RE: Steemit Open Mic Is About Building A Community Of Musicians On Steemit, Not About Winning

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

I’m dumbfounded that anyone would complain to you or the other judges. Really?! Wtf are they thinking??.
I mean, maybe I’ve missed something because I’m new around here, but isn’t it obvious that sharing music and meeting other like minded creators is, not only what this open mic stuff is about, but just good old fun to partake in?
The rewards are a good incentivisation to contribute regularly, but it shouldn’t be any self-respecting artist’s motivation for sharing their music performances.

Funnily enough, I’m so new I didn’t even know I could PM you. Lol! (But now that I know... insert evil laughter from Dr Doom 😂 🤣 ) But, come on fellow entrants, since when has harassing people ever motivated them to WANT to help you?!?
Seriously?
Has it ever truly worked for you in any positive way?
Maybe you’re unaware of basic human psychology, but generally speaking, harassing people makes them strongly dislike you.
Like a magnet in reverse.
My advice would be to get off Open Mic, go meditate (perhaps while practicing your music) and let go of your sense of entitlement to get your integrity back into the center of your being, then come back with an open, grateful heart and share in our community.

For me, having placed in the top 5 a couple of times was friggin’ awesome, but not because of the money (which is awesome, don’t get me wrong), but mostly because it is acknowledgement of the hard work I put into my music and my performances.

I find myself checking the ‘REPLIES’ section of my profile almost obsessively much more than anything else because I’m hoping to meet more amazing musicians and content creators who’ve commented on my posts.

It’s the people who’ve taken time to watch my music performances and commented on my posts that inspire me to go and check out their profile and upvote their content creations.


That’s how it grows, dear Steemit friends!

Anyway, @luzcypher and open mic judges, thank you kindly for all the hours you generously put in. You’re all wonderful beings supporting music and the arts in the best way.


Please don’t get disheartened by selfish dipshits that have $SBD in their heads, obfuscating their hearts.

The rest of us love and appreciate you immensely.
🙏🏽⭐️💚🎼🎶

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's how that works. LOL

You definitely get what Open Mic is about. We're supposed to be having fun here folks.

Sure have been loving your music and energy @nathankaye and can't wait to hear what you do next.

And now you get that I get that you get that I get it... hehe...
Can't wait to keep sharing, bruthaman! Thanks for all you do!
