Darn straight, we minnows are getting KILLED out there. The only option is to pay real $$$ for steems, which is now fine due to price drop, lolz. But I think we can all agree that the main post graphic is backwards and the blahs are normally coming for the chick - HA !!!ducks!!!

Yep . totally agreed mate. We minnow are just getting squeezed here like a fish. For a post, a lot of hard work is needed alongwith proper marketing, otherwise you know what would we get on our posts.
How do I know if I am a minnow that is getting squeezed or not? I am still trying to figure out what all this stuff means. :)
take for instance my mom joke thread here: https://steemit.com/comedy/@i-am-zol/urmom-joke-thread
It fell off the front page in THREE SECONDS. Never to be seen again unless I pay actual money. This system is a little skewed.
Yeah, That also happened to me many times over. My posts generally remains on 'new' page for a minute and then it vanishes. I had to go for marketing my stuff after getting tired.
Isn't the marketing more about building your network (and/or community, however you choose to see it)? I was aghast when I joined and saw the new posts page - how on earth was I going to wade through that to find any posts of value to me? But then I took more of the same approach I would take to going in a pub - I said hello to someone I knew, had a look at who was joining in the conversation in his posts, followed a couple of them and where I had something to say, joining the conversation on their posts. Only been here three days, so I don't know how it's going to pan out, but I would guess some will become a core part of the network, some more peripheral and some (probably the vast majority) will come and go. I think the received wisdom is a ratio of 1:9:99.
Funny, cause your Mom said something similar to me actually ;)
HAR! I was on a trip or would have responded sooner.
