Niches & Crèches & Whatnot
What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
Let's talk about what we talk about. I don't want to speak for all minnows, but in a decently active 2 months I've had like 2 and a half good ideas for topics I've been posting. *How would you rate your doubt on a scale from 1 to 10?
I'm not just talking about Steemit. What about the other jump-offs? On Zux, I have purged multitudinous followers by posting literally every political article I find practically. I also argue pathologically. On Birdz, I hardly use the dumb thing. It's too rapid and I have to work and I use more words. I have an empty Slack and Discord and Steemit.chat are not practical for me. Just mobile, here.
I won't post links to some of my previous articles, but they're not too deep in my scroll right now. Trying to moderate my voting and resteeming a little more these days.
But how am I doing?
Seriously, how am I doing? How are you doing? Have you found page discrepancies between your platform uses? Do the people that like your stuff on here like the same stuff over there?
Tl;dr
My topics are Upper Midwest, cybershaman stuff, and I tried drawing and fiction, gonna share some of my tarot autodidactyly. What are yours?
Have you found your niche?
Vote or don't, follow or don't, resteem or don't. Do what thou wilt. Steem on!
Zux what?
I binged it and it says it's synonymous with "sucks"
My own idiom for FB, Zuckerberg's-->Zuck's-->Zux.
Not interested in crypto, have no clue about crypto and no, I don't care to learn (at least right now). But i wrote blogs before...i use em as my journals sorta speak. But my man is into crypto and he "pushed" me into steemit. My first impressions were just...well not the best. I felt so out of space and time. I told him i will give it a try but also stated: this is not blogging, this about making coin and most posts portrait that. Like a bad date when you can feel how desperate the other person is to nail it. :) I doubt I will "feel at home" here.
Was quite lucky to find #yunk almost at start. The tag is more people based. Community.
So no niche. My post mainly derive from personal life. May it be in a comic style or just a train of thoughts. I don't follow a blog cuz of a niche. I follow people.
There are no hidden charts and strategies in my bra. I don't need em. I don't wonder why one post made it and the other didn't. As cliche and unbelivable as it may sound: I'm here to have fun. :)
Sorry for such a long reply!
Wait, I don't know #yunk! Something to do later!
See, I think about strategy some because it really does act a bit like a marketplace. I do want to be paid to write, and maybe trying different size boxes for myself helps me focus.
I wonder if there are two sides to Steemit, the more community-minded side, and the criers at the bazaar like me. Followed.
I know exactly what you mean and i dont judge noone. I watch my t's and i's too. I puts some thought in my posts...but its all done for a different outcome. Nothing wrong with it.
As two sides of steem it....yes. I know i was looking for a community and was like....what is this place? Like everyone on its own....as u've said it...shouting to be hurd? Selfboting posts...wtf is this and what am i doing here? :) And i think thats the main issue with steemit. I dont wanna log and feel like i came to work....i want to feel like I just got home from work and now i can relaxe, sit down and have a cup of coffee. :D I dont want yo to be my competitive coworker (i have those at work)....if any of this makes sense to you. :)
Id follow you but then id have to unfollow you first and i think that might be a bit silly...so just gonna leave it as it is. :)
I like how some of the off-platform mechanics keep me challenged, since I'm in it for being rewarding for writing. Then the two sides meet in the middle for the comments section!

I have been publishing online for 20 years and i still think I havent found my niche. I am a surfer martial artist musician gardner father husband animal lover. The list goes on Hey I am into crypto now!. When I just write about me people read it for some reason.
That sounds like me but with less and/or more emphasis on similar roles. Just trying to platform that rewards my semi-lucid ranting! Followed.
