RE: Wide-Eyed Hatchling Trying to Survive in a Sea of Sharks
Hey, I've found your content using GINAbot. Are you using it to better engage the people interested in the same objectives? It is very powerful. I recommend everyone use it.
Ignore trending and bot abuse. It doesn't have to affect us. Steemit is a place for voluntary charity, and some rich people decide to donate to certain people, who are furthering the same causes as them. It's their money, so I don't care how they spend it.
I'm not here to make money either, but the little money I am making certainly is nice. I'm definitely not going to turn it down. Aggroed's smartsteem bot returns 20% annually for example for my delegated SP. That's better than some of the peer to peer lending sites I was invested in, so I decided to do the bot here instead.
Is that bad? I don't think it is. As long as the bot is legit and not scamming people, I have no problem with it.
As others have said, you are doing well. The main problem people have here is they come to the platform without the ability to write reasonably well about something that interests a lot of other people. It's not a magical thing in other words.
People need to know how to write well. Check! You do. Then people need to write about things other people find interesting. You are doing that too from what I can tell. Just engage in replies and find friends using GINAbot, and ignore the drama. It's not worth our time, right? :)
Inspiring! Thank you for the supportive words. I am here. I still dig it, and yes you're right... I don't need to use any more energy concerning myself with what's wrong it I just do it the way I feel right.
How do I find GINAbot to check it out?
Here's part of my promising new account reply information:
There's one good bot worth mentioning for new users. It is called GINAbot, and you can use it to keep track of things the makerwannabe site above cannot easily do. For example, GINAbot will tell you when a key phrase is used, when you or someone else is mentioned by account name, or even if someone deletes a comment. The bot is extremely powerful and free. Simply add the following Discord server:
https://discord.gg/x9Empcm
When you connect to it, it will ask you to register and verify your account with a .0001 SBD or STEEM transfer. Then you will get a direct message from the bot with a private link to your configuration page. Go there to setup your options. The entire process takes 5 minutes, and it will be up and running. You can tweak the settings as you go too. I highly recommend people use it for networking purposes.
I have mine set to look for phrases like "residential security" and "private investigator" as two examples. Then I never miss out on content related to those, and it makes going there to engage in those conversations much easier. Without GINAbot, I would never have had the opportunity either! Check it out, and ask if you have any questions.
Super cool. Thanks Finnian!
