^Source I've written too many drafts that I haven't had published. Probably these are one of those days that my mind is just totally blank. I can't even think of what to post first, or what should I do. How about write about why can't I write about something? Just perfect. Something just came out of my mind and would love to ask other people's opinion on this: Should it really be deemed necessary to keep *all* of your posts on the best quality? I mean, to get attention on this platform and have a higher probability of earning more money. One reason I've always wanted to post things that are *of the best quality* is to find success in here. But I just got one of the best **mindblowing** fact today - stop chasing for rewards. Just do what you love. If you love writing, just keep doing so. Steemit wasn't really meant to be a source of income; as what I've understood. It's a substitute on those centralized social media platforms and that's it. The rewards are just the result of what it was really meant for. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT2TUpehn4oaq9144xC7wZ2KFa9e6gJVm6uwWJHa4goET/twitter-292994_640.jpg
^Source If you think of it this way, then mass adoption would be closer than it would be. Everybody's not a decent writer. If Steemit is meant to be the *Facebook alternative*, then it should be advertised to be as one. Most of the advertisers who go outside always say *"Come here, your post and you'll be rewarded"*, of course a lot of people would come. But would they stay? There's more to Steemit than rewards. I've been here for more than half a year and I've met really cool people. I've joined a lot of communities, maybe I don't talk that much in them, but I really see the fun. We should advertise this as a *decentralized social media platform* and another way to meet people, rather than as a source of income. *Come for the rewards, stay for the community.* Classes just started today. Even on the long preparations that I did, I am still not ready enough. I guess the busy days are back. Making PowerPoint presentations, lecture notes and all of the documents that are needed to be filed; back to the reality that I still am unstable enough not to leave my job. Do I hate it? No. I just want to be stable enough to have lesser workloads, yet spend time on a greater love that I found - Crypto and of course, Steemit. And yes, I didn't even proofread this one to make my point.
