Spending 5hrs to make an article just to realise that you are not getting shit from it, sucks. It's fine if it's a day or 2 but everyday same bullshit is too much to handle. Especially when some really bad articles are stealing the spotlight coz they have their "rich" friends voting for them irrespective of how shitty their article is.

Why are you here if it all sucks?
I agree that old users are having a big advantage, they have money, they have connections. The difference of the vote impact between them and new users is too high, but you have have the choice: keep complaining about injustice or work hard and try to improve your situation step by step.
Why am I here? Coz I believe that steemit can make a difference and it has the potential to do so. Its not easy to make money as an artist living in a 3rd world country. I am here coz I am trying hard to get back on foot nothing more! But I do ask myself that often, try hard and carry a boulder on my shoulder and work without getting paid till the good day comes or just stop hoping that good days will come as my boat has already sailed n give up this undying battle. Its a constant tug off war I only wish everyone understood that. I am not gonna spend my time sitting here telling everyone about it coz of course my opinions don't matter coz I ain't rich and I ain't a chick lol.
... and coz you use to upvote yourself only ... I am convinced that in the long run you could be more successful when upvoting other users more often (you will find out soon who returns your votes and who doesn't ...) but OK, it's on you to believe me or not. :)
