RE: Reflections On My Second Adoption By Freewrite House
I'm guilty of reading but not commenting, and because I am like that, I like to assume the same of others... but at the same time, Steemit used to have a "page viewed # times" counter at the end of each post... and the number was usually VERY small. When I first joined, it confounded me how a post with $20 and 400 upvotes could have only be seen two or three times... then I learned about the autovotes and whatnot.
Sigh.
I'm so very busy at the moment too. I'm trying to do March Madness but have fallen behind. One of my wisdom teeth needs to be seen desperately but I can't afford it until July when I get my tax return. The pain is hard to think through sometimes. My son is at an age now where we're go-go-go-go most of the time. Then there's my study and my partner in the US who gets the majority of my free-time of an evening. Life!!
I made a pact with myself this year to comment more on steemit... so far I have. Kind of. No where near as much as I'd like, but I'm trying to be here there and everywhere a little bit more.
Sorry, this post sent me into self-reflection, haha! With your ideas - I love how there is soooo much going on at once. There's always something to pick and choose what to do! :D I have nooo idea how our @freewritehouse leaders cope with it all. Also, with March Madness, it was definitely more of a "thing" in November when it was done alongside NaNoWriMo. Back then I ended up with two main #madfans who I appreciated immensely. Two people regularly reading and commenting, it was amazing. I've been trying to give my fans the biggest upvote I can manage which at the moment is 60% and about 8 cents because I'm also trying to reward all the other mad writers. I was originally giving the other writers 100% but I was drained SO FAST, so now writers get 50% and the fans 60%. I bought a recent delegation solely for March Madness and rewarding people... still not enough! (should've bought more! And I probably still wouldn't be pleased with it, haha. I need to be a whale already)
Babble babble babble. I'll just be moving along now, haha.
I'm sorry @Steempeak is being annoying! I get logged out every couple of days, which irritates the heck out of me, but is manageable. Usually.
Stop by and babble anytime you like!
To participate on Steem a great deal of energy has to be spent deciding how to allocate funds, how to accrue funds, how to attract upvotes with value, whose posts to comment on in order to get a bit of moola, how to enter contests with moola for prizes etc. For a while I was happy to do this, it was a bit addictive actually, but then I got tired of that being my focus. There is so much valuable content being generated here! Much of it just gets lost in the race to make Steem a more valuable crypto and to get more of it for oneself. I am conflicted about that aspect of Steem.
My 100% upvote isn't even worth a half a cent yet, so I just do it for the warm and fuzzy I hope it gives the receiver. I try to follow it up with a comment to but, as you have said, I don't always have the time.
