this is a very good insight about how works the Steemit community and yes I spent a lot of hours making good posts about graphics design and useful tools for the community expecting someone to like it and actually realy read all the content. It's has been a lot of frustration since I started but hey! I'm getting followers and people to make happy! for this you have to keep working to sustain what you have earned because it is not supposed to be easy.

Have fun and do what you like!
