No . More so on the payout . The contents very wildly . Most people struggle with payouts of one or two dollars if that high . the payout on the trending page is what 100 plus dollars . It's unrealistic for the average person to achieve it . There are so many things to include Bot's that are in play to achieve such earnings . The minnows who jump on the bandwagon expecting a piece of the pie of the payout is a farce . They have no idea how the calculation of voting / payout is done or they would have never wasted their time or got their feeling hurt with an unrealistic expectation


thanks for explaining! it's so true and tempting to be blinded by the top earning posts, whereas almost everyone else (even the ones who create consistently amazing posts) have a hard time earning. Maybe that's how Steemit helps newbies to find their enthusiasm and share the message...(?)

@sams-world Find your enthusiasm in the foundation that you build and the people you engage with.
