Why is society so cliqueish? I have never been one of those people who sticks with a certain group and avoids everyone else. I embrace everyone equally. In school I was a cheerleader, and my friends were geeks, jocks, goths and everything else. At work, none of us are alike. But we get along so well. I love diversity. But it never fails that where ever you turn, there’s a big wall up blocking people from progressing. Whether it’s a work or at school or on World of Warcraft. Now, I get to deal with the same shit on Entrecard.
If you don’t know about Entrecard, then most of this, if not all of it, will make no sense.
I drop 300 cards consecutively. Every damn day. And if I don’t do 300, I’m dropping close to that. How many do I get back? 90! What the hell is that? And the people in the top 3-4, they have to be getting 200+ drops a day. It’s such bullshit. The top three get rewarded, and not just temporarily, but on daily basis over and over. Most people go and just hit the top sites in certain categories which leads to the top three getting consistent drops and it’s those drops that determine your ad cost and placement. You benefit in the smallest portion from dropping your card. It really doesn’t even play into the equation. The system is faulty and needs fixing. I do my part and get what in return? A pile of stinky poo, and waste of valuable time I could have spent yelling at Paula Abdul for making no sense on American Idol.
Needless to say, I’m pissed. I guess in order to progress there, I need to pull some money out of my rotund behind and BUY some credits on Ebay and then wait until one or two of the people on the top has an available spot for 8 million credits and buy ad space from them. Yeah, that makes sense. I have to pay my way to success. And why do I have to pay? Because I get credits from DROPS (which I barely get any of) which then allow me to purchase ad space, which then helps boost my ad cost and placement. There is no guarantee who I drop on will drop back - obviously! So, I have no control over anything. My hard work means poopycah.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Entrecard. Because of it I have met some amazing people who I doubt I would have gotten to known otherwise. Many of those people I hope to have lifelong friendships with. Plus, it’s increased traffic to my site. A little bit.
Anyway, THANK YOU to those who actually reciprocate a drop. You all rock. The rest of you suck.
