Why Steemians Need To Be Positive, Post Quality Comment, And Not Whine!!!!
Being a trailblazer comes with some responsibility.
The people who are on this blockchain now are laying the foundation for all that follows. In other words, we are the ones who set the tone that will be applied going forward.
One of the issues I hear with Facebook (since I am not on there) is that it is a cesspool of negativity. People use that platform to whine and complain. It is stunning how people feel the need to publicize all that is wrong with their lives yet they do.
Part of the reason for my optimism with STEEM is because this community is very strong. People are starting to embrace a new mindset, one that looks out for others. Sadly, we still see some of the bankster instilled fear which results in some less then enviable behavior. It is my hope that we all can move past this while elevating ourselves to another level.
I must state that legitimate issues about the platform and discussing them in a proper manner need to be done. This is not a post saying we all need to stick our heads in the sand pretending everything is alright. There are some challenges with Steemit that need to be addressed by the community. However, raising an issue in an effort to start a discussion towards resolution is a big difference from the whining and complaining we see elsewhere.
Most of us are well aware of the opportunity that is before us. There is a lot of money available along with the ability to start changing the world. For this reason, I believe Steemians need to take this responsibility serious. When viewed from this perspective, we can see this is more than just a social networking site.
It is hard to understand why people are upset when they are making money posting, upvoting, and commenting. Even newer people who have little SP have the opportunity to make a lot more than is given on Facebook or Reddit.
We are embarking upon a new era due to the technology of blockchain. Steem has more activity than any other network providing payouts on a daily basis to tens of thousands of people each day. This is an incredible development considering Steemit is about 18 months old. I am going to hypothesize that over the next 18 months, this number will grow into millions of people positively affected.
That said, people are not going to be attracted to a cesspool of negativity. From what I can tell, many on here are happy to leave that behind. Let those who are interested in that reside on Facebook. For those who seek to elevate themselves and others, this is the place for them.
It all starts with quality content. Of course, the term "quality" is relative. What is quality to one might not be to another. Nevertheless, we each need to focus upon raising the standard of our posts. It is easy to attack a garbage post of a pic or video that hits the trending page. Yet the question is how many of them do we see on the New page? Even more importantly, how many of those appear on our blog?
The reason we should do this is simple: newer people are watching. People tend to follow the crowd. If we put up negative or empty posts, we are training the new ones that this is acceptable. On the other hand, if we take the time to put up posts with the intention of making this place the best possible, others could well follow suit.
Another aspect of this is that, for many, STEEM is the first entry into cryptocurrencies. We are going to be moving into a tokenized world meaning that everyone is going to be dealing in them at some point. The earlier people get involved, the greater chance they have to alter their lives and their families. STEEM is a sensational entry point since it requires no money to get started.
The STEEM blockchain is special. It is up to each of us to make sure it stays that way.
