RE: Why I expect to fail on Steemit
It's important for the health of a community that its members are thinking of how they can contribute rather than what they can get.
There seems to be a certain kind of content that is more rewarded than other types. Putting "block chain" in the title seems to help. But it's not surprising since it's a young platform that's rooted in a community around that.
I think that the community will diversify with more mainstream adoption and other kind of contributions will also have room to grow.
One good example of rewarded contributions based on its greater benefit is the @utopian-io project. I've already posted a bunch there and contributed to the steemit platform itself.
I liked your "My Worst Nightmare" post. It reminded me of the time my best friend and I were going to watch a video (VHS in 2003!) and had to get the VHS player out of his closet. I won't go into the details, but he left his turtle in there to hibernate and, well, it died. I flushed it down the toilet. We turned on the TV and put the cassette into the player and white noise appeared on the screen. I expected to see an image of a toilet bowl appear, and then the turtle crawling out of it and coming through the screen.
I didn't mention that the turtle's name was Sadako - the name of the character from the Japanese version of The Ring. She was given that name because they both crawled in the same way.
Anyway, I don't think that I can that no animals were harmed in the making of this post.
Haha, that was a pretty messy story. I cherish all my memories, good and bad, because they've taught me a lot. The bad ones taught me things more often than the good ones. But the cringe worthy ones I try to take out as seldom as I can from the dark corners where I keep them :-D
Cringe humour is too much for me, so a dark corner sounds like an appropriate place to leave them.
Now I'm having flashbacks to when I had to walk out of the room while watching the UK version of The Apprentice.
