Hoe wat waar?

#qa Goed, ik begrijp het niet goed maar ik doe een poging.

Voor mij (en wellicht ook anderen) is het moeilijk het tempo van Yoors bij te houden. Ook met m'n ADD en doordat ik door verschillende omstandigheden nog vrij weinig actief ben hier. Mijn vraag is eigenlijk moeilijk in één zin samen te vatten maar eigenlijk is de eerste die me te binnen schiet deze:

Kan het allemaal wat minder snel en iets eenvoudiger?

Waar ik tegenaan loop: Het kan toch niet zo zijn dat wanneer je een aantal weken minder actief bent, je zover achter komt te lopen dat je er niet meer uitkomt? Vele, vele (mini)challenges zie ik voorbij komen, er zijn boosters en ik zie dat sommige posts van mij opeens een beloning bevatten. Als ik aan zo'n challenge meedoe die meerdere dagen loopt, moet ik dan ook meedoen in de pool voor meerdere dagen? Kun je zelf ergens een beloning opzetten? Maar dan kun je toch elke pool winnen? Er is voor mij heel veel onduidelijk, er loopt veel door elkaar en ik zie door de bomen het bos niet meer.

Dit is verder niet kwaad bedoeld, enkel geef ik aan waar ik persoonlijk tegenaan loop. Helaas is deze 'disclaimer' nodig omdat tegenwoordig alles van mij gemodereerd moet worden kennelijk. Wanneer een post aan de richtlijnen voldoet, lijkt me dat niet nodig.
Kritiek mag ook toch? Zeker als het als doel heeft om Yoors (nog) beter te maken.

Show moreI think most of us have, at one time or another, felt a little overwhelmed by the quickening pace and the many changes going on in the platform. I certainly wouldn't want to deny what you feel, not only because I have at times shared the same confusion but also because what one feels is what one feels and it is valid in itself. But if I can offer a few words meant as an encouragement and, hopefully, as a bit of help, then I would say that maybe we need to try to think of the initial Yoors and the current Yoors as two things as different as a village and a city. Trying to get to know a large city in the same way one would a village can only result in exhaustion. So a possible course of action, I think, is to decide what neighbourhoods feel the most at home for us and start walking the streets there and enjoying the view. This means zooming in on the topics we like most and exploring those. If one day we feeling like taking part in a challenge or discovering something new, then great. But if not, then we should tell ourselves that it's okay to let them go, without fear of missing out. Perhaps we can hang out a little less in the "what's new" page and look more at individual hashtags with topics that interest us. Perhaps we can trim down our "following" list. And we can seek to post and read mostly about the topics that we really care about and turn a blind eye to the rest when we feel drained. I really do think perspective will help in this. One would never try to take in ALL of Facebook or Instagram or Medium or anything like that. No one with even think that would be possible. But for the older members of Yoors, I can understand that they are still trying to keep up with the platform in the way they initially learned to use it. So perhaps thinking of it as a new platform, one that is way bigger and more complex than the old one, could help a little bit. And, when needed, take a break too. 🙂

The initial Yoors, it was easier, we could keep up and yes, maybe we are still trying to do so. But that becomes exhausting. On the other hand, i have the feeling of letting people down if i don't respond on their posts. I like your comparising of the city and the village and your other thoughts. It is really helpful, thank you!

I understand, I run into similar things, the day before yesterday or so wrote a blog about.
I go my own way and cook my pot my way, and otherwise, if the kitchen gets too hot it's not my place (anymore) apparently.

@Albert van den Berg Large equal! Just when you're used to something, the weather changes. And now that we're heading for summer, I honestly don't have the time and desire to dig into it all....

recognizable. What you might miss most: explanation and documentation. Perhaps the main menu should be provided with such a button with explanations

I fully understand you and you say it in a clear and logical way. There are also posts from 1 year or more ago and because of the many assignments I neglect my own writing and ideas. I'll let it all settle down and come up with some questions I don't know the answer to.. But we'll make it together!👌❤️

If you haven't had time for 1 day, you are already mega behind. There are now also suddenly posts between 1 year or more ago. It is currently a bit searching yes.

