Why is it so hard to get up votes on posts this days? Steem is no more encouraging. I think the terms and conditions are no more useful. Whales aren't helping the community, they rather prefer to sell their vote, Then why is this a community when original contents are not being up voted. Why won't people copy content and post? A lot of creative posts are out there but the author are discouraged. Their contents are not being up voted and they are not recognized. Whales keep upvoting whales. Whales keep selling their votes. I don't think the SteemIt Community is still for the purpose because I read the terms and conditions and everything happening right here is a different thing. I will like to plead with the community especially the ones with good voting power, Kindly Let's build the Steem Community and help the Plankton to grow. Don't forget that whosoever you help today will surely payback sooner or later....
Help SOMEONE GROW AND SEE IF THEY WONT PAYBACK.....
Steem For One, Steem For All.
I think the ratio of the whales and plankton+minnow is not that equal. Yes I agree that some whales tend to sell their votes, some posts was being undervalued and was not being appreciated. But there are still whales that keeps on helping the community.
In my opinion whales was not obliged to help (but I admit that I would be very helpful if a whale will help me), its their account and they can do whatever they want.
Ocra's can also help, Dolphins are also out there, lets not depend only on the whales.
@surpassinggoogle and @jerrybanfield are some of the users that I see helping the community. They are not whales but they really are a great contributor to the platform.
There are also developers who help the community, @busy @utopian-io are some of them
Contributing to the community is not all about upvoting
Thnks for the comment I really learnt from this. And I understand the fact that Whales are not meant to work for the plankton/minnows. But I think its will be very nice if they put more contributions to the community. @jerrybanfield, @surpassinggoogle, @good-karma @busy.org, and some other users in the category are good citizens of this community and if we can have more of them I think this will help motivate people to write good contents. The @cheetah, @steemcleaners is always there to see if you did plagiarism automatically but you will never see any original work bot that will upvote you or commend you for the good job done.
Indeed, all we can do is grow our accounts and help these people 😊
Yeah true talk. I just need steem power delegations.
You can go to @minnowbooster, that's the site where I get some delegated SP
I very much agree with you... I am a victim of being discouraged....but for the love of writing I won't give up
Please don;t be discouraged. Never feel bad for the upvotes that are not coming in in mass now.
Most whales you see on Steemit had similar stories and near frustration experiences to tell when they started too.
Keep doing your good work and in no time your efforts will be noticed and appreciated with upvotes, kind words, and resteemed.
Yeah thanks bro. I'm motivated by your speech. Its just that it kind of getting out of control that these vote buying lol.. Well we all gonna make it on here too
Hey, nice post.

It's a nice write-up.Please all whales that is reading this post try and encourage us, build this platform nicely, it when we have sbd that when can have what to give out for upvote, what we don't have we can not give
