You speak my mind and I just posted a long comment with my opinion on another blog.
Here it is :
"I do not follow so called trending posts that much and take lots of time to find so many other interesting ones with focus on topics I am interested in , mostly from people who show their "human" side , their skills without bragging how great they are. Their stories say IT all ! Personally, I prefer and like people who bring depth and their passion to this platform. I accidentally found this discussion and think its a very valuable one , so I explored on this man's blog a bit more , who's first post I actually up-voted as well but chose not to follow. I wanted to understand better what you wrote Steve . I agree with you 1000% ! Where is the humble side ? This kind of man turns me off . Look at him "throwing" his dollar bills in your face like nothing else would make you wanna stay on steemit but money. Yes , we are all here to earn little cash , invest in a very promising future for creatives but he seems like a robot to me , soulless . You intimidated me "dollar something " , strange enough you really threw me off for just one second. I made 200 in 2 weeks , more than I ever made in years on Facebook !! I am damn happy with my few little cents & & $ I earned with my stories . I do not want your advice and today I chose not to up vote you anymore , nor waste my time to comment . I am new in the blogging world , even though I have over 15000 followers on various platforms through my music promoter activities in the past . Don't misunderstand , I do respect this mans success and advice for the ones who value it . The picture of my success looks different . Steemit inspired me to write and also read more again even though I might fit into his sarcastic - DO NOT Write about- " how to paint a fence " category . So what ! Who is he to say whats good or not , right or wrong . Some sheeps who need celebrities they can look up to , your " kind of human " might be important for this communities' growth. Thats ok ! So , enjoy among all of us little but cute , colourful fishes and stophhhh the noize !"
