He's saying newbies often don't get the recognition they deserve, which is in part true.
Oh sure, but as long as I’ve been here, newbies (myself included in the early days) seem to see Steemit as inherently unfair with deserving posts getting ignored and crappy ones getting well rewarded. But I think that, as people gain more experience here, they find that it’s more nuanced than that and that there are also excellent posts that get well-rewarded and dreck that gets downvoted to oblivion.
If people would stick it out for more than two weeks they'd start to make friends, gain followers, gain SP, etc etc. All good things in time, but sadly we live in an age where people want instant gratification.
So very true.
Ah I see, yes it is pretty nuanced, good posts are one thing, but community, interaction, marketing, vote bots, the list goes on for things that can accelerate our growth here. Even a bit of luck goes a long ways, like whether or not a whale sees your stuff.
