Sometimes I've been wondering, spending time making post here in #hive, was it worth it? Do I really want to do it? Or I do it just to claim a community vote?
You see, back in the days before 2017, I already know about existence of #steem. It's just that I can't be bothered until I see the bull run and started throwing money in to it, and the next best thing is to found out power down actually requires 13weeks and then came the crypto winter 🤣 can you imagine how embarrassing 13 weeks later you have a total 3000 tokens in hand, but it only worth less than a hundred dollar 🤣
I've dedicated the entire 2018 and 2019 for posting on a daily basis, so I can make back the money I've gotten stuck in the blockchain. The craziest time was making 5 posts in a day. I was caught "milking" the system, I just don't admit it as all those posts were targeted on different communities, and I call that creating content for the community 🤣
Can you imagine, I had to make a post about food I eat, make another post about crypto outlook of the day, make one more post and rant about work, one fight report from playing #drugwars, and last but not least, a workout report that takes the last vote from the sports community. If I don't get enough vote from any of the post, I'd buy vote just to pump it up so it looks impressive for others. Can you imagine the time I've spent on making all those posts and monitoring the bid not trying to score a bigger vote? Before started spamming posts like this, I used to spent at least 2 hours on cardio daily, after having these spam task, I literally had to do a 15 minutes workout, take multi angle photos, split it for few day use 😂
I'm not accusing anyone, merely sharing my personal experience. I know some of you are also milking, but who am I to judge. I'm just asking myself, was it worth it? To me, that point of time, I'm just doing everything I can, trying to squeeze that one last bit out of the system and totally forgot to "live". And now, I'm back to a more laid back routine, live, trying to lose all the weight I've gained for the past few years, and the amount of pictures I took everyday, actually having more than the capacity of I can post. If I can find that way to do it, why can't you?
