RE: Your post is worth nothing! Mine neither!
You make some good points but in the end everyone has to start somewhere. I remember prior to joining steemit there was an article I read about the fundamental failure of steemit due mainly to what you are describing. That only a few have control most of the steem and when steem evaluation rises those few will have even more while the rest stands to earn nothing due to inflation.
What made me continue is that if I do not try I will never know what will become of this. Yes there are drawbacks but what about the benefits. There are people who are making a living out of this and they are no where nearly as famous as bernie or haejin.
Steemit has a huge array of ways to earn. Find what you are passionate about and simply earn from that. If at the end I get nothing out of this at least I found some good people who follow me and have the same interests as me. Thanks.
Great comment, thanks for sharing your thoughts! This is mostly how I think too. I don't write mostly for money, of course I like to see my account growing, but I have never cashed out. I like to write to interact with people (some will say that this is a sign of loneliness, and yep, I have two cats!) help the others and gain popularity. This is what makes me happy and continue to write and to engage with others. Again, thank you for coming by. Wish you the best!
