First off thank you for the post, and I like your style. Also, it's nice to see someone caring about the community.
Most of the comments I have read are positive, and that is great. We all need to believe in this journey. But at the same time, I have concerns. I have commented on others post about them and never got a reply to help me with my dilemmas.
I agree that it's not about the money but that, of course, is an overall reason for us being involved here.
My issues are more with the quality of content and the reward that people are getting for producing bad stuff. I have tried to start my own "Photo Tips for Steemit" and got very little responce. Now I do believe that it is qulity stuff but when I see someone, for instance put up a out of focus photo and make $50 on it, make me really upset. Were I but in the time to write and a helpful tip and make $3.
What it is coming down to is as much as I thought I had an idea how to go about Steemit, it seem to be wrong. It really is not making any sence to me and what to do as a person that wants to amke it work, but has taken a back seat to committing to much of my time when other do less and make more.
Any help here would be great. Thanks.
