/Biz/ over 4chan is my go to place when I want to kill some time. The shilling, the fud, the racial jokes, the nudes, and the occasional crypto-investing tip that actually makes sense make quite a joyful and fun place!
What always surprised me though is that I have never seen Steemit mentioned. Not even once! And believe me, all coins whether small or big get shilled there on a daily basis. So, while I was laying in my bed I decided to post a lazy message. No harm in it after all, just free advertisement for steemit!
Surprisingly, most of the replies I got where right on spot!
Edit: Some of the images below appear blurry. Just open them in a new window or zoom with your browser!
Let's see them:
The first reply I got is quite accurate! Yep, as we all know there's plenty of whale jerking going around here and true, one way to succeed is heavy manipulation.
But it's not the only way to succeed! I started from zero, with zero guidance, zero investment (heck even my nickname sucks!) and I have made quite a lot of free steem just by working hard and posting quality content... Ok, not always quality, a man has to indulge in some ol'fashioned shitposting here and then!
As for him spending 10 hours only to make 3 $, let me tell you something buddy. I used to be somewhat successful in affiliate-marketting in the past, and still make a small passive income from that days. Steemit is the easiest place to make money online! 10 hours are nothing if you plan to make money from your own website or blog! Not to mention the research you need to make for monetization methods, setting up your own website, buying a host, ad-placement etc. If you want to make money blogging, Steemit is the best place!
Then came the usual insults. Wish I had gotten more of them XD
I had to google nu-male. According to urban-dictionary "Nu-males are men (with "men" being used as loosely as possible) lacking self-respect who are completely devoid of any masculinity and will jump at any moment to defend women online for feminist brownie points while falsely believing that in return, they'll receive sexual favors. They're a step above "Nice Guys" in terms of beta they are."..
Well, I am not jumping to defend anyone other than my food..and my dog! So they got that wrong!
As for wagecuck, in my real 9-5 job I make about 500 euro after taxes per month. Which for most Greeks is the average, if they manage to land a job cause unemployment has really mooned over here! With the current price of Steem it takes me just 2-3 posts to make the same amount of money!
True, I didn't make this amount of money from the start! But if you put work in the platform, the platform will reward you. So, thanks to steemit I can say I am definitely not a wagecuck! And I am sure many other people from poor countries who "work" hard here can say the same! Take that biatch!
Let's move on to the next message:
Can't disagree with that! We need more normie (high-quality) content!
Next!
No1 & No2 make a good point. Without communities and with the current crappy tagging system it's really hard to get around here and find good content. And with more people coming everyday, it gets worse and worse.
The third guy is right though. That's because he is me! Hopefully, when communities finally come the site experience will improve!
Another legit problem that needs to be solved! I have a friend who never got the sms and similarly lost interest. Hopefully the next fork will fix this!
Next:
If we exclude the racial joke, this guy also makes a good point. Unfortunately the platform is filled with people posting plagiarized articles, nice post comments and other utter-shit and expecting to make millions of dollars. And I agree bots only make this problem worse. The second guy is again me, giving a lazy reply and not proofreading. I meant to say *"That 15 steems".
His reply to my reply also makes sense. My lazy reply is unfortunately as good, if not better, then the average post ον Steemit! We just need more high quality posters and more real content consumers here! Fortunately, this has started to change in the last few months. Just see all the big talented youtubers joining us, like and
:)
And that's all the replies I got before the topic got locked due to inactivity. You can check out the thread by clicking here if you want.
Overall, to my surprise the 4chaners raised some valid points and concerns! Maybe I will do that again sometime in the future!
