Thank you for your post. I am fairly new still and I think people need to be a little more patient. I feel a little bit better reading your post now as I have been some what apprehensive and not as active as I was in the first few months of posting on this platform. I have more bad posts I suppose than good, but to get noticed does seem to take forever. However I have not been posting for even a year yet, and I still see huge potential. I believe I am a lifer and true advocate to the platform and would recommend it to anyone.
We do need to solve the promotion aspect of it. If facebook are a central entity which can control the visibility of posts which people are willing to spend money promoting, then steemit can do the same with it's decentralised network of stakeholders.
Exactly. I belief its not bad if contents are promoted to achieve more results via visibility.
