I have been around since the start of the net and when I think back on all the things I posted on forums and blogs and comments and whatever, this is only place that I can easily profit from it. Even after a year of posting here it still amazes me. We get paid to post thoughts, art,music or whatever all while building up a social structure of sorts.
From a personal stand point of what I find interesting and enjoy it is great to be in a platform like this so early, we are still building what this place will be. It has the excitement of the unknown and the open possibilities of what this place may turn into plus the drama of “omg is this all going to turn to nothing?”
I see some complain about only making a dollar on a post and it’s slightly odd to me because I still think “wow I just made a buck on whatever I wanted to post” plus that dollar has a chance to go up in value,plus it can be used to increase my share of reward pool. Just so much potential here that it still blows me away.
I think I have a solid core of people here that often comment on my work and posts and I theirs and it gives me a sense of actual community. Like part of my time here is spent being entertained by what these people have going on in their lives. I can see many of you growing in your writing or art or even building your houses and that energy of growth inspires me and I simply find it fun.
What may this place become if it stays around 5-10-forever years? I see many things that could be improved or worked on but I also see a small core of people who are seriously invested in seeing this place grow. I really think we are creating and building a place and or concept that may really be big in the future. Think of all the things that are posted on the net and don’t make any money? Now think about how we often leave just short simple comments nd make money on them....amazing!
