I wasn't trying to imply that you specifically were jealous, I was saying that I and many others have had those feelings in relation to what we are discussing here. Many "decentralized" platforms do have a hierarchy, you are correct, however some are in fact TRULY decentralized. You have to find the ones that align most with what you believe in and will likely be successful. I can see Steemit as a hobby for some, and a strait up career for others. Its all what you make of it and how much effort you want to put into promoting yourself and your projects on this platform. It also depends on how much "free time" your lifestyle delegates you to post here frequently.

Also, if you are having trouble getting truly quality content noticed, reach out to @adamkokesh. He is always willing to help support the progression and growth of minnows, he has said so many times in his posts. Especially if your posts are of positive benefit to the Earth and/or mankind, or support the freedom movement in any way. He helped promote my #introduceyourself post and I did not even ask him to. Blessings my friend.
