RE: Shallow 4 Shallow – The Tales Of A Manual Curator -- July 7, 2017
While I'm against the 'greed' angle, I sometimes feel that by being nice or not being excessively clever (no pun intended) or conniving or sneaky that I am missing out on the success that the greedy people might be getting. Basically, the 'nice guys finish last' angle is what worries me, and that by 'playing by the rules' you end up being passed up by the people that are willing to get their hands dirty.
I completely see the angle and the frustration....
This is when a lesser mind does the bad things and gets burned sooner or later. And what scares me, I know I have not seen it all. There are more scams and frauds to come.
@Negativer I totally get what you mean (I am about 2 weeks into steemit) however you can be nice and maybe just a little bit clever, and run circles around most people by actively engaging in the community (which you do some on chat) and being extremely proactive in your approach. In my 2 weeks I have about 275 posts. 50+ actual posts and over 200 comments 70% of which are at least a few sentences and genuine. My whole point being, the way to do it here is the genuine guy way not necessarily nice guy. You are doing great!
