The first months on steemit tends to wake one up. When you realise that there are superb content creators all over the place enjoying low payout and you find that who you know has more value than what you know, you have no choice but to change tactics.
It is always a surprise to find that there a few persons who care about your skills. One who has done his or her homework will seek solutions immediately and the rest will complain.
Steemit is not a gift sharing outfit. Work smart, interaction and you win.
Many come in expecting handouts and charity and complain when the big fish don't fill small hands. The big fish also tend to forget that their comment votes on themselves can feed families for weeks in some places too. There are so many conflicts here similar where the visibility displays what people only suspected before. It is not that her is different to the real world, it is just that it is more easily seen.
