RE: Downvoting bastards

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

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.
