True, I just got tired of the trash posts they were pumping out. Photos of them watching TV and earning $100 to $200 turned my stomach. I find minnow posts have been the most entertaining even though there are plenty of them taking selfies while watching TV.

@boboxer I know right!?!?! I bust my sad posting what I feel is killer quality content in my field (nerdy shit like Comics, toys,games, art) and it kinda sits. I’m getting a slow and steady following but man it’s rough seeing something I’m proud of wasted away while a whale posts dogshit and earns like a champ. Dems the breaks I guess.
I think the magic words to use in a post are crypto, steemit, and witness. LOL. If the title of the post has crypto in it, no matter what it is about, then you are golden.
I think it will pay off in the end but whales saying things like, "focus on quality content and you will get there" is hard to stomach when many of their posts - a pic of them eating a sandwich - are pure garbage but earning $ 300 to $400 in an hour. I guess it is Blockchain Trickle-Down Economics.
I do think that there is some merit to posting quality and the following will come buuuuuuuut I think its a loooooong drawn out process. it is highly frustrating to see exactly what you are talking about. even if you aren't interested in my topics....look at the type of stuff I'm posting up. I truly feel that it's pretty informative and good. look at some of my competitors. some of it is terribly weak stuff earning 10x what I am just because they have the followers. so strange. seems as though the bigger the base, the lazier the writer has become...not always but man....a lot of the times
You have quality posts. It is obvious time and effort are put into them. I don't get how they aren't getting attention. Your niche can't be small like mine will be so it doesn't make sense. I would like to know the demographics on steemit because they may provide some clues.
thx brother. I wouldn't say they aren't getting noticed at all. I feel like I'm doing ok. I just look at the others and think "wtf?" ya know?
You are doing better than most. Maybe it does come in time. The problem is newcomers may throw in the towel quickly since it really doesn't have much of a "social" feel. Like I said, I can't drag friends from around the world and all demographics to even try it. The trending and hot pages turn them off instantly.
I agree. I think the other thing hurting it is the long wait process to actually finally get in. My wife has been waiting for 2 weeks now. That’s ridiculous and will also be a big turn off. I talk it up to folks and they lose interest as they sit and wait to get on. Trending and hot suck. The Constant begging for follow s suck. Not getting noticed sucks. I love the idea behind this. I just hope they can figure out how to make it all come together and gel.
I can understand your position. Did it get a bunch of other upvotes?
Usually around 90+. Mostly minnows but a healthy number of whales from their school. Or is it a pod of whales? At any rate, I see little quality from whales but some excellent work by minnows. One is a water color artist. The best I have ever seen. Amazing talent. He is lucky to bring in $3 a post.
Pod I believe. And do you mind tagging him please.
@shibasaki. An incredible watercolor artist. People think watercolor is an easy medium - it isn't - and he is a master who teaches with his posts.
