RE: Why i think steemit is a scam (4)
A scam is different to what you describe here.
Your friend is getting the benefit from knowing someone with a big influence here and you don't and to be honest, that sounds like sour grapes to me.
Never mind what your friend is getting, concentrate on your own stuff and build your own network.
I came here because of someone I 'know' from FB - @markmorris. Mark did nothing more than post a status saying he was writing on this platform to see how it goes and I came to see what it was all about too. Mark is getting along very well with his Steemit, but that's because he's good at what he does and he found a way of translating that into Steemit language. I'm still finding my feet but do I blame Mark because I'm not reaping in the rewards?
Nope! I thank Mark at every opportunity because without his post, I would have got here later than I did.
Your friend may have recommended you come here, but the rest is up to you.
If you followed your friend to University, would you expect them to be doing your homework for you so you could get good marks?
Come on, follow some people, upvote a few posts, comment on things that catch your interest, but don't say 'scam' when you could say 'opportunity'.
Have you read my first post,read it if you havht.And why this friend has so much influence,because he has value or because he is a clone of a group of whales who are upvoting him?Do you know the answer to this?Its better to do your homework and watch all the others who get the money and see if they are worth that money when you get nothing
i am going to post again to show how scams are organised in forums .
I suggest you read through the WP, and learn about how rewards are generated. I'll be curious to know if you understand what 'inflation' and 'monetary supply' means.
All i see right know is you working your ass and get nothing while i sleep,thats enough for me
I don't think you really comprehend what a piss in the bucket it is for this whale. They livin it up now, while such crass displays of extravagance and nepotism go on for all to see. In a few months this whale will have nobody following him because he's an arrogant, pompous, probably irritable twat, with no friends, and maybe Dan will take my suggestion and make a 'Preferred' Stock form of Steem power, and make it so you can switch it over, and they go back to watching oprah and every so often watch their Super SP go up faster now they don't vote.
Meanwhile, how many dogs, cats and retards got shot in the last 24 hours by roid crazed cops?
I don't have to read anything you post, just like you don't have to read anything I post, but I'll give you this nugget of advice for nothing:
You get more bees with honey than with vinegar.
Now, I was kind with my first reply to you, but this time I'll be brutally honest.
You get nothing in this world without working for it - unless you strike it exceptionally lucky.
You bitching and whining that you don't have the Whale friends that someone else has is all well and good, but trust me, you're never gonna get any Whale friends by whining like a brat.
Get some work done and get onto working this platform. 700 posts is 'easy' is it? So why don't you have 700 posts to your name?
i am not begging for no whale here i dont care , i magine all these people who get 2000 dollars from their first post are working pretty hard:)
