The main reason for this is that people work their asses of for a good post and it gets zero attention here on Steemit.
I try to share my content on other platforms for that reason and so far Reddit is doing the trick.
I would say, keep up the hard work, it will pay of eventually.
That’s pretty much it. I know for the crowd I’m aiming For that I’m providibg kick ass content. It’s kinda stagnant. Every few articles or posts I gain like 1 follower. It’s definitely a slooooow grind but I guess if it’s actually genuinely interested folks following me it’s a good thing. Just makes me scratch my head seeing folks post in the main topics and circles I’m posting in...and I mean posting pure drivel and dogshit. No effort whatsoever and they are getting rewarded handsomely. Dems da breaks I guess.
