I've read your post six times and I still can't figure out if you're saying what I'm saying or I'm saying what you're saying or none of the above.

Take these two currently trending posts, for example... They're both from well paid authors. Both authors are claiming to have some unique knowledge to bestow. Both imply that their knowledge is the difference between earning pennies and earning thousands.

Yep. So what do we do about it? Whale's gonna whale, cause they're smart and can game the system in ways I couldn't understand if they wrote it out with cheese and crackers.
Curation, not content creation, is the key. Which you already know. What I don't know is how to scale benevolent minnow curation. Maybe you know. You seem to know things. Important things.
@bacchist You just DE-motivated me ( a little bit ) ! But nobody will stop me telling my stories . (upvote or not )
I love and admire Rok's posts and many other good skilled writers but you basically just said that only GREAT writers have a chance . I don't think so ! There are many wonderful stories being told from real people like this young Indonesian man , one with very bad english skills . It touched me more than one paragrap[h of Heidis travels , There is a certain kind of human magic sometimes coming through , better than those "super drupa " awesome ones . https://steemit.com/life-story/@moch-yusuf/my-story-my-life-like-a-coffee-coffee-teach-me-about-how-to-enjoy-life#@moch-yusuf/re-mammasitta-re-moch-yusuf-my-story-my-life-like-a-coffee-coffee-teach-me-about-how-to-enjoy-life-20160722t101311737z
