I joined around 2 months ago, and I guess I lost 'steem'...I was excited about this new platform, writers of all kinds sharing, reading, critiquing. Things changed rapidly.
Now, I see bikini pics and food porn all over my feed, it's 'trending'...of course it is, when people understand there is money to be made by catering to a human's base needs.
I am not here to point fingers, but I refuse to post a picture of myself half naked to get people to read my stuff, nor would I expect a post of Uni(yes, it looks like a tongue) to trump excellent writing and/or photography.
I will lure people in with a picture that has little to nothing to do with my writing...maybe that's being ignorant, sex sells, but it isn't what I came here for.
What I write is so much more intimate than sex, than love...it's not Tinder.
I am disappointed in what I see/read here. I wanted more, but I now feel uncomfortable, it's slimy, because we as people are slimy. I really thought this was going to be a space for writers...peeling off our skin, being more than a sexy photo. I think I'm out.
Thank you to my supporters, unfortunately, again, human nature has shown it's true face.
