RE: Distorted Wisdom - A sure approach to burning out

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

What is shit posting? Heres my definition.

Creating content that required little to no effort. (And believe me.. Some people make posts out of the memes and nonsense we write in Helpie discord) without a single care whether anyone will find that interesting even in the slightest.

Now consider my Croatia celebration post.
Honestly... No one cares much. Football even i dont watch. Who won in a ball game.
But i made 2 videos. (First time i actually spoken in a video on steemit. Haha. I dont know how everybody missed that😁)
Posted live photos. Shitty ones and a bit better ones..
But i wanted to show effort. I trailed the live stream for 5 hours. Its not the best post in the world or my best post. But i tried.
Now consider the top trending post of the colloseum in Rome photo. With 700 USD..
Effort. Its always the effort that counts. It doesnt have to be on the quality level of the asian girl with travel post photos that kills it every time.. But it needs to show effort.

Those that you mentioned dont really "work hard"... Making 5-10 posts a day isnt working hard. Working hard is making 300 word meaningful comments on posts.. Writing posts with meaning. Networking. Creating something that will make the people talk.

Thought. Effort. Understanding your audience. Skill. Thats what creates value...

Brilliantly said Silent... that's precisely it!

with the preface that sometimes the mind screams to make a shit post among whatever else has been given. sometimes we need to stuff our face with junk food. as long as it isnt a constant stream we shouldnt worry about the overall diet.

ahhh. yes.. the diet. You will get away with a few posts like that. People will understand and it even might make them interested in you more if you time it right and go honestly into it.. I made "2 shit posts"in my time here (those i consider "crap posts" Is there a nicer word for that? :D )... One was a Meme i made for a meme contest 3 months ago and the other was the prediction for Blocktrades world cup i failed to read the rules for.

The pressure you have when large stake holders are upvoting you and you want to just vent and be "human" is overwhelming. But you have to have that junk food from time to time. :D
