You make some good points arhaynez, and echo what others are frustrated with. Unfortunately, all social media platforms are seemingly 'always' going to be bombarded by just casual users passing time. This is a big problem for quality authors who are getting buried on the lists quickly unless they can get in 'trending'. Another 'fixable' problem for contributors is the inter-mixing of 'all' languages. If you post in your language, you can get buried within minutes by posts from ten different countries. Steemit is 'new' and has a lot of 'fixing' to do...it should become better with time in some respects. Regards,@averageoutsider
Yes, that is true if you are not the 'trending' or 'hot' it's not going to be easy to get noticed here especially since most people don't even pay attention to the content but the rewards, if the post has enough rewards people will be attracted to it because they want a piece of the cake.
This is a mentality that we should change here on Steemit otherwise people who are actually trying to write but fail to get notice will sooner or later fade away .
