@clement Unless the whales around here upvote, new comers will find it harder to get the desired payouts. I've been here for 2 days and figuring out how the system works before sharing my posts here! I value my time and content as much as anyone else. Your points are valid too! But, just as any other online community, this will take time to grow. We must have spent several hours on useless networks as FB and other forums everyday. Spending a few hours, learning and earning something along the way out of Steemit isn't a bad proposition, and ofcourse nothing is guaranteed! Don't make it your job just yet. Underdogs have to endure! Im upvoting you (tho it may not yield you substantial income) because I don't want you to give up just yet! For when I start posting this will remind me not to give up myself! :)
