I love this. It can be really disheartening boss. I made a post showcasing my investments on Steemit in a form of banners, posters and even stickers I made with my hardearned money ( kudi, ego, owo, benjamin, SBD, call it whatever) for Steemit orientation and recruiting of people some days ago and all I got was whooping 0.67cents, 25% of the post payout went to drain pipe in form of royalty paid to someone who knew nothing about the energy and resources put in place to produce such things. That drain pipe is @dtube.
@samstickkz made a similar post like yours some days ago expressing his concerns. The thing is getting out of hands.
We may sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster drive Steemit to its natural death.
The encouragements we usually get is keep steeming, your post will earn something big someday. Yes, the someday better be TODAY OR NO DAY.
I WISH THERE IS A STEEMIT WITNESS THAT CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CONCERNS, although my inner self tells me the So called Steemit Witnesses are a CABAL.
LET THE STEEMIT WITNESSES PROVE US WRONG. @ned should shove Steem 2.0 or whatever he calls it if such will only replicate the ABNORMALITIES PREVALENT HERE.
OUR VOICES NEEDS TO BE HEARD, EVERY STEEMIAN IS AN AMBASSADOR OF THE PLATFORM, HENCE, EQUITY SHOULD PREVAIL.
BTW, I like the idea of having the sharks, whales or whatever they like to address themselves as move their crappy posts to promoted page and leave us alone with the Trending page filled with 90% garbage and 10% sausage.
Sorry about the promotion you did that refused to yield much. You are not alone. Sometimes we go for these meetups and promote steem. When we make a post about it, we don't even recover our transport fare let alone making profits.
Its gonna be okay my friend. Thats what everyone says. Perhaps if we say it long enough, we believe it and maybe the miracle of belief will make it come to pass.
Keep steeming!
