RE: To Bee or Not to Bee - Perspective of a Redfish

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

See my thing here is kinda the same as what you said. The quicker I can grow my account the faster I can help others. It is kind of a well kept secret around here that I am kind of a D bag so keep it under your hat so no one finds out, but what they don't see is that I am delegating a 1/4 of my total steem power to @newbieresteemday and @thehive . When I started doing it it was HALF of my total steem power. Why? because I remember how damn hard it was starting out. I am just getting my legs under me now and am figuring out all the ins and outs of everything. I love playing the dumb guy in the room act, but if you think you can just organicly grow on here when you are putting out mediocore at best content like I probably do then you are just retarded. If you don't come in as a newbie with a big name like the hodge twins or have some preset super scam in place then it is simply NOT going to happen. Can you grow? Absolutely. Will it be fast. probably not. I think of it this way. You have the same odds of becoming a whale on steemit organicly as you do becoming an NBA SUPERSTAR in my opinion. With me being a 6 foot tall , 200 pound white guy I have come to the realization that neither are going to happen in this lifetime so I do what I do at the race track. Go 100 mph, throw that bitch into the corner and hope it sticks. If it don't I am going to hit a big ass wall and it is going to fucking hurt. I have learned that people always say they want the truth but then they get real pissed off when I give it to them. Let me know if any of this seems off or untrue. :)

Sort:  

For what it’s worth, I never thought of you as a D bag, but hey, I still miss a lot, lol.

I think that’s how I got to know your name: as one of the delegators to @newbieresteemday.
It’s an honourable gesture, and I delegated to get NRD to 500sp for the same reason you did: because I remember how important it is to get support when you’re new.
The thing is... I don’t have the feeling it’s getting any easier, in spite of the fact that I’m near to rep score 57...

The parallels with my ‘real life’ struggles seem to get more obvious every day. There’s no use in putting other people’s wellbeing before your own and just be happy with the little bit that is left. Being an idealist is nice, but it won’t get you anywhere.
Why play by the rules you’ve set for yourself - why no one else is doing it? It’s just plain naive...

If anything it gets harder after rep score 45 because all the help mechanisms cut you off at 45 rep

The exact reason me and @beeyou have been trying to come up with an idea to keep some sort of support system in place for people that get cut off at 45 and people like us. So far, we haven’t been able to find any good ideas, unfortunately.
Still I believe it is necessary to make it a little easier for everyone who loses the newcomers support..,

I see everyone's comments, but just haven't found the time needed to reply back with something that is not "spammy". Will try to get back to everyone tonight, I hope.

I think we could take ‘spammy’ from you, @beeyou. Everyone knows you’re a busy little bee ;0)

I didn't mean I was really a D bag. I just play one on steemit.
:)

Wait, you are or are not a a D bag? 😉

I have never seen you typed so much!

Depends on the day.........
