rant start
I see a lot of people stressing about getting lots of votes but not much rewards, it is quite frankly becoming a bit annoying to me. Somehow some users feel they know which posts should be getting rewards and which shouldn’t. I have read absurd comments like:
> How did this meme get 800 bucks!
Or
> Throwing balloons into the sea gets you thousands but my post only gets cents
Etc, etc etc… I see at least 10 of these bitching posts per day and I have even read people talking about quitting steemit!
To me it all comes down to one very natural but ugly human feeling: envy , it is a feeling we all have at times but it is a feeling you must fight and at the very least you should not let it out and tell everyone how jealous you are of other bloggers.
Bottom line is all steemians; Whales, Dolphins or Minnows will vote on whatever the hell they want and judging other people votes it’s not only stupid but also irrational, it’s basically saying that your way of thinking is the way everybody should think!
Remember just weeks ago when you spent hours at Medium and Reddit and you got nothing to show for it?... yeah that’s right you were happy blogging then, but somehow now you feel you deserve thousends!? Come on!!
rant stop
So, I want to finish this post on a rather happier note and give a sincere recommendation to everyone out there who is either feeling frustrated, angry or even abandoned by whales and dolphins:
“If you are getting votes, that is all that matters, it means that people like your posts and eventually a whale will like it too and vote for it. Just don’t stress and whine because that really won’t get you any love from anyone. Be yourself and write stuff you like because at the end of the day it is your blog”
Live and let live!
Note: This post was not meant to be a rant but I just couldn’t help myself while writing!
