这篇文章充满垃圾话，不适合所有人阅读。
This article is full of bullshit and not suitable for anyone.
大约 20 天前，我开始加入 Steemit 这个社群。在这些天我也试过在这里发布文章，也获得了一些尽管不多但却很有意思的收益。我对 Steemit 这个平台和它有趣的思路完全没有任何意见，但我不喜欢这里的氛围，尤其是 CN 区：
这里到处是充满生活气息的俗味中年人、长着中年内核的无聊年轻人，还有卖脸的小姐姐。
鉴于 Steemit 并不是一个像 Twitter 或者微博那样的主流社交媒体，我深深地怀疑在现阶段我要在这里找到兴趣相投的人并不容易。在我看来，这里充斥着富有生活气息的俗味中年人，即使是生活里鸡毛蒜皮的小事也要发表富含「人生哲理」的长篇大论，还有忙于晒照晒娃的叔叔阿姨们。
CN 区的用户似乎比较鄙夷他们在微信朋友圈和微博中的朋友，并把他们称作「碎片化阅读」。但是醒醒吧，你在这里发布的大部分内容和你朋友圈里的朋友们别无二致，唯一的区别是你放的屁比他们更长，然而你们都是在以你们的无趣生活作为原料制造出更多的比特垃圾。
并不是说不可以分享生活内容，但是请知道并不是你生活中的所有琐事都同样有价值。我一直觉得，类似于 Twitter 这样的短消息分享平台和长文写作同样重要，毕竟这世上并不是所有事情都值得你写一篇罗里吧嗦的人生感悟、熬一锅油腻到肠胃不适的鸡汤，话痨内容请搁到 Twitter、微博或者朋友圈等你惯用的短消息分享平台去。
（毕竟能像西尾维新那样把话痨写出花的人这世上也没多少。）
在这也是为什么即使在博客时代我也很少关注所谓生活类博客的理由。鉴于反鸡汤的热潮早就红到发紫已经过气，再就这个议题重复下去并无意义，况且 CN 区的大部分鸡汤水准连「咪蒙」都没达到。
朋友说的一句话很使我释然：
你把币圈的大部分人当作炒股人士就能理解了。
当然你圈也会有人说为什么不专注写作、做自己，一来 Steemit 是一个社交平台不是写作软件，二来既然来到这个平台也就是想用文章挣点外快，而收益的决定权却取决于平台的大佬或者说大鲸们，也就是前文所说的「俗味中年人」。别说什么收益不重要，毕竟文字社交千千万，一有「少数派」这样的科技博客，二有 Medium、简书这样的主流新文字社交平台，三有博客、微信公众号这样的自媒体渠道，若不是为了收益，大可不必在 Steemit 分享。
鉴于此我决定减少在 Steemit 中投入精力，并暂时放弃在此寻找值得 Follow 的有趣的人。
（如今除了 Twitter 和几个 blog 大概没有什么有趣的地方了。）
此外我并不看好 Steemit 作为社交平台的未来，毕竟它还没火起来就已经走上了简书的老路。写到这里突然有了一个想法不一定对：也许把编辑（curation）权力交给非专业人士的文章系统，最后都不会有好结果。这大概也是知乎这种网站对自身定位为媒体的原因之一，尽管知乎也早已一样变质。
（对了，这篇文章不插图，因为在没有必要的地方插没有必要的图本来就是智障行为。）
About 20 days ago, I came to Steemit this community. In these days I tried writing some posts here, and I gained some rewards few but meaningful.
I have no hard feeling about this platform and its interesting thoughts, but I don't like the atmosphere here, especially that of CN tag:
Here are full of middle age people with bad taste, young adults with a middle-aged core, and young ladies earn votes by face.
As Steemit is not such a popular big social media like Twitter or Weibo, seemly it won't be easy for me to find people have similar interests with me. In my eyes, here are full of middle age people busy with making endless long speeches about trivial things in their life and sharing photos of themselves or their babies.
CN users here seemly look down on users of Weibo, WeChat Moments, or something like that. They said it's fragmented reading. But be aware, most of you are doing the same thing of your friends in WeChat Moments. The only difference is that your shit is larger than theirs. But you are doing the similar things, cooking shit with your boring life.
Not everything in your life is important in same. In my opinion, Twitter-like sharing is as important as article writing, because most things in your life don't deserve a long content sharing or making a chicken soup for souls, please put those kinds of stuff in your WeChat Moments.
(After all, not everyone can make a bullshit as good as Nisio Isin.)
This is also why I hardly subscribe any life blog even when the blog is popular. As the trend of anti-Chicken Soup for the Soul in Chinese Internet community has already ended, I don't want to repeat that with no sense.
Also, someone here could ask why don't I focus on my own and be myself, please notice that: Firstly, Steemit is a social app, not a writing software. Secondly, as I come to this community, I need money, the amount of your rewards depends on few KOLs in this community, which is middle age people I said earlier. Don't tell me rewards is not important, there are many websites suitable for long article sharing. The only difference is you can earn rewards from here.
So, I decide to invest less time and effort in Steemit and give up to find anyone interesting deserves to follow.
One more thing, I hold a negative opinion about the future of Steemit, as it's on an old way of Medium even when it hasn't been popular. I guess any article systems granting curation power won't have a good result.
(And, no pics for this article. It's stupid to insert unnecessary pics into unnecessary place.)
