Hey Steemians.

I was scrolling through @steepshot and I saw a lot of great posts. But also, I saw posts that has no text at all, maybe 2 sentences, and 1 or 2 pics.

Ok, that's all great. But when I see that a post with no value have an earning of 8$, I start to ask myself again

WHY AM I EVEN TRYING???!?

I was told that Steemit is a platform where good quality and values are rewarded. I love that because I am a big promoter of creating something, especially if it brings value to us.

So, I am spending around 15h a day to bring value to this platform and to promote it around. I promote Steemit as a good place to get rewarded if you're bringing that value.

But, when I see these shitpost get around 4-5x more reward than my posts do, I really start to question why do I waste my time then?

Why should I put my time in my posts if I can't make 2$ out of it and somebody does a selfie and makes 10$? Why should I even promote this platform to my 15k people if lately I see circle jerking way too often?

I am just a questioner who wants to have it real or I don't want it... It is that simple.

So, in the name of the good rewarded shitpost, I give you this photo of rice. Maybe rice is valued so it will bring a lot people on this platform.

lol -.-' See ya around...
