I think I tend to take a longer range view of steemit. I don't look for it to be a lottery. Over the long time I think it will evolve to include a type of work ethic if it is to survive. I needs to also foster much more conversation to be a truely social networking platform. https://steemit.com/steemit/@iamwne/persistence-approach-to-steemit-a-practical-guide

I agree! I'm not saying that it is a lottery. I'm just suggesting that it improves the user experience to think of it that way. At least for some, especially the sensitive among us.
As someone who writes often about matters of the heart and soul I tend to feel like I am a bit on the sensitive side of things too. It has been encouraging to find that article was valued in dollars. But I don't want my long term view to be one of oh well, I did not win. I am looking for a win under my terms. For me it is a win when a discussion happens. I think that you are right for some it could enhance the experience. Thanks for the feedback.
The people with the work ethic were signing up, but then the Beaches & Boobs trend started and the hard workers now have to claw their way out from under a giant pile of crap to get noticed, so they're giving up. Unless something drastic happens, I don't see a long term for this platform as far as actually networking innovators goes. It will probably make a few people a bunch of money though.
I hope for a different outcome. So in the meanwhile I will try to post things that I think are in someway meaningful and compelling. Not that everything will be. But for those of us who care it just may make the difference.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
That goes both ways. May you prosper in wealth and peace.
Wealth and peace are contradicting terms but I appreciate the sentiment. :)
