You have clearly nailed it in this post,i have been contemplating writing a similar post and boom ....i will now write my post and link to this post!

I see guys come here and want to rake money in 1 month....like WTF and they think Steemit is different from life.
They start complaining right from the start....will refer all newbies here man.

Your content might be brilliant and hailed by all on the free platforms yet here, that means close to zero. You are building from the ground up and even if you bring 100,000 people in from your other platforms, unless you or they buy in, they can't help you too much.

Well said,i see mfs keep telling themselves of how great their content is and i just give them this look below!

This is a completely new world which people have to accept and its decentralised!

You might have dreams of taking this platform by storm but, in all likelihood, your dreams are going to be dashed on the reality of decentralized freedom, non-algorithmed content discovery and levels of technical and human behavior complexity you are unlikely to have ever encountered before.

Let me just go write my post hehehe.
