Just do your own thing, post, comment and upvote on things you like. Yeah most of the money and the power is with the big whales but as long as you enjoy the community and post stuff you care about I don't see why there's any reason to be negative.

Plenty of people have grown accounts on here without investing anything and it's still early days for this platform. By being one of the early people in any smaller niche on here one could be massively profitable in the future as more and more people come over from other social media.

I guess people just see the big numbers on the trending page and get angry if they can't score big from day one...
