It’s with great concern that newbies struggle a lot on this community. The kingpins keep floating on thousand upvotes while newbies struggle to get an upvote. It is a pity that when a new member posts his or her first post, the person ends up getting more than welcome notes with many soliciting upvotes and dragging them to follow them. If this is the support this new members get, then the community becomes hostile rather than the best social media that many praise out there. Let’s not a lie to each other, 90% or rather all subscribers to this site come to earn something from their effort. But if the veterans in this community exploit the new ones and make their lives miserable, then you are not supposing this community to grow. I will be happy to see myself with over 70 reputation and earning something from my effort. But I will be discouraged when I post good and quality posts and what many do is ignoring the content or just comment with replies that really show that the person did not read my post but just wanted to share my peanut earning.
Please let’s support the newbies. Just read the comments..You will agree with me users never read contents
I agree many people, me included come here initially to make profit. Most of those folks, unless a whale, will get discouraged and leave. Others will try to figure out how the platform could work for them. Many of them realize, like most things in life, this is not a get rich scheme. If you want STEEMIT to work for you, then you must be willing to put in the work and the time.
What has been working for me is trying to make real connections. Reading posts and contributing in a meaningful and relevant way.
STEEMIT is forcing me to get out of my comfort zone and improve my writing. Something I gave up on a long time ago.
Thank you for sharing this engaging post!
I am grateful.

Well this is a sad state of affairs. Just today I was discussing similar concerns over how Steemit works, in this post: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@abishai/a-vision-for-philosophy-and-religion-and-steemit-overall
I didn't write the post, btw!
People should come together and try to figure out solutions on how Steemit might be changed to work better for everyone.
Upvoted!
