It takes some time to get the hang of it on SteemIt, but it isn't impossible. After making some stupid mistakes, my reputation score (the number next to your username) went all the way down to 11. I did a whole lot of reading, and worked my ass off, and only a couple of weeks later, I'm at 48.
Getting something out of SteemIt takes time, dedication and hard work. If you think you can't or are not willing to put that in, then you can leave. But it doesn't have anything to do with sucking at it.
