As a creator I get really excited about all the app's being developed that use Steem. (dlive, dtube, utopia, steepshot, etc)

However, then I read articles/comments like this and it really kills my faith in the platform. I know my content is good, yet I find it very difficult to collect consistent rewards. I also have a hard time finding content which I think is deserving of a sufficient reward unless I'm holding a contest. The whole content distillation is great in theory but the trending page is stocked full of sub-par content.

Something's got to give... Neds sitting on $14mil that would be put to better use delegated to deserving members of the community.

I'm not here to kiss asses though. I'm here to create and hope the platform can change other creators lives as it has done mine.
