Sometimes there are just things that bother me and they bother me enough to want to shout them out. I think we all feel like that sometimes. It seems to be a natural human emotion. Want to know what's bothering me lately?
Asking for re-anything/sharing on giveaways!
I don't mind people sharing Facebook giveaway posts, because Facebook is screwed up anyway. I use it daily, but I have learned to scroll over nonsense and selectively notice only posts that seem interesting. Facebook is full of bad content for a long time so it's what to expect when I open up the page. Luckily Facebook pages that I find interesting are still looking professional. It's just my friends that are sharing all the stuff (sometimes myself incl).
Twitter is a middle-between. I don't really mind the re-tweets when the tweet is worthy of it, but all those contests and giveaways around the web that require a re-tweet to participate.. I get if from the contest runner's view, but as a user who wants to get as much quality content as possible to see on my feed, this just messes it all up.
And this all goes for Steemit as well. I find Steemit to be an amazing place full of good blog posts, articles, a lot of interesting content to read and enjoy. There are many people who I'd like to follow on Steemit, because they write great content and sometimes resteem interesting posts that caught their attention.
BUT!
Whenever I get some giveway resteemed to I feed I flip out a little. I didn't ask for this, even if it's a giveaway that has a good prize. I don't mind people asking for a follow, comment, upvote or some other requirement from people to participate on giveaways, but asking for a resteem is an utter BS imho!
Be professional. Honor yourself and others.
Maybe it's just me? Maybe... I honestly honor my feed and I want to keep it professional. I don't resteem much, only the content that I really feel worthy to resteem. I would hate to bury my blog page/feed under giveaway resteems. This wouldn't be a good for anyone.
Why would someone want to follow me from free will if my blog page is just full of shitty resteems? I'd like to believe that whenever I get a new follower, it's because my page here seems interesting enough, free of all the random jibber-jabber and nonsense (although I ramble a lot of nonsense, tee-hee).
Maybe it's just my personal preference to also follow people that keep a clean feed. People that write original content or doesn't resteem much. Pick out the posts to resteem with good care to make content that you resteem valuable. To help make all of our content more valuable. Let's value GOOD STUFF!
If you're reading this...
- Please consider keeping your feed as clean as possible.
- Only resteem content that YOU want to.
- If you like to host giveaways, please consider making Steemit great (again) and don't ask people to resteem your posts. There are plenty of other things to ask them to do.
Be flattered if they resteem the post from their free will.
