Yeah keep posting. It's tough. I don't think that it's only good writers being upvoted all the time, just consistent writers and people who've been here from the beginning.
I think once the spammers realize they can't really make much money this way, they may stop. It takes a bit more effort now.
What about depositing some btc into Steem Power so that your initial post starts off with a higher vote value, maybe it would make it more noticeable? I'm not sure
I am only here since a week, so not from the beginning.
It will cost a lot of BTC to have sufficient Steem Power to get noticed isn't it? People with 500K Steem Power only make you earn 2$ per upvote, so you need 250BTC to upvote for 2$..
