This is the second most difficult post I've ever had to write, and it always is when you have to admit that you're doing something wrong, especially when you didn't know you were doing it.
Hello, my dear readers and also hello to all those people who are following me for the first time!
Please don't be upset that I mentioned you in this post. I mean it, have a little patience.
I really appreciate the reception my posts have had lately from all of you. It is you who inspire me to continue working at Steemit.
I want to take this opportunity to apologize deeply to all of you to whom I have sent memos without your consents
I've noticed that the way I've been spreading my recent post is not very well received. I mean the memos. However, I ask for patience before making any judgments in your mind.
Like everyone else, I got started on this platform with the idea of getting economic benefits quickly. With just writing, I would make hundreds of dollars. How wrong I was.
Initially, I thought receiving memos was nice, because you got money for a little message. Obviously, for most users, it's a very small amount and almost worthless, but where I live makes the difference all those little cents. Then I understood that it is a way to make my post known to other people, my post would be known by paying a small tribute (a minimum of 0.005 to 0.015 STEEM) to inform all users about them and also, I wanted them to read them, I wanted to make me known (we do not all?).
It always seemed to me a fair way to advertise my post, a way for other users to find out about my existence. Because on this platform is difficult to know Who has published What, and even more if you have more than 100 followers.
I've received hundreds of memos and they don't really bother me, and now less since the Steemit wallet is in another area of the platform. Fortunately, I have GINAbot, who informs me of every transaction within my account.
How else can I make users see me? The memos!
So far everything was fine (I wrote the sentence in the past).
However, I have seen that there are many people who are annoyed, angry because memos are an invasion of their privacy and a hindrance that makes it difficult to read their transactions. And it's true. They're absolutely right. I complain about Jehovah's Witnesses because they insistently knock on the door of my house to give the word of God, constantly. By doing so, they are not only disrespecting my privacy, my right to choose my own religion but also disrespecting the religion I have.
I realize that I am doing the same thing they are doing by trespassing on the users accounts without their permission.
That's why I made this post. If it's not too much trouble, I'm going to mention all the users who visited me in the last post and those who have received the memos I sent earlier.
Dear reader, if you do not wish to receive memos or mentions from me, please let me know through a comment to this post and I will immediately remove it from my memos list.
Yes, I have a list of users, it is very difficult for me to remember more than 100 users and I want to remind them that I exist every time I write an interesting post.
And yes! The one in the photo is me, without a suit... Natural (for decorous reasons, I'm wearing a shirt...) and with an infernal heat!
Again dear reader, I want to offer an apology if I have somehow offended you and I hope not to disrespect you again. The least I want is an angry reader.
Before I finish, I want to mention something very important to me. I am a friend of , many of you should know him, maybe you do, maybe you don't. He has been a good person with me, he has been a great support to endure the tough social, economic and political situation that we, Venezuelans, are facing. Everyone at this point should know that thousands of Venezuelans are constantly fleeing or migrating from the country. But I'm still here because I have a family that depends on me and I just don't want to emigrate (but that's another matter). And if I know anything, it's that only good friends offer their hand when you're on the ground. And he has not only helped me, many compatriots as well. Maybe he's not a saint, nobody is, no human being is perfect, but he's a good person and he's doing a good deed. And many people I know can tell.
If being his friend means being called a cockroach, so be it.
Every story has three versions: the plaintiff's version, the defendant's version, and the truth.
Let us continue to spread the love for Steemit and for all of you because without you there is no Steemit.
Thank you very much for accompanying me til here
