It is a tough situation on here for sure and there are this super small handful of people who were able to make a couple hundred thousand dollars off this platform in the last couple of years with out bringing in a bunch of money from the outside which is pretty crazy and I have my thoughts about each of them that it happened to. At the end of the day it seems like the situation is becoming a game of diminishing returns. What I mean by that is the way things are going now I don't think anyone can become a person who makes that kind of money anymore. It sort of happened because the way the reward curve was previously and the auto votes got really consolidated to a handful of people and then they put out cookie cutter content everyday and kept getting paid for it. Then we have these guys paraphrasing CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph articles but they have enough power and are rubbing shoulders with others who have a lot of power so they are able to circle jerk each other.
I keep hoping STEEM will go to $10 soon and things will be super fun but I don't know if that will happen anytime soon or now even though there is pretty good news out there. Also I can't wait for the new platform that will be on EOS because hopefully we can get a jump start on there as well.
