I left Steemit for awhile... Because unless you have massive support it hard to make anything. I came back because I like the Platform and Project. But now we will make even less...lol
I have been posting and making $1.50 or so a post some times less with over 3000+ Followers and over 1800+ Posts. It's been hard on here because I often post erotic art and nude art that is NSFW. But some of my images take hours of work, as well as other people to product including models and makeup artists. Some don't take as much work as they are instant film, but still need to be scanned.
I just can't see posting it for even less. When I can actually sell access to it on other sites.
I had hoped Steemit would be great for artists, creators, models, but it's really has not been for the most part and then dealing with flag attacks politics, etc... And then getting harassed by Steem Cleaners and being told I'm a known copyright infringer of my own work...lol I glad I came to Steemit and did well for a little while and I'm very grateful for all of those that have supported my work. But I'm not sure if it's really going to be worth my time to even post. Let alone my dream of actually earning an income by creating content on steemit, which died a lone time ago.
Regardless of my position I think this is mistake for Steemit and will cost them a lot of content creators and they will be left with vote traders. In the long run that does not benefit the platform. But I'm not hating on the traders either, I get it, but there need to be balance, and also giving curators the same payout as the creator is a joke and insult to content creators.
Steem cleaners harrased me once. I was just posting my YT videos and they kept spamming on my posts and had to spam on an irrelevant tweet saying I need to confirm that the content is mine. My face was visiable on a post they comment on and that wasn't a clue it's my content?
