<h2>Seriously!? Internet, you can do better....</h2> <p>I have been here for a very short time, and this place is already kind of getting the feel of "Tumblr for Anarchists" to me. Don't get me wrong here. I love the idea of this place, with its anarchist, well written articles, incentives that make sense, its a digital paradise for those of us who love writing and pontification from on high. Now, look at those articles that get the most votes (also those articles people are most like to copy). They are mostly about how to make money here, how Steem is so great, or how to be successful. </p> <h2>I don't want this place to fail. </h2> <p>I know everyone always says write what you love, content is king, and every other cliche topic on blogging you can think of. But in reality, we need to do a better job of bringing better content AND readers here. (I am completely aware of the irony in that statement, BTW). I'm not a professional writer, and I probably won't write to many articles here. That's just it, with titles like: <em>After 12 hours I made more than most people in the world make in a year with one post</em>, are we really bringing in the kind of people that we want. This wreaks of grifter, late night 90's television VHS selling, real estate "make millions over night" programs. Stop with these post, I ask kindly and sincerely. This also goes for title such as:</p> <ul> <li>Want to be a Steem gigagillionaire?</li> <li>Why Steemit is so AWESOME, and how you can make money with it</li> <li>Steem is better than other things like Bitcoin, water, or your first born</li> </ul> <p>I'm not jealous, like I said I don't plan on writing too many articles. I'm no professional, nor do I have any significant amount of time I can dedicate to writing articles I would consider worth reading. I want this site to succeed, and in order to do that we need to do a better job of reward articles that don't stroke our egos, but rather are actually of value. </p> <h2>Stop with the Greed-Wave</h2> <p>Stop bringing in greedy, get rich scheme chasing, lazy people. If you want to continue to make your billions on Steem, stop tarnishing your personal brand with this crap and start writing value driven articles. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>To the rest of you who are already doing this, thanks! That's why I came here in the first place, you are the reason this place will make it big.</p>
