I am Not the Best User on Steemit...but

in CCS • 12 hours ago

I’m here to make peace. No clickbait posts, fake giveaways or to change your life. I’m just here as a genuine steemit user. I open this website and just want to read one helpful post. But every time I see someone trying to help me or make me feel emotionally supported I get distracted.

I’ve seen the all big accounts post at 7am -12pm and 6 pm to 7 am (my time). Every single time asking “What’s your favorite productivity hack?” Sir my favorite productivity hack is to close the app. I don’t want to see anyone explain how to make steemit popular or the price of steem rising to the moon in one swoop.

But I appreciate the effort you put into your posts. You have algorithms to please, comments to reply to and content that looks like it was written by a genius (my tax forms look easier). So in order to make you like me, I will be your favorite user. I’m not a real tricky user but I’m a normal user. A vending machine, yes for the time being.

My credentials are simple, I read captions. I’ll never say “First!” unless I really am first and this has happened many times throughout 2022. I still think about it but refrain to accept.

I don’t ask “Can you shout me out?” But if you do that's none of my fault or makes me beneficiary either. I just say thank you and then vanish. It's tiring at times but there is no option.

I like your posts even if the algorithm has shown them to me multiple times. I’m loyal and I’m even rarer! You’ll see the favorites pop up frequently. If you don’t believe me look at the feed of big accounts.

I promise my steemian friends that I save your recipes (that I’ll never cook), workout videos (too old for doing them) and travel guides (can’t afford to go to places I’m not allowed to go to/no visa permission). I’m basically your online fan. I can only watch and read you grow.

Many experts say they produce more genuine, personal and perfect content. I agree! I give the big account engagement but it is polite engagement. I don't do crowd funding, it’s not my game. However it does take you somewhere so I need to learn it and do something similar but my problem is there is no one who will acknowledge it on camera.

I’ll give you a donation and say “This helped your friend (if it did help you). I’ll resteem your post in my group to help you, vote your post and give you a few Steem.

I won’t ask for a giveaway but if there is one, I’ll enter with hope. As if I’ve found a coin on the pavement and bought a lottery ticket.

Next time you post something amazing I won’t just put 🔥🔥🔥. I’ll say “That is so me.” I’m going to steal this idea for my life (with credit obviously). This is class. This is character. In future this would mean, I’m not an opportunist but a big business tycoon.

My content is simple. Be genuine but occasionally post something so relatable people will feel like they’ve been personally attacked in a lovely way. No I’m not changing my style. I know it’s not usual but I have to stay in your community so I need to say, "Yes Boss."

Humour is best when it feels genuine, surprising and relevant. People will share it as it makes them think “That’s me!” My whole personality is made up of little harmless situations with a slightly humorous caption.

To all the big accounts. I promise to be the best user for you. I’ll report bots, not argue with them. Say thank you to creators who explain something complex. I’m not the user that will come into your feed and upvote your posts with a 0 value.

I may not have a blue tick, millions of followers or be able to say aesthetic without sounding like I’m sneezing but I have consistency, curiosity and a mind of my own. I’m not an influencer. I’m not famous. But every platform needs at least one user that will come on and say something not so nice/flattering and then log off before the comments turn into a court case.

And that’s me! A genuine user. Maybe next time I come on and post, I’ll be full of all the tricks! I am a fast learner if nothing else.

But I am the Purest User on Steemit, I hope I'm on the list of your friends!
