copycat writers and steem drama

_{a bitchy entertaining rant for the masses that I intend to lambo on...}

a profound statement on an inherent redundancy within the steem community

_{{writer, offstage} queue tongue in cheek sarcasm, irony and theatrics...}

This post goes out to all you serial or copycat posters who write about steem every day.
_{(except for WU because she is cool...)}
What are you doing?

I'm not saying that you write bad posts. no, bad isnt really the correct adjective...

I'm just saying that I am getting damned tired of hearing the same spiel about the woes of Steem from every Tom, Dick and Harriette ad infinitum, how the Steem community is so beleaguered and corrupt and divided, how we are going thru all these challenges, the drama, the drama, the drama!!

Don't you all think that half the drama comes from these damn posts? That maybe, just maybe, if y'all stopped expounding on it for a moment, that things might settle down and take their course, without this nonsense?

But instead the topic of the day gets milked for all the votes and comments from jaded, triggered or cry baby people who complain about how horrible bots, tokens, trending, new steem is...

because writing about steem, and the ensuing shit of it, pays big bucks.

for payout you say? nooo, I write about steem because I am enthralled by it, this is my niche, what I am known for!

Seriously? Is there nothing else you can write about? Are you that dull minded that you need to limit yourself to only one topic? Or do whales just not vote on anything that doesnt have to do with steem, even though the creativity and enthusiasm of writers and curators is what keeps this platform vital...

the formula:

tag all the trigger tags and give it some click bait title so every whale and orca will want to know what the drama is

make sure to ask leading questions or stick in a provocative statement so people will need to correct you with their superior knowledge, making your comment section look awesome

promote yourself on every server, and updoot that post with several bots, or ocdb it to be pc, so you attract the morons who just vote highly paid posts for curation rewards

and finally, sit back and rake in the rewards. repeat as often as needed.

FFS, new steem is awesome! i'm making more rewards than I've gotten in months, and thats even with the shitty price of Steem. For the first time ever, whales are voting and commenting on my posts! I'm getting paid decently for my curation efforts. I'm getting more attention and comments on my posts. The people at the top who soaked up a shit ton of the rewards thru bots, self voting and circle jerking are being downvoted, and WE ARE ALL HAPPIER!!
_{ok, maybe not the bot owners, and the accounts who used to megabot to rake in the big bucks before they got downvoted..}

So stop with the woes of Steem! Go write a real post about where you went on holiday, your kids, what you painted or fixed, how beautiful the trees are - something other than how things are not yet perfect in Steemland.

Yes, it could be better. We could go so far as to wipe bots out of existence and ask the whales NOT to vote for the same fifty people every day, who pull in massive rewards and cash them out like a monthly paycheck. But that's no reason for all these copycat posts twice a day telling us WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW.

If you want the answer as to why Steem isnt doing as well as it could be, (besides the crypto market), look at peeps wallets, investigate where their steem goes before you updoot them, ask why people are no longer powering up and investing. Write an expose and hold people accountable for their actions.

Or if you dont want to annoy the piss out of people who could feasibly ruin your rep, make a list of eleven great ideas for making better decisions in the community. Question why the people who we onboard to Steemit leave - could it be from all the alarming posts, opinionated trolling, the huge learning curve? Maybe go do something about that, write a post on how to make onboarding easier before you go to conventions to tell each other how great Steemit is.

But please please, stop writing cheer leader posts about how #newsteem will work "if we only believe". It's been done! Dorothy tapped her ruby slippers and we have left Kansas. It's working, just let it go do its thing and stop talking about it incessantly. The time for action is here. Go do something to make newsteem even more awesome, and tell us what you did!

Some questions for the people on WUs top thirty list:

Are you supporting the community through projects, incentives, new ideas, apps?
Write about that. Tell us why you deserve to be on the top thirty trending list.

Are you writing a decent post which is then dooted by whales, then cashing out Steem every month instead of powering up?
If you are, write about that and tell us WHY. Why do you think you deserve to get a Steem paycheck while the rest of us do this for next to nothing because we are dedicated to BUILDING A COMMUNITY.

_{paid for by the milk a post to make lambos a steem icon committee.
p.s. none of these images are mine because i am an unoriginal hack who copycats topics cuz i cant think for myself..}
