RE: The Paradoxical Downfalls Of Steemit's Decentralist Ideology...
I have now been on steemit for 5 months. I must admit I am surprised I am still here. Many things get me down, but then little things pull me back up.
I am not here for the money. In the mathematical time v reward equation my level of financial achievement would make no sense whatsoever.
But I do enjoy recognition. I have spent my adult life a closet writer. One day when everything was sorted I would write.
Now just before it is too late steemit has given me that chance. An opportunity without bounds to put words down, any words in any ways.
And then I just hope. That someone will give a little gesture of recognition.
Even the shortest comment that says those words were informative, they were educational, they were intriguing, they were funny, they were entertaining, they were inspiring.
Or they were just worth reading.
That is steemit for me.
A perfect idea, imperfectly executed.
Hello @pennsif
I have always strongly believed that the Humans On Steemit are more Valuable than STEEM itself.
I am not saying that I don't need the Money, I will still like to get rewarded for my Work.
But anything I feel down due to low payout, I always remind myself to judge the Impact of my Content, not by the amount it made but how useful it was to others.
When it comes to comments, people fail to realize that Comments on Steemit is as Important as post. Steemit counts comments as post and it will be Important for us to pass out valuable Information with every post we make.
There are hundreds of comments that are made on this Platform daily that brings more value than full posts.

Yes totally agree re comments. Growing comments is critical to the health of steemit. Bots can vote all day long for sure, but only humans (so far) can make meaningful and useful comments.
You know what....this was one of the most epic replies i've seen.
"A perfect idea, imperfectly executed" is brilliant.
I'm now following you.
Epic is good. Thank you Stella.
"A perfect idea, imperfectly executed." I love your last line - as I read it my mind unconscious ly finished the thought - at least in my head "in an imperfect world"
Yes that fits.
Well said. I think that encapsulates my existence here as well. Although, I suspect I'm not as good a writer as you appear to be.
