I used to think like you. Sadly, this is how Steemit works now. Once, I remember spending over half a year creating original contents and hoping that someone would come by and say hello. Nope. I didn't even get a single comment. Hell, I was ecstatic whenever I see a bot. At least they talk to me. I used to make less than a penny/week. Now, at least with Minnowbooster, I get paid a little bit better and receive more interactions. Hope I'm not off topic with my rant, but most of us are forced to play the game and abandoned our ideals/morals. At least until we're strong enough to fend for ourselves. Do you think the poor can changed things? No. Only the rich and influential can. As the days goes by, it is getting harder and harder for new users to compete and get the exposure they deserved. In a way, I feel like we are far too gone from the original "intent" of Steemit. I'm not sure if this makes any sense as I am tired and weary. I've been up all night playing Fortnite lmfao!
Yes, its not easy to get noticed here.
Everybody has split up into teams and if you arent on one, it is hard to get traction.
It wasnt always like this, i blame delegations and bid bots.
Until you get to 500sp, you cant really afford principles.
Until then do what you have to to get there, and dont feel bad about it.
is there a reason?
Any rewards not voted to you by a member of the community that liked your content is ill gotten.
Rewards are designed to reward 'good' content, not to be farmed 'because they can'.
