The most disappointing thing is when your idea is somehow buried down and after some time someone comes up with that same idea and literally eats your lunch.
I introduced Humans of Steemit with this post
https://steemit.com/steemit/@samether/humans-of-steemit
But as most posts it got no where. In fact I was trying to get out some other buried posts with it.
Today someone came up with https://steemit.com/humansofsteemit/@anwenbaumeister/introducing-humans-of-steemit-my-new-project-to-bring-personal-stories-to-you-and-to-share-steemit-with-the-rest-of-the-world
and was trending.
It is a very unforgiving place :)
Yeah I feel you on that. It's also hard to see something you made get popular by someone else. I also dislike how short a timeframe there is for payout. I feel I don't have time to credit all the people and often find a great post with little reward and only able to give a few pennies
