I'm pissed off.
Although the price of Steem has lately been really low, I have had more fun than ever here and felt that Steem is better than it has ever been during all the months that I've been here. And it's been two years now. This month! That long. Some of you may think: "But I don't even know who you are. To me you are neverheard."
Well in my defense, to compensate most of the things that I do do fairly quickly and not think that much on how to do it, with some tings I am an over thinker and really slow. Getting to know people is one of those things. Talking to people. It's so hard to come out of my cave. And even harder not to go back after those rare times I have managed to come out. And there I am, in my dark cave dreading the next time I have to come out and say something meaningful to someone. Do something else than just talk to myself in my lonely blog.
Anyway, I have started to love being here. This place and the things that make this place. Despite the bear market. Blogging has always been my passion but I never found the right community as I tend to write about stuff that is not trendy. But then again I don't blog about what I ate today either. Usually. So I just ranted something to my own enjoyment and changed blogging platforms and places a lot because no-one cared. Destroyed my old writings for the same reason. No-one cared. Almost no-one ever saw my rants.
But coming here was a life changer. Occasionally someone commented and that was awesome! Someone actually sometimes wanted me to know that they had noticed me! Freaking awesome.
So I think Steem has been great lately. (Not counting the last week or so.) It has been fun and there has been more truly original content here than ever. Or at least now it's easier to find. And those who really deserve upvotes, have been rewarded better by the community.
For all those reasons I do not understand those people who say that Steem has been worse than ever and it needs to change big time. Bear market and all. And especially because of the downvotes. It's aaaaaaalways about the downvotes. And how the downvotes that take all the payouts go away, are unfair. Never mind if the text is plagiarized or payout is a bit too much considering there is other far more better content available, the writer doesn't think the downvotes are justified.
I don't get it. Or I do, but then again I don't.
Greed.
So now I'm pissed off. I feel that everything that I have here, is going away. Already has partly gone away. Will be going away. I have just begun to interact with people here. There's always something. Interesting thoughts, art, photos, writings or drama that is purely just entertaining. Interesting people all and all. But now it's going away because of greed.
Tell me that I'm wrong and everything will be okay.
Tell me that I'm wrong and all the little Steemians get to keep their funds, continue writing interesting stuff and get payed for their hard work.
Tell me that I'm wrong and this all will not become controlled by one being, one person, one company dictating how things will be from now on.
Tell me that I'm wrong.
Because I'm pissed off.
I've published this next artwork here before, but I'll do that again. I love people, but I also hate people.
There are people who just basically stink.
It's the greed thing.
Greed stinks.
