I'm not going to say you don't have valid points. However, it sounds a lot like complaining and Complainers never get anywhere...winners find a way and get to work. you can do it :)

Well, I am making it work. But I would say I am part of the 1% of people who are crazy enough to keep at it. 99% of the rest will not do that. I suppose it depends on how big of a platform we all want to make Steem/it.
Complaining sounds rather negative, I'd rather label it as 'pointing out flaws'. Besides, I'm not trying to get anyone to follow me by commenting here anyway. I stopped really caring all too much about maximizing my profits and walking on hot coals, I'd rather stay real :)
People who don't understand it... I kind of want to challenge big whales who got in Steemit last year, to go and make a new fresh account today and, without using any of your old contacts, try to see how the experience for new users is currently. You yourself are only a month older than me, so I don't consider you to be one of the really old timers. Yet, I did notice that right when I got in, price-per-post dropped significantly. I looked quickly at your blogposts, and did see a bunch of your earlier posts (one about naps and one about guitars) netting 70$ of even past 100$. I would be really amazed to see a relatively new account today performing this same feat. My point being: it is now exponentially harder to get anywhere on Steemit than last month, and last month it was exponentially harder than the month before. If this keeps up, there will eventually be no incentive for new users to join this platform after a while. I'm glad I got on last month, because if I got on later with even bigger challenges/lower rewards... I'm not sure I'd bother.
I hate that right now, success on this platform greatly depends on the charity of whales, basically.
Call it what you like, I was telling you what it sounded like. Like I said, not saying you don't have valid points, but if you keep focusing on these issues, you make it harder on yourself. What you focus on is what you get. Change your focus = change your outcome. Just tryin to help
