I finally gave up and figured, "Hey let's download DaVinci Resolve." Which coincided with, "Hey, let's post some shit." Turns out DaVinci Resolve is a 1.3gb download and will take some time. 50 minutes for 4 hours worth of time. That does not go well with my let's post some shit.
The only reason I guess is so I can get some sweet Steem. Probably. Why else use the bloody thing. Have to get something.
Why do I do anything? To get something. Mostly I am not what would be called social in the whole social networking thing, I am also not keen on the network part of it because that adds to the social part and in the end, it is a Greek orgy.
I have my moments, I will comment and even read some things. I guess it is an ebb and flow. Something that along the way for the time I have now been on Steem has caused some dissonance.
Because I am a greedy pig, I realise I need to post shit and then I can get some shit. Where these blog sites use to be very one-sided; as in I partake only when I wish and very sporadically at best.
Then I started posting here and realise that although I have fuck'ol to say I might as well say something. Somehow that seems the opposite of something familiar.
I tried to fake it, and still, do. In the above gif apart from wondering if I would ever use that shit I was also wondering what fake story, poem or maybe art I could make. What can I sell today?
Before I so rudely interrupted the previous paragraph with a new sub-title, I would maybe have wanted to continue yapping about the self-imposed chore of posting many of us do. To simplify things I do mean me, and if there is a "you" then... That is nice.
So fair enough, I have blabbered on about this many times and am yet to find something that works for me. A lot of what works for me is randomly making a lot of noise once in a while.
That is not so good for my greedy need to acquire more Steem. I will never touch the whales or other fish whose names I do not know or care about. Good thing I have very very low expectations.
Steem does suffer from a whole lot of me though, but not the me that just reads. No, the me that wants to milk what they can. Even calling it milking is completely unfair to people who do an honest days job milking cows. Gotta love the Amish.
That is social though, that is media and that is networking.
The original blog sites, personal websites etc. Their users just do it better. They are also selling something and it really is not much more different than here. It is just a lot more unified on here than out there.
Being able to post shit and have almost no criteria for it to be monetized makes it easy to rinse and repeat with no other concern. True, those on facebook do not go around promoting their trash, or one does not tell a stranger to read your tweet.
Those are not monetized by default. In time, nor will any of the posts like this one either.
I guess a big benefit everyone is looking forward to are the communities, groups that will tell you what is allowed and what is not. Nice niches where I can belong.
If you have not found a tag like that to litter your post with yet. Then you probably won't.
The nice thing about communities will be to see how many people get kicked out of them. The first hurdle is the current groups we all already have, some even have their own discords, I do not see those growing unless they bribe the users.
Communities are good due to the control they give over the content. This works quite well on Whaleshares already. They are not good when they are small and single-minded like many of the ones that already exist here on Steem.
Just shut the fuck up you may be thinking, and true the last entire section lost the fucking plot. That could be because someone downstairs is making noise, like who the fuck moves shit around at midnight. Can't they hear the noise they are making? I have not heard screaming so will assume they are not rightfully getting murdered and are just cunts.
Anyhow, as I was not saying...
