Steemit certainly does seem to be for the whales at the moment. I swear whenever I post anything it is a struggle to get it above a few dollars, if it got a little higher and I could control things like, how and when I post, I would be a more solid poster then I currently am. I also find it hard with the lack of engagement., and by that I mean I have a fair few followers now. but be damned if I can get anymore then a handful to enter into a meaningful dialogue about there post or my own. Makes it hard to keep on seeing the value in such a platform. Oh well what can I do but just keep on trying.

Agreed. But we’re still on Beta. I want to remain hopeful that some of these issues will be fixed without altering the core principles.
I’m a creator as well and, as you, I’m struggling to go over a few bucks. But I honestly don’t care.
I would truly hate it if this platform were to suddenly become filled with brands and companies sponsoring content.
I would leave immediately.
true, true. Ioften forget about it being beta still. I guess that gaining ground so slowly just frustrates be some times, maybe I should learn some patience and just focus on content and making a decent effort to connect myself with more people that I enjoy communicating with.
being swamped with brands etc would also grind my gears the wrong way for sure.
So as I mentioned in a previous reply, I would only be targeting a handful of enterprise clients.
IMHO, technically Steemit is already filled with tons of promoted content (through bot voting) lol
Yah, my biggest concern is actually the views per article. It's actually shockingly low for some of the top trending articles (like just a few hundred views, on youtube that's nothing). What's worse, there some posts with tens of thousands of views and hundreds of votes that only amounted to a few dollars because no whales upvoted them...
However, these are all fixable, and it's still very early
