you can't stomach the extreme highs and lows you're in the wrong spot. Bitcoin and Ethereum skyrocketed in 2017; then plummeted to soar yet again! Have you check out bitcoin today? Exciting to think of the future of blockchain technology and a potentially a world that is borderless in years to come. I love steemit and will continue to add value on this platform and I'm not worried about the cashola; I got a little too excited and now it's just a reality check. Produce value, aim to inspire a new audience, encourage others to participate and do your fucking best...that's me.
I believe in this platform and will continue to produce content worthy of print magazines. It's what I do. I also believe in Steemit and want to see this platform kick FB and IG's fucking ass.
Rant is over
