I agree. A lot of stuff isn't being read. If it looks well formed and by certain people it automatically gets upvoted. And for guys like us there is no point in complaining because we have already accepted it and moved on and are trying to build our own tribe and hopefully that includes some whales. If no whales decide my content is worth anything I'm figuring it will take 6 - 12 months of Gulag style blogging nonstop to get to a point where the people around me have enough upvoting power to make each post at least worth $30 - $40. I'm prepared for the long struggle. I have seen this before on YouTube
