The thing is, it's actually MUCH easier to get noticed here on Steem right now than anywhere else I know of. You just need a relatively small amount of capital for promotion.
Try publishing your same content somewhere else and see how much visibility you get. On Steem, though, promotion is free. Spend $100 promoting your post and see what kind of visibility you get. Assuming your post is actually something people want to read, it will be a lot. The best part is that you'll get nearly all of that $100 you spent back when the post pays out.
Yes, I understand that many people do not have $100 to spend on post promotion, but the point is that I don't know of any platform other than Steem right now where it really is that easy.

Yes, it takes money to make money.
Hi @yabapmatt,
I'm Jose, senior analyst at AmaZix (https://www.amazix.com/ // https://www.linkedin.com/in/ze-macedo-15b1b175/). I was referred to you by @jga, I'm working on a forum project based on the Steem blockchain and have benefitted and learned a lot from your posts about how you built Steemmonsters - very cool project btw. We're looking to do a similar implementation using soft consensus and I'd love to talk to you about it and get your feedback/advice if you've got some time. Do you have an e-mail or Telegram you can be contacted on?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jose
Yeah, excellent points. One can still gain visibility
HAHA, there is no such thing as free promotion. There is a lot of money to be made in real advertising. What you are describing is vote selling to get on trending pages that only noobs and trolls bother looking at (I think I fit into both those categories).
I only comment these days, writing posts or in my case making videos is not worth the time.
Oh yeah, I like to downvote the shitty posts on trending. It is so funny to see how angry people get over losing less than 0.005 Steem from my pathetic downvote.
