Title: 20 minutes

People on STEEMIT don't appreciate ART

As I sift through the endless shitposts on #trending, it becomes clear that the community dislikes the visual arts. I do not understand why, because most of them plagiarize images on the interweb on a daily basis. Their shitty posts would never get upvoted if it were not for hard working artists who share their images online.

As such, I am once again taking it upon myself to educate the uneducated masses that flock to steemit to make their undeserved profits from below-average research articles. Articles that would only be considered informative if the reader is trying to learn how to be bad at words.

The Content Mobs

I was informed that there are mobs out there, policing the payouts that artists receive from bidbots. One such an artist goes by the name kettle@kettle.

He uses the platform to showcase his art. He is mostly focused on traditional art. (For the artistically illiterate majority of you fuckwits, traditional art refers to art that is made with mediums such as pencils, paint, and paint brushes.) He does not rationalise his art in most cases, because he is not an illustrator or graphic designer. He creates emotions. Art that is meant to be interpreted by the viewer, not the artist. It is called FINE ART. And it's the reason why the age of enlightenment happened, and why you are now able to earn money on this thing called the INTERNET.

Anyway, these mobs have been raising flags regarding his 50c payouts, that he himself buys from various bidbots. He is relatively unknown, and because of his ignorance, he believes the scammers when they say vote buying is a form of promotion.

The mobs believe that he is getting too much for a painting that takes him between 12 - 1200 hours to complete. While they get payouts of $10 for articles they write in an hour. Articles that would get laughed at were they to be published on any reputable platform.

kettle@kettle is but one of these artists being disadvantaged by the illiterate masses on this platform. I, myself, have also noticed this trend. I am able to make a hefty profit from puking out words that have no value or meaning, while my art gets almost no respect. Art that actually has value. That brings my fanbase to this platform. And that actually generates meaning in the real world.

Conclusion

The majority of users on this platform are parasites. Only here to get rewarded for bullshit posts. They have no creative drive. They don't have a need to create. They could care less if this platform has valuable content. STOP UPVOTING THEM.