@marijke Yeah, that anyway. But I really don't understand it anymore.. That can be learned again, but I would like to be able to participate without constantly delving into it.. I simply don't have that time...

Ik heb wat met de promoties geëxperimenteerd, maar krijg dan tientallen reacties, een overvolle inbox, maar weinig 'hartjes' waardoor het eigenlijk verlieslatend is voor de maker van de blog : 'betalen' om in de pool mee te doen én 'betalen' om je post te promoten , maar weinig hartjes krijgen.

@enigma Dat is ook wel zo. Af en toe komt er weer zo'n 'hectische' periode, zo nu ook weer. Herkenbaar wat je zegt; een volle inbox en weinig hartjes.

Sorry for who I'm short. But sometimes you can't see the forest because of the trees. I've decided to do my thing for myself. Little experimentation. Which is also fun. I'm glad Yoors is here in this frantic bizarre time. That's what I wanted to say.. Have a lot of distractions.😍

sure I think he should be critical, and not just walking behind the mob.
To be honest is, “I think”.

@Ellie Brokking alias Hartje Thankyou! Criticism is unfortunately not always appreciated by everyone. But I'm not a herd animal, then they have to me a wrong one, haha! 😉

I totally agree with you, too, sometimes I'm gone and when I come back I run into the same. Right now, I'm just doing something, this week I'm filling in a totally different hashtac, I'm in the wrong pool. I promote and see money going off, but where 😂🤣😂😅 of the week I stood at 7.70 now at 0.65.
So you're really not the only one, I guess..

@Ellie Brokking alias Hartje Yeah, annoying is that. Lately I often do not receive the boosters. You've been a bit down in terms of credit, it's not that bad here yet, but there's nothing to it actually... 😂

I have tried that too, but indeed yields a crowded inbox, which is sometimes hard to dig through. You do get new and often nice reactions and that is good of course. Yoors has grown very hard and I think keeps growing and sometimes it's hard to follow. I'm just trying everything and you'll find out if it suits you.. For now I noticed, for example, that I am not going to promote anymore, because I will lose the overview and that is not the intention. Will be up to me too, because I'm struggling with the same problem as you 😉 #ADD I would like to respond to everything, but sometimes I'm so busy with the inbox that I don't have time to read new posts. I can't spend all day with Yoors because I have to work and have a private life hahaha

Dat klopt zeker, sommige dingen gaan snel en veranderen ook. Niet alles is een verbetering want net wat je zegt, wel veel reacties maar dan geen hartjes. Dus hopelijk verandert dat wel.

Sometimes I have to pause...Yoors is really growing…and going through some growing pains, that’s only natural, I guess. At the end of the day, the most important is to keep your own pace and your critical thinking about how you should post and read and comment. And enjoy the ride 😉 Last but not least, nice to see you back to posting 

Show moreYou are right, everything is going to fast, we keep staying behind if we leave things even one single day. Yoors is huge! And when things are that big, something is always needing to be repaired, new adjustments have to be made any moment. And, of course, being people the huge caldron people really are, a good thing for one person, is not necessarily a good thing for the other. That´s why things are always changing. Henkjan is trying all the time new approaches. And if he´s trying, we can´t blame him for that. The only thing we can do his add our contribution here and there. Everyone has an opinion, normally. Then it´s up for him to accept the opinion, or not. We have already done our part.

But: you can keep yoorsen like you always did. Not attracting the challenges and promotions. When my posts are promoted this gives a lot of extra comments, I have mixed feelings (to express me nicely), but there is also a solution for that, I read in the comments. I would love it if there was a regular post from the team working on, like before, which makes it clearer.
But: just do your thing as always, then you keep the most overview, I think 😘
