This is one of the main problems I see with Steemit. It's centralized and you have to spend money & somehow get in with the whales to make any Steem on your posts. I've posted plenty of good content in the past that I spent time creating, only to get literally no upvotes. It's almost impossible to get any views around here. It's not like Reddit where you can just post something good and actually get noticed. You have to spend hundreds of dollars to promote or you have to pay a big account to resteem your post. Kind of screwed up if you ask me. That's why I don't really even bother posting original content on here- because every single time, it'll get next to no views or upvotes.

Buy Steem Power: Upvote yourself
This is exactly the kind of behaviour we don't want. Many investors rather not create content, they would rather use their SP to help Steem grow, which will eventually increase the price.
There are different mechanisms for all groups to earn, investors can earn from curation, interest, and delegation. Content creators (who have invested very little) should be able to earn by creating popular content. I would not want to see an investor earn more for a crappy post than a dedicated content creator with a great post.
At a rep of 44 I can only assume that you haven’t tried very hard to get noticed.

Yeah, I feel you homie. Sometimes you spend like 1-2 hours writing an article and get 0 upvotes, then others spam their drugwars results and get like 0.50 sbd for it. I think quality content is just a factor in getting successful on steem. But so is socializing and engaging towards others. If you made a few friends who appreciate you as a person, and your content as well then your posts will get some attention and the snowball effect might get started.
