Yeah, minnows voices ingores everywhere, in their posts and in the voiting too, it's very hard stay long here, when you feel that people don't "see" you in all directions.

Went to see your posts and you seem to have made about 20 dollars worth of steem out of blogging, by no means is that much but how much have you gotten out of other social medias? I've been posting to Reddit and I never got anything out of there, here I might get some, but you were happy to post to other platforms for free before, why it is a problem now?
Also for example on reddit, your post could have hard time getting visibility also as it needs upvotes just the same as here. So why would people post elsewhere where they get nothing but still have hard time getting visibility rather than here where you might get something(small/big rewards) while still having to work for visibility? If steemit continues to grow as an platform there will be more people voting, people with different tastes and backgrounds, and that means more possibilities for content creators to earn, but making steemit your livehood will be hard just like in any place else - Steemit is no different in that regard.

maybe my previous comment looks like hate post :
sorry for my english, i agree with @fingolfin it's important to give beginners feeling that they are part of this platform. Even will be enough something symbolic.
I didn't see it as an hate post and I hope you didn't see any hostile attitude in my post either as I intended none to be there. What symbolic things come to your mind?
"So why would people post elsewhere where they get nothing "
...It's not everyone's goal to have mass visibility and become the next internet superstar. The tools I've listed above are just a few of the reasons why Steemit users keep going back to Facebook even though they get no money for it.
Some of these will be implemented in Steemit for sure, others can be built using steem blockchain but using other sites. But good points and Steemit doesn't have to cater for everyone or try to even.
