RE: Why Steemit may fail, probably soon.

Also, lucky you on getting 50-100 votes consistently! That's freaking awesome! That's one hell of a momentum you've got going. Don't let yourself get discouraged now. Geez, I myself haven't even seen that many votes on any of my posts. I've gotten 29 on one once. Didn't make more than about 11 cents on that one either. See what I mean about rhyme & reason? There is none. Just....keep going.
As best I can tell, the strength for those of us having the hardest time pulling in much attention at all is to be positive and consistent. Negativity doesn't seem to make money, so why bother? Besides, it's bad for you. Stay positive and KEEP GOING.

Yeah I know wht you mean man...but that's what make me think it is rigged. The whales only seem to target the same people the only truly kind whale i've PERSONALLY dealt with is pharesism and he's the only reason I fully haven't given up and only 99% given up.

One whale has a thread where he tells ppl he will exclusively only upvote certain ppl etc, it's all sorta fucked. atleast on reddit the people get to decide what's hot and not, now it's just some millionares....

this is just like real lief, you think I come online to feel like part of the 99% 24/7? naw I try to escape my wretched life as a broke middle class peon who will never rise above....

anyway man, don't take all my ramblings serious just trying to vent, I appreciate your attempt to uplift me tho, let's see what happen i'm not feeling it atm tho.

Geez, man. I just looked at your wallet. You outrank me. By a lot. You've got one hell of a start.
It's a big fucking train, man. Huge. Some of us will just naturally have more freight to get up to speed than others, for whatever reason (re: tits). I think I've posted some photo work that is some of my best work, for example. Work that I think wipes the floor with some of the other photos I've seen, but their photos got the votes and the money. Is that fair? Eh...that's subjective. It's not the quality of an image that might get attention, but the subject matter within it. Something about those other photos spoke to the voters over mine. Why? Who knows - you'd have to ask those voters. The point is, you can't predict it. So some of our excitement should probably remain shelved until we see what happens. The fact that we're even able to make money here at all is a fucking miracle of technology. Yunno?
