From experience perhaps .
There is a reason why steemians encourages community building .
I would like to state that steemit is a decentralized community and the people dictate what happens .
You may see some people making waves now, but in the past it was not so.
Many struggled to get to where they are now.
I personally know many whales who put their life savings into steemit , so you cant blame them when people try to mess up the platform .
The bidbot rule was a direct result of people exploiting bidbots.
I could just post a picture or a one word post and use bidbot on it at day 6 and get my rewards before anyone could downvote it.
Many whales actually encourage users here, you need to interact and find them.
Its not a community where people dash one votes and money, nowhere in the world does that exist.
If you want something , you find it
Ulogs by surpassing google is there, writing great content for adsactly is there, steemstem science posts are there, esteem is there, random curation by donkeypong is there, writing for tasks by oracle-d is there, curie curation is there, using and contributing to dsound , dtube, dlive is there
There are opportunities around , its just left for you to find it
Take it or leave, the initial love and desire to help grow and support the young minds that Steemit preaches is gradually losing in glory.
This is an interpretation of your own expectations or maybe dan larimers ideas concocted .
Steem is an ecosystem and an experiment , we can all leave , but steem will still remain .
I hope you stay tho, steem is a beautiful place, finding your niche is perhaps the most important thing here
Let me sincerely appreciate you for enlightening me this much, I am grateful. You took time to put me through some things i never had knowledge of, This has encouraged me and change my narrow mindset about steemit.
Thank you so much, i will not leave steem, i will rather work hard to make it well here.
Thanks you sir
