Last Report as Steem Representative, 07.10.2024
48 comments
Hello, dear readers!
I have to admit, this is a bit unexpected even for me š, but this is my last Steem Representative report. I started Power Down. Steemworld now says I withdraw 30% of my Steem Power, but it will be less. I plan to cancel the Power Down soon, unless some unforeseen circumstances intervene.
Many make Power Down a real tragedy, even apologizing for it. This is a little funny, because everyone has the right to use their resources as they see fit. Doing Power Down at STEEM price of 18 cents is definitely not smart. I certainly did not plan this. I was asked if something terrible happened to me, so I report that I am fine. The only reason I'm withdrawing money is because I haven't been able to handle the household budget. I have not been paid for a very long time, I changed jobs, but the situation has not improved, so far. In short, I'm just patching a hole in the budget š.
Those who do a Power Down lose their right to support from the Steemit team. By the way, I consider it fair. That's why I'm sending 100% of the rewards from this post to @tinochka2, who is currently fighting cancer and going through chemotherapy. This requires large financial costs.
Well, that's all, I made the introduction, satisfied everyone who was interested. Now I can go to the report.
As I'm stepping down as a Steem Representative, this is a great time to take stock of what I've accomplished and what I haven't. In my opinion, the primary task of the Representative is communication with people, explaining how everything is arranged here. The Representative literally has to lead the newcomers and anyone who needs it by the hand. Critically evaluating my activity, I must note that my emphasis has always been shifted towards writing posts. I love to write and I always have ideas for new posts. But I will not hide, I was also motivated to write posts by a financial incentive.
Post regularly - ideally with a diverse range of posts
Thus, I will rate my writing activity at 70%.
Comment as much and as widely as possible - particularly making constructive comments to help people improve their posts and their activities on the platform
And my activity helping other authors at 20%.
Vote regularly - make sure you use all your voting power
Most of my votes go to posts by Ukrainian authors. Since there is a war in our country, I understand better than anyone that they need financial support. Therefore, there are many excellent posts by authors from other countries who deserved my support, but never received it.
However, I want to consider this point in more detail, because most of the time I was a Representative and a curator at the same time. Was I a good curator? I made a really hard effort to distribute votes among authors from different countries, I tried to support beginners, I looked for posts on completely different topics, I looked for posts outside the communities. At the same time, my main requirement was that the post meet certain of my personal quality criteria. But if you evaluate the distribution of my votes among the authors, it could be done better. Thus, I consider myself to have completed the task of supporting the community by 70%.
Delegate wisely (if at all)
I delegated SP only to the curation account of the Ukrainian community to support its development. And I also delegated SP to my wife's account, because she deserves only the best from me š. In short, I fulfilled the requirement for delegations by 100%.
Keep powering up
So far I have fulfilled this requirement. 100%. I hope I will continue to move in this direction, although the circumstances do not inspire optimism.
Make sure your posts are the very best they can be - in content and presentation. Ensure your posts look good, read well and do not have unnecessary spelling or other errors.
š¤ Let's say 60%.
Another activity that I have devoted quite a lot of time to is promoting Steem. I have an Steem accounts on X and Instagram, but I have not been successful with it. I had slightly better success with paid advertising campaigns in Google Ads, but my account was blocked there because I could not document my relationship with Steemit INC. š How should I rate myself? I think 30%.
If I sum up all my activities using a simple arithmetic mean, I get 64%. This is my personal assessment of myself as a Steem Representative.
What's next? I think nothing has changed. I will continue to be the same @o1eh I was, only with less responsibilities š .
