Back in 2017, I could not find a job to save my life. I wanted to work towards making YouTube a job. At the time, they updated their monetization requirements to 10K. I was still getting money from an older channel. The channel I currently used at the time was somehow grandfathered and I got money from YT premium users. I heard of Steemit on a site calling Ong. social when a guy made a video about YouTube alternatives he used. I joined and my account was accepted after 24 hours. I thought if I was able to cash out every now and then on Steemit, it’s better than no money at all. At the time I was not getting disability and was unemployed.
This post is from my WordPress blog. I am going to share some highlights and add some points so you'll don't think I am coping content.
I started out earning good money on my posts. It decreased over time. Not sure if I said something that made them leave or not. I saw it as a great way to share my YouTube content.
The post payout was so low, it would take me 3 months to get a dollar. The payout will be .03. You bet it would take forever only getting pennies.
In 2018, I was subject to downvote abuse. Every time I posted, I’d get loads of downvotes immediately when the post went live. I had no idea what I did wrong. No one would tell me so I can fix the problem if that is the case.
If I am doing/saying something wrong, I'd like to know so I can stop.
Then in 2019, this guy bullied me because I make money on Steemit. This guy thinks I’m so horrible because I make money on Steem when that is why the site exists. I’m a bad person for making steemit ‘my income stream’ but not the whales (aka the bigger users) who are probably rich because of Steemit? Makes sense. NOT.
Why was this guy so angry at me for doing what everyone else is doing on the site. Little did he know that was the only way I could make money due to my failed attempts at finding employment.
Then another guy bullied me because I didn’t understand what witnesses do on the platform. I wish I would have ignored him if I would have known his intentions. This is why I choose to ignore if someone asks me something. They catch on that I am having trouble learning and I get insulted.
People took me out of context. Throwing in what they wanted to see to satisfy them. I got fed up with it.
I wrote this blog post back in 2019. 2018-2019 is when I had these issues.
I hated pouring my soul into my posts only for it to hardly get anything.

I didn't want to post word for word on my blog to avoid issues with content theft.
Steam cleaners got on my case in 2019 on Steemit although I don't know what I did to get them on my case.
