There is something I always like about you brother, it is the way you put your words together and convey it in a more simple words. I strongly agree with you on this point you raised, someone might get frustrated by merely looking at the post on trending page, though some are under the influence of bid bot. Just like you have said.

The problem with a lot of new users is the mentality and the orientation they have had that once they get here, money will surely come forgetting that it involves a lot of process and commitment. If we can take off our mind with the rewards whether it pays or not then we will surely have a rethink and desire to do things properly right will surely set in. Talking facebook for instance, there are a lot of user on it without any form of reward attributed to it, it is because people using it accept it as such.

So the need to see steemit as means of getting money through our piece should always be a second thought. Investment is the key, it will bring more people to support us. It give US more respect and in return we are blessed with more money.
