Great article. I feel the same way on your point. I have a lot of articles that I have written but hesitate to post because they get buried, get no attention and don't feel that it's worth it to post. ALSO I have noticed, from being a major part of @brindleswan and his good content articles that there may be a lot of votes but very FEW VIEWS. Seems peeps are just reading the headline and not reading the articles. What's the point in that? I have made it a point to read the article, then vote. How this can change is the question. Who has the answers?
I do find it interesting how few views my own articles get. I'm pretty sure it doesn't log outside of steemit views either, as so many people I talked to at the conference down here intimately knew my story but weren't on Steemit to show support. So I guarantee many of those views are on devices not logged in.
