Sorry if you feel that my post was whining.

I wasn't talking about your post. I was talking about a general mind-set.

I don't agree that visibility is good.

I didn't say that. I only said that it doesn't come for free.
Everybody who wants a piece from the cookie as you named it, should do something to earn it.

In the past I have done lots of video tutorials and even given personal trainings to new users on steemit. Some of them are really on fire and want to learn, others don't. The first group is the one that's going to succeed here.

Don't take everything personally btw :-)
