RE: Talk Channel: "Comment or ask a question"/ Comente o pregunte (week 271) in the WOX
I agree. It's true that communities fight about who is the strongest, the best to receive the most votes. I noticed it from the start, which makes me hesitant to post everywhere and mainly stay where I can be on my own terms and when I want. I never signed up to be pulled into fights and wars and to deal with moody people, angry because of a lack of rewards, and I don't like to be played.
Are art and writing supported? Not as long as I can remember. Not by this community or any other, not by witnesses and rarely by SCs. You need skilled people to do this 24/7 job willing to stimulate in different ways. Hidden gems stay hidden. The average SC has no idea what art looks like and can't recognize creative text. Can you blame them?
Promoting myself through Twitter I consider a waste of time. It's not that an SC will show up after I went through that trouble. There are artists on Steemit, a part left like my sibling because the focus has always been on wordcount and the diarygame, pushing those who can't write into writing. Comments, criticism, and support are only important for artists but not for 99,8% of those posting here. They came for different reasons.

Yes, it's a matter of strategy; you see this everywhere, in sports, in business, seeking out the strongest for an alliance. I don't think there's an atmosphere of war between communities; everyone does their job, although there are always some who seek more support than they receive; that's normal. Is there a part of the world where this isn't seen?
I've always seen an artist among the Top of the weeks, currently, beyond the Steemcurator accounts, only the whales that give votes in exchange for delegations remain, it's something that is normal on the platform, we must continue adding Steem Power so that there are more important accounts that support artistic content, such as the case of @xpilar who always supports this theme.
Steem dropped from 6+ euro in 2017 to 0.12 euro cents. It is a huge loss for investors. I had a talk with @wakeupkitty about this last night after the news Steem is dumped by Coinmerce.
I disagree with you about "one platform, one goal" and the natural good intentions. Envy, hate rules and no uniting which brings me to your question with this topic of a few weeks ago. You never gave a straight reply meaning the strategy is not to work together but find the idiots who fall far it. That's how I conclude if straight answers are avoided.
I agree Steemit is like life itself. Aggression, uncomfortable, manipulative and with a bit of luck a few like-minded to spend time with.
Culture difference, battle of the fittest or strategy like you call it? Strategy as in fighting wars and putting pressure on members? What it might be it makes me feel unwelcome.
We must add more SP? I doubt we small fish make the difference. The bigger wallets power down and if back receive the same support and power down again.
A road is set and the goal is not meant for everyone to reach just like in life. A few collect all SP and reign the rest delivers, bow and should be grateful with the reign of a community giving tips.
Do you notice the difference with a few weeks/months earlier? Unknown members from Ukraine joined happily and from the moment they received the upvotes they never had and complained about they turn their back and exchange not a single word. I see this "trend" in most communities. The outsider is welcome to vote, delegate SP, set the community as beneficiary but will never belong to the club cause the flag or skin colour isn't the right one.
Your position is different from mine. It colours how we see this platform. A saving net to you worth the fight and a stressfactor to me if I invest more than good for me which is now.
