Only ones I know are mainstream ones like medium.

There are groups here, like @steemstem, who made it their business model to reward good content (scientific in this case), but that's of course subject to what content is available.

I'm lucky I found them and it might be largely the reason I'm sticking with this platform, so I can't comment on the frustration that a good content creator who doesn't have the luxury of such good company and feedback as the group provides must feel like. It does seem though that people who persist tend to make it here in the long run.

We had a project called @steemdeepthink, largely modeled after steemstem but for the humanities, but it failed first because of a lack of big voter backing, and second because good humanities authors were few and far between, tended to quit easily, and wanted to be read but not to read.

Having said all that, I scrolled down your blog, and you've been here quite a while and you did well intermittently, from what I saw.

Basically, in order to get money you need to be upvoted by people who have invested a lot of money here, and those people tend (shortsightedly) to vote for each other so they'll get their money's worth and then some, and that's definitely not based on merit. It will take a long time and effort before that kind of thing can be corrected.

I for one hope you'll stick around, even if you find a new home, at least keep part of your efforts invested in this place!
