@themanwithnoname thanks I totally got the point of your post. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated seeing people "playing the system" while not perse generating the best content. We're not living in a perfect world :) I fully agree that good writing and networking will pay off in the long run. Or at least that's what I hope :D Thanks again for sharing!

@michelmake—I've not been around here long enough to qualify to say what I'm going to say (I haven't even been here a month yet, don't know what oldtimers have been through, don't know much about the behind the scenes, let alone been a part of any of the discussion or excruciatingly tough decision making process), but I'm going to say it anyway—
As a platform dedicated to rewarding original quality content, Steemit sure does a great job of rewarding and facilitating the exact opposite, while making it virtually impossible (there's my own ray of hope shining through) of ever 'making it' without using bots and/or somehow currying favor with a whale/orca/dolphin. You might actually have to do it all at once.
I know, I'm sounding like the paranoid guy with the tinfoil hat, but what I just said is sincerely meant to be an observation of reality much more than it is meant to deflate or act as a warning.
I'm still here, after all, posting and commenting and upvoting. :)
Thanks for sharing your thought! I guess you are right. Although, I still have good hopes to somehow get there without. Even though It might take much longer. Haha perhaps in a few weeks from now I will have a totally different view, who knows. I'm also very fresh to the platform :)
