Why should articles that come from the heart be ignored? While reading the difference is to realise very clear!
Haha, well, you mentioned the reasons yourself. No old, experienced hand goes the "usual" way to search for good articles anymore...
I think it's been almost four years since I barricaded myself in "my" community because I couldn't stand the bullshit and fraud around me anymore. Small and different projects have been added every now and then (especially developed with "real" friends I've found (whom discovery requires just as much time and patience, but above all, genuine interest)), but by and large, it's stayed the same: I'm careful not to come into contact with "global" Steem - it only frustrates and depresses.
But if you surround yourself with the right people, Steemit can still be fun! There's just one path you should not take: "Follow The Money!"
By doing this, you are selling yourself and your soul and are no longer the authentic gem that you are now!
It's a lesson learned - just part of the learning curve here on Steem. I bet every one of us has tasted the garbage at some point in our journey 😄Steemit's default feed is definitely a big turn-off.
It seems like the majority are just here to produce content for the sake of producing content. Unfortunately, the masses love it. They’re mostly the successful ones. Well, sellouts attract sellouts...
I think any sort of substantive value isn’t easy to come by. Meaningful connections aren’t created overnight. So, yes - patience and time... and common sense?
I still find it fun, though. Although, just a few days ago, it nearly wasn’t!
Well, that would be too easy. I’m probably a masochist because I prefer slow-burn progress. To fare hard in this rigged system and still push through feels much more rewarding to me 🙂

I think I wrote an entire, astonished article about it just three weeks after it appeared on this platform. Surprised? No, because after just a few days, nothing surprised me anymore – I recognized the disaster of greed and power struggles pretty quickly and was simply disgusted.
Instead of leaving immediately, I invested. This was in the megalomaniacal belief that I would make everything better. After all, blockchain had potential.
Haha... We say "Hope dies last." But that's already died, all that's left is habit.
And fun, of course. Fun with a handful, maybe even a dozen... ;-)
And that was one of the smaller crises that we experience here from time to time...
You are a knight... ;-)

I tried searching for the article but ended up binge-reading posts about sheep - and you even named them all! ;-D I wonder how your new babies are doing...
Nein. Hope is very much alive, juggling both word games and mind games at the same time! Fun is merely the fuel - but perhaps, for this generation, fun has become the new hope. I don’t know; this could just be another megalomaniacal belief.

Yes!!! And that is their (and my) great luck.
You know, every now and then (rarely) I like to eat a good piece of lamb chop. But I definitely can't have Manni, not Balboa, not Muck, not Elton... on my plate... 🥰
They are also not that easy to find. They are seven years old, I was only active on the Steem for six weeks.
Although you can actually find anything with this tool:

What @the-gorilla has already advised you to do is to be curious right from the start and to maintain this curiosity. I was also completely new and didn't know anyone on the platform at first. I didn't imagine that I was a great author and didn't immediately start blurting out what I could. I observed. And asked. Above all, I questioned.
To be honest, these four articles were ‘my breakthrough’. It was a mixture of ‘cheekiness’ (how dare a newbie...?) and really good copywriting like research. I got quite a few users on their toes with them. Of course, it didn't change their behaviour, but I was noticed and I actually had a bit more influence because of what I said.
Hey, the articles are very long. And they're in German in my own style (auto-translators don't always get on so well with that). I name users who are no longer here (or who have changed a lot, like steemcleaners). But if you really want to (after all, the problems are EXACTLY the same, just a bit more, since you couldn't write content with AI back then...):

There's a traditional dish in Scandinavian cuisine that you might like called lammskav (thin-sliced lamb meat sautéed with onions, mushrooms, and cream) but I remember you’re not a fan of pure lamb meat. :-))
Glad to hear the honorable mentions were spared, especially Elton, who clearly has more sex appeal than I do.
This is very helpful. Much better. 👍
I sneak around in the comment sections sometimes. Always more interesting than I expect. There's so much that I wanted to say but I had to give it time because maybe the problem is me.
So, it has taken me this long to respond. I read all 4 articles and their comments - it's surprising that you could learn a lot more about the author than the post.
Like you said, the problems are exactly the same and you pretty much covered everything. It's good thing you shared it - I'd probably have ended up blurting out the same stuff if you hadn't.
Posting for the sake of posting - posting once or twice a day can help one become better at writing but it also encourages mediocre content. So, what to do... reading posts from the same user everyday tends to be boring. I think posting once or twice a week is acceptable. It keeps you within the threshold of consistency without overwhelming your audience.
yes, but what can I do? I still like it, I learn bits of german words every now and then. Once I'm done with japanese, I'll probably consider german next. Probably (it's very difficult) :-))
99% der Steemcuratorjünger schreiben nur für das zu erwartende Vote von S01 oder 02 bis Xy er will es ja auch so , gut oder schlecht , ein Post sollte ehrlich sein !
Ich sollte nicht hier sein tja das dauert wohl noch ein paar Tage
Die Disziplin braucht wohl noch ein paar Tage bis der Automatismus abgestellt ist

Ja, so ist es. Das wissen wir und hatten dieses Thema schon öfter. Dann dürfen wir uns doch einfach mal drüber freuen, wenn ein (relativ neuer) User total anders ist als die neue Generation, oder?! Hey, haste genau geguggt? Er benutzt nicht einmal Club-Tags... ;-)
Wieso? Wolltest du gehen? Oder der übliche Frühjahrs-/Sommerstress?
Würde hier aber ohnehin nicht hinpassen.
Denn hier sollst du schon sein. Immerhin bist du meinem Resteem eines meiner Meinung nach ambitionierten Steemians gefolgt... :-))
