Is anybody reading articles from new users?
Last week Steemit grows as 2 000 people a day. So the new articles grow also very fast. The chance your content to be seen as a new user without reputation and followers is decreasing dramatically.
The King Is Naked
On my observations trending and hot articles are written only from users with reputation above 45. Already they have followers, who up vote immediately first seconds of publishing, many times without reading even the content. They hope to make money from cu-rating vote, mainly because of the reputation of publisher, not to vote for the content (the timing of your voting is also important for the reward) And they really did.
That’s why the reputation is so important for blogging, while it’s shown to public. It serves to a new user’s vote as a reference in the sea of new titles. They still don’t have people to follow and has no reputation to blogging. Actually new users spend their time in trending and hot articles to create more detailed picture of Steemit. Time is limited for all of us, not only for the whales.
Not only time is limited. Our vote is too. To vote for a new user is too risky and many times wasting the strength of it. So nobody has no motivation to upvote new content of a new user if he/she is not a famous person or someone from bitcoin society or photographer (photos don’t waste too much time to be seen).
Many great creators died before they received recognition from the society they live. They could not sell themselves. For sure I’m not Van Gogh, but what I’ve tried to promote my articles for now?

Transer 0.001 SD to some whale.
To use the services of a secret writer. I’m still not tried, because blogging for me is a personal act.
If the system has no change, it will die. Now Steem grows tremendously, but when people start blogging and understood the problem, they will quickly lose interest. Who want to read the tales of the same people?
I hope the problem will be solved still it’s just β version Steemit. That’s why still here.
it's new social media and I think that the problems will be resolved thanks to everybody in it!
