I know it's late to be writing a comment, but I agree with you. I got a few downvotes recently for what reason, I have no idea. I want to be able to keep uploading new chapters of Wackos 3, but I wonder what's the point; especially, if I keep getting downvoted.
By the way, I wanted to thank you again for your suggestion that I add some summary to my posts as a way to help new readers to know what happened before. I've been too busy to be able to do that, though.
I think what I will do is provide a short list of characters from each book and a short description of who they are. I don't know, but something would be good to do to let people know a little about what came before. Of course, they can read all the previous chapters if they want since those are available on the blockchain.
I wonder why I bother to post my chapters, though. Very, very few people have read them. Sigh...
It is never late to write comments :) Thank you for your attention to this post, and sorry to hear that you feel this disappointment too. I hope this will be solved soon.. :)
I realized that I wrote this following my own comment, so I decided to repost it here.
I hope it'll be solved, but I doubt it. Mostly, the vast majority of people are here to manipulate the blockchain system toward profit. No doubt, quite a few heard that if you use bots and various schemes, you'll be able to draw in large sums of money for each post you make (regardless it were cut and pasted off of YouTube or wherever).
For me, I decided to use Steemit as a way to get more people exposed to what I have written. Why do I want that? I don't know, but I write because something crawled inside me and keeps bothering me to feel I have to sit down and bang out words - a type of therapy, I guess. I'm getting older, and felt that the blockchain was a good way to protect my output from fire, data-lose, or what have you.
Some may think I'm crazy to put it out there for free, but I wasn't making much from it on Kindle and no publisher appears interested to promote it. Simply, it's better to be out there for someone to come across and perhaps be entertained by then to keep it on my hard drive, unread, and eventually be erased by some family member once I'm dead.
Therefore, I guess I'll keep posting until I finish with Wackos 3. My other books, I may or may not post. Currently, I started writing a last book to the Wackos series. If I finish it, I may put it on Steemit as well. I don't know. I haven't gotten very far into it yet, but after I finished Book Three, I knew there was one more to write.
Sorry about the long rambling, but I'm in that kind of place at the moment. Anyway, don't get too discouraged. Steemit is as frustrating and uncaring as life itself, but it's great to have the potential to share a little bit of ourselves with like-minded people around the world. Before the Internet, that was next to impossible except for a very small segment of lucky people who were provided with a mouthpiece in a very closed and controlled system.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, @keniza! I think you should continue posting your books, since you write them. Especially since for you this is like therapy. And you are right that posting your books in blockchain will protect your works from any data-lose.
I don't know English good and it takes me a lot of time and efforts to write my posts. Too much time for keep calm about downvoting. And I decided to spend this time for my work and my project. Maybe one day I will come back with my posts but not for now I think...
Thanks for the encouragement. I agree it all takes time and it's depressing when some jerk downvotes for no reason. Relax, take it time and start posting again when you get some time to spare. I've always enjoyed reading your posts and look forward to your next one.
