This is one of the main problems I see with Steemit. It's centralized and you have to spend money & somehow get in with the whales to make any Steem on your posts. I've posted plenty of good content in the past that I spent time creating, only to get literally no upvotes. It's almost impossible to get any views around here. It's not like Reddit where you can just post something good and actually get noticed. You have to spend hundreds of dollars to promote or you have to pay a big account to resteem your post. Kind of screwed up if you ask me. That's why I don't really even bother posting original content on here- because every single time, it'll get next to no views or upvotes.
