Steemit is so important to us all , i am so happy every day to see that more and more people are so genuinely interested in sharing on steem all kind of stories...and be rewarded for it. It's amazing !!
But, i also remember the day i came home and spoke to my wife for the first time about Steemit...it was only 4 days ago. Not only that we both came to love the whole concept , but for me it was more than that as i knew how much she loves writing.. So it was actualy the perfect thing that happened to us as we expect a baby soon and knowing that she could do what she loves anyway, but being also rewarded .. really made her happy.
Today , i found her a bit discouraged .. and i also came to see why , after i watched the "trending" posts ( with highest rewards ).. These posts were actualy YOUTUBE VIDEOS , some PARODIES ABOUT MAKEUP .. Funny in their own way , i get them, but rewarded in an unbalanced way compared to the time and dedication someone put into writing a story.
Don't get me wrong please, good for them .. happy for anyone earning a dollar.. but i have my sympathy towards the class of true writers ( people who are trying to transmit to others emotions, feelings, hope, images..etc , through their words .. not with a Youtube video in which they become clowns) . I would hate to come home and find my wife making a video like that...instead of writing touching stories.
Thats all i fear.. and please if i offended anyone , i sincerely appologise .
I am a simple Taxi driver and i really love Steemit .
Wish you all the best ,
Eddie
