One month and some days in and I’m finally at 50 rep, next stop 60 rep!
I couldn’t have done this without you my followers, without SteemStem or SteemSchool! You all have helped me so much!
My opinion about Steemit?
I was never much of a social network guy, I almost don’t use Facebook, I have no Instagram and I created a twitter and Reddit account in December just to watch the cryptomarket news, I never liked social networks, I can read some posts on them but I never actually made content for them, mainly because I don’t like all the fake people that Facebook and Instagram have, most of them show a happy life full of butterflies and rainbows and traveling and…and…and…unicorns, well, that is just fake, they put a front just to increase their followers, and don’t even get me started on clickbait titles!
On other platforms, if someone uses clickbait titles the worse that can happen to them is getting a downvote, well, they earn by view, not by upvote, but on steemit, it’s not like that! If someone uses clickbait title if someone is dishonest, or if someone is actually worsening the platform we can all join up and flag them, I haven’t flagged anyone in this last month, mainly because I follow good content and I mute the obvious spammers, this is why I like steemit. In facebook we have to follow the laws of facebook, on steemit we have to follow the laws of the community, we have to be smart, and we have to work hard.
I had an awesome start on this platform, but I worked my arse off, I’ve talked to whales, I’ve talked to dolphins, I’ve talked to minnows and planktons, I’ve talked to everyone, I’ve made friends, I’ve been adopted by a family! Now, I could name all the people that I’ve met thus far, but I would be here all day!! You guys definitely know who you are!
What I don't like about Steemit?
There are of course some things I don't like on steemit!
- First and foremost, spammers, especially spammers asking for upvotes, if you ask me for an upvote you are more likely to get a flag! If you read my content and leave a good comment I can take a few moments of my day to check your content out, I don’t promise to upvote, resteem, flag, comment or anything, but I do check it out.
- Second thing I hate about steemit is bot abusers, I think I never used a bot, unless you count minnowsupport as a bot, and even then I use it after 30 minutes and before 6 days, I would advise anyone starting out to use it too, just join their discord, they are cool people.
- The third thing I hate about steemit is people that don’t even answer to comments, I once commented on a post that made no other comments, I took the time out of my day to read for 5 minutes someone’s content, and he didn’t even take a few seconds to answer back… I would understand not commenting if he had hundreds of comments, but no, he only had mine, and I asked him something about his content… of course, I never went back to check his content again.
Now, I could keep going, but I think this is enough… my first month on steemit was really good, and I’m expecting more growth during the year, this platform is a great opportunity, what we are witnessing now is the start of a new Facebook, and we can get shares for free, if you went back would you not buy some Facebook shares? I would, I would also buy Google shares...
Question of the day: What about you guys, how was your start on the platform and what don't you like about it?!
