Too true. Problem is that most people want short-cuts to success and the easy path. As soon as they find out it's hard work, they're on to the next. Look at YouTube - unless you're lucky enough to catch attention quickly (which very, very few do), it's a hard slog with next to no reward for months, or even years before you get any traction.
But the number of "overnight success" stories on YouTube you hear where they'd been posting consistantly for a long time before their success! The beauty of Steemit (and DTube) is early-mover advantage, but your content has to be good too!
Here's to the future!
Very true although, with YouTube, I would say the system is against them.
At least with Steemit, the hard work will pay off if people put the time in....over time, one does get followers and noticed. That will assist in getting more SP.
