I agree with you.. And that's exactly what I did with my introduceyourself post. I made $5,96 on that.. And I saw people with $1,000-$2,500 posts.. -Talk about being discouraged for a second..
Until I realized, that I've been here before. I'm not used to get cash for things without value and out of reasons I've always worked hard to reach my goals.. So I just thought for myself, why wouldn't I do the same on Steemit?
