And you...
You have been here long enough to know not to pick on people. This site is meant for free expression. This is clearly how she wants to express herself. She's right, from you.... this is shameful.
There is no sense arguing your point or taking a stance here. You have genuinely hurt this person, it is clear in the way she responded to you.
She is obviously new and learning the ropes. We should be helpful to newbies, not hurtful. You can't mask hurtful words under the guise of helpful advice. All a person will hear is the hurtful words.
If you are not ashamed of yourself already then I will be ashamed for you because this type of behavior cannot be stood for. Leave her alone.
Ok first of all, I never insulted or abused anybody here! In fact I think she is a really beautiful woman BUT in my opinion I, too, see no/few work/effort put in it. I also never said something about money! how could I , I mean, I don't have any either so this doesn't make any sense! Something like my comment is called normal critizism and not bullying! What you are doing right now is like omalleyo has said: playing the defenseless victim and her white knight....
And I am truly sorry if it hurted that much but as I know criticism hurts.
I don't want to go on arguing with you. This is just my point of view, if you disagree that's fine. You can flag this comment or any other it won't change my opinion....
This one is not an argument just so you know. I just want to explain a couple things :)
Agreeing totally with that dick was definitely very insulting to her.
The part about money she referred to was acting like she is making so much when in fact she just bought votes and has made nothing to speak of here yet.
This is a close personal friend of mine. You have hurt her badly enough that she called me very upset, wondering why you two specifically were being so mean to her. She felt totally ganged up on. She asked me, "Why can't they see that I am new here and still learning this place?" Everyone deals with things differently. It took me a quite a while to even convince her to join steemit. This type of thing is very new to her. Where she is from, this site can really help her and her family out a lot. She is doing here what she likes to do, just as you are. She does't have a lot to say yet, give her time.
She has not made any more money than you in fact she's used the same tactics you have to attempt to... bots.
Keep using bots and you will also start seeing your posts do the same as hers but the payout will also always look much higher than the real profit. I'm sure you've seen this already.
There is no reason to be jealous that she puts what you think is less work into her posts. She spends a lot of time taking those pictures and posting them with the internet she has takes even longer lol. This is her creative side coming out. You can see that clearly in the looks on her face. She loves doing it. Not to mention it is all her, nothing plagiarized, nothing spammy or stolen from somewhere else @originalworks.
I've looked at your posts and frankly they are pretty good. I can tell you spend time on them. However, bashing people here is really not the way to get noticed.
I know a lot about this site I've learned many things the hard way here and networked with tons of people on the platform high and low. It's not about how much work you put into the post. It's about whether you get a following and get people voting on you. That's it. I used to spend over 2 hrs on every post I made, but if you can make a post in 2 minutes that people like, go for it! There is no reason for someone to be upset by that.
The truth is I understand your frustration, when I was new I felt the same way, the game seemed rigged. I saw tons of posts that were complete junk being paid hundreds each and i still do. It was upsetting at first. Well, if you want the truth... It is. The game here is definitely rigged.
Its clear to me that you can tell you have hurt her, and it seems also that you did not mean to, dickalleyo clearly did. If your posts aren't getting noticed how you want them to I could even help you figure out how to get them noticed. Just please refrain from criticizing things that you don't understand.
In the middle of your argument I did see that you said you are truly sorry and I will be sure she looks at that once I can get her back on here again lol. I'm sure it may help her feel better.
I meant what I said about helping. I head up a group dedicated to it in fact. Let me know.
