Hello all my fellow steemians!
Today i'd like to post a topic that is somewhat taboo on this platform, but I believe it needs to be spoken about. It is a topic that I made a post about a few weeks ago, but I feel the need to do this again...
"Idea Stealers" are running rampant on steemit lately. It seems like everyone is trying to put their hands in another mans pocket, by stealing ideas from other fellow steemians.
Teamwork is not something it seems like most steemians are really willing to do. It seems as if all of us are trying to get a piece of the steemit pie, and everyone is thinking about themselves. I think all of us here want to capitalize on what steemit has to offer, we all want to be successful in our endeavors, but I feel team work on this platform will go a lot further than always trying "look out for self".
I have seen many people get snaked out of their ideas already, and it has happened to me more than once by more than one person since I came to this platform in May. Teamwork really just seems like a guise of friendship from a lot of people on this platform, so if you're new here..be weary with who you decide to "do business" with.
I want to be clear on some things, I think the key to success here is for people to support one another and not try to step on each other's head go higher. Find good people to work with and build a brand for yourself if that's what you want to do. Support good initiatives by telling other people about them, participate in contests and get to know the good people here on the platform. Just make sure you keep an eye out for the ones trying to poach your brain.
Anyone new on the platform, WELCOME! this is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet good people and maybe even make some coin, but remember everything that glitters isn't gold. Peace and blessings everyone!
