Yes, it's discouraging. And a bit frustrating, but then again nothing is fair and no body really cares. It's really a dog eat dog world here. Social degradation and filth is valued more than anything that is portrayed as informative and intelligent. Its a direct reflection to the masses and their values. As far as women dressed in revealing clothing, well have you ever heard the phrase "Sex sells"? It's true. Most people are guided by what they "see". And other just want to see pictures. Few are actually interested in written content. However, don't forget that luck plays a role here, and if you want to write something... ...Be passionate about it. Don't do it for money, do it because its something you really want to put out there. You will almost always be disappointed if you do this with only money in mind. It won't work that way. Keep at it though. I upvoted you to motivate you. Keep trying, don't worry about anyone else just worry about yourself.

Here's the problem with that though. If whales keep being predictable, keep upvoting the same kinds of posts over and over while other content goes unnoticed and unrewarded, then guess what? People will stop making content. Or worse, steemit will just become a giant clone factory as posters create nothing but knock offs of things that whales like.
We already see this happening. Some guy got 1000 bucks for saying "Oh man, look at this weed. I sure like weed" with a picture of some weed. And now there are tons of similar posts. I think if it keeps going like this, it's not gonna do good things for the community.
I see your point and I agree. But I wouldn't worry about it. In the end if what you say really does happen and people just stop posting because their content is ignored over some meaningless crap then I can almost promise you that STEEMIT market wont last very long.
