@berniesanders, I give it to you for your courage to stand up and call spade, a spade. Not everyone, everyday comes out like this.
You truly showed the ugly belly of steemit and that's one such story. I am sure there are many more self voting self centred tribes out there draining quite a lot from the reward pool. And here we spend hours and hours, racking our brain, straining our scarce resources to create some quality / valuable post in the hope of getting some attention and upvotes that never seen to come anyway. It's really frustrating to minnows like us, as we seem to do everything right, but nothing works out to be right in the end when we see the overall outcome.
I have seen many utterly meaningless and valueless blabber (those are surely not any meaning full blogs anyway) that garner massive payouts and that is a real bummer for a lot of really hardworking minnows here.
I had recently commented on a post by stellabelle that "the quality of your blog never matters here." What matters is the size of SP and some closely knit friends circle who help each other in this steemit business. We are just the tissue paper here who do all the hard work for nothing.
Anyway life has been such everywhere. Steemit is no different.
