I'm Sorry
I go out into my feed and try to give people a great feeling of accomplishment by upvoting 100%. But recently, it ain't worth squat... so I just wanted to say sorry, wish it was more.
It also puts me on the fence... to stay or go. I mean I could set a bot and walkaway, collecting "Interest" as not only can I not share more with folks, nor can others. Is it a loosing proposition time wise? This needs further investigation.
Anyway I post daily and it seems as if it is potluck with the votes... yes it matters, not so much the money but the sense of self worth...should I continue to make posts everyday or, just let it ride on auto pilot, or begin the powerdown?
Enter BAT or Basic Attention Token
This will empower you and sites like Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc.. to add the "Unique" feature of Steemit of tipping and income generation.
- Will this mark a severe decline in Steemit?
- Will the value of Steem sink lower than it is now?
- Will it render Steemit as just more of a clic, than a wealth generator?
Now I am not down on this platform and it may even seem like heresy
It has benefited me greatly as I hope I have it, by bringing on people, building a blog and feeding it constantly with content, sharing the wealth (trying to anyway), with people in and out of my feed. I thank all involved, but realistically we should all watch the space continuously for future tech, current status and where time is best spent in the pursuit of other income producing ideas.
Is it possible that the BAT will be the next generation Steem (type energetic), but with greater ease and productivity (as you gain not by investing time in writing, but merely in paying attention as you complete other work that is generating wealth)? Now I get this may seem like heresy, but really it is a question and one all should be asking. As this tech space rapidly changes we need to change with it. Not Gone (but close), are the days of working a skill or platform to master it or make it nor niche skill, things change too fast and we must harden ourselves to this fact or be passed by like a branch in the rivers rapids.
To the future
I have switched to the Brave Browser and it seems a good one, I can even watch YouTube without the ads that pop up every few minutes, and this month have an option to watch specific ads from Brave that will pay me as well. I can go to sites that are heavy in ads pop up and otherwise and get paid as I research or simply browse.
Well what if they eventually do this with even TV, (I do not watch it much), the aggravation of those 10 minutes of ads and only 20 minutes of content. Well instead of getting up and doing things, the ads will be paying you to watch them... this will help them as it helps you. And the ads will get better, the intelligence level may even rise as currently they are for the most part geared to the less intellectual individuals.
Everything is moving faster and faster, we must adapt or get passed by faster than ever.
