That wasn't first and most likely not last example of a big payout to the professional blog writer or any other media pro. We all need to accept the fact that steemit is still in beta. At this time founders + big investors are focusing on speading the news about platform to attract popular in media people.
Most of us started to blog on steemit...practice made master! keep up what you do and all will be good in the long run.
"want better... do better" "want more...do more"
Be yourself, love youself, respect others, Steem and let other to Steem!
