it also rewards those able to develop a large following. If you're here for the money tooooo bad for you. How big a waste of time is Facebook & twitter & most other social media- IT IS ALL A WASTE OF TIME for Most People- Steemit included.

I have noticed users who joined after me, build up a large following make a few hundred a month.

I make make next to zero. But then again I'm not here for money or followers or friends- I just find it therapeutic to post my written rants.
