Hello, Hello, Hello.......
Today I would like to discuss about something that I've been thinking for quite some time now. The title of the post gives you a clear idea of what I am thinking, right? So what do you think? Should we receive an award like athletes, singers and actors (among other professions) do for their accomplishments?
Then again, some of you may think, "Come on man...We ain't actors or athletes, so cut the bullshit." OK, you may have a point (which I don't see), but then again You-Tubers ain't no actors or singers either but they receive this...
Or even better this...
Yep, in case you didn't know, You-Tubers receive a silver YouTube Play-button when they reach 100,000 followers and a bigger golden Play-button when they reach over a million subscribers. So cool, huh?
So the question is, do you think Steemians should receive similar awards? Would you support such an idea? If yes, how many followers do you think should be the lowest limit for such an award? 5,000 followers? 7,500 maybe? 10,000??? More???!!!
Talking from personal experience, I know how good it feels to receive an award for your work. I've won a couple of them as a writer.
As part of provocateur.gr, we won 4 Digital Media Awards back in 2016 and even though I didn't attend the ceremony as I was busy traveling at the moment, it felt really good to know that one of them belongs to me.
Furthermore, me and the "Flying Dutchman" Willie Wanksta, founder and co-owner of tcmag.com (among many other successful projects) won several awards with our content in the equivalent Dutch Awards in 2014 and 2015.
Truth be told, we made it really big not just in Europe and the US back then, but also in Japan and South Korea, well before Google's Algorithm System fucks us up in 2016.
One way or another, Willie created and sent me a honorary award for my accomplishments (as a writer in general) and my contributions to tcmag.com! It feels good to receive such stuff, no shite!
The thing is what do you think though? Do you feel like receiving an award from Steemit for reaching a certain number of followers will make you happier? Or it's all about the money to you?
I am waiting for your valuable opinions because...A-ha!!!
