RE: Another Rough Day: This was almost an 'I Quit' post.
There is only so much nonsense one can take before having to take a bit of a step back and doing something else. I am tired of the screaming of some people - many of which haven't stopped for years, no matter the conditions.
I could probably list off a few names and you'd nod your head yes. Some folks put far too much energy into going nowhere. Some act like they're saving the day... meanwhile hundreds are annoyed and leave, then hundreds more.
I was in a fantastic mood when I came back. All fired up with a big smile. LOL... now I'm just like w-t-f?
Don't despair too much, as whatever way it goes, new opportunities present and that means, new inspiration to paint
It's annoying, that's all. I get annoyed.
I saw arguing under a comedy post. I'm seeing some contradict themselves saying one day they don't need this Justin guy, then they lose a delegation and suddenly they act like they can't live without them. I never liked those delegations and knew many would take it for granted, rather than building up a strong and interested following.
It's like I need to write the "How To Steem' post again... but then I'll just be shot down by those who assume any sign of actual success and progress here is based on shady tactics and foul play... but I and many others who chose the legit approach put thousands of hours into this and the advice would fall on deaf ears. People would rather preach the same narrative over and over and over and over and over again.
Everywhere I go someone is trying to convert me. Gotta be on that far right or that far left to be part of the flock. Common sense was thrown out the door weeks ago. People converted their once interesting blogs into propaganda machines.
Good people are leaving every day. Replaced by all this noise that is going nowhere. Provocateurs and trolls are applauded. It's like the blind leading the blind. Everyone's yelling and nothing gets done. It looks exactly like real world useless politics. People are paid top dollar, to do nothing but talk in circles.
The delegations were always going to end, though no one expected them to come to a close this way. as I said on that post, it is falling on deaf ears I fear. I don't fear it because I want they get the delegation back, but rather that they are still trying for the delegation at all. As I wrote a few days before about this eventuality, gotta stand on your own two feet.
What are they trying to convert you into? Or do you mean those religious fanatics? ;D
Whatever is to come needs to be significantly better than what was lost.
I expected it. No matter who, what, where, when, or why; I knew it would be ugly. Months ago I saw another brainiac writing up a 'How to save Steem' post (because let's always turn a blind eye to those who managed to make it work and never ask them for advice, always assume it's broken if people can't get the ball rolling on their own) where they wanted to give damn near everyone a handout, just for showing up. I called it welfare that day. It's so bad here that everyone needed to be on social assistance? Nobody wants to work? I didn't make too many friends that day.
Why would someone invest if they can just get millions worth of a handout? Why would a casual consumer want to invest if someone will simply bail them out? How can one outpace inflation if the inflation is used to provide more inflation? I've been talking about the consumer driven model being neglected here for, years, yet that's where the money is to be made in the entertainment industry. An industry seemingly most folks here don't even realize they're in.
You say 'eventually' people have to stand on their own two feet. I say they should know how to walk before they even get here.
I'm concerned whatever comes next will be more of the same. Always moving the goal posts and changing the rules to cater to the needs of those who can't score.
Workless wealth is what I call the disease... Money for nothing doesn't exist - even with digital money.
This was more for the applications. But I agree - there should be no children here - though there seems to be an abundance.
We will soon find out.
Shit just got real.
yup. Got your game face on?
