Sorry if you feel that my post was whining. That was certainly not the intention.
I agree with you that providing value is important. I don't agree that visibility is good. There are many opportunities for improvement and while we should not give everyone a cookie, currently the cookies are distributed pretty badly. And I don't think that that is an unpopular opinion 😉
I wasn't talking about your post. I was talking about a general mind-set.
I didn't say that. I only said that it doesn't come for free.
Everybody who wants a piece from the cookie as you named it, should do something to earn it.
In the past I have done lots of video tutorials and even given personal trainings to new users on steemit. Some of them are really on fire and want to learn, others don't. The first group is the one that's going to succeed here.
Don't take everything personally btw :-)
No worries, I don't :)
Yeah, I agree that you should work to get rewards. My issue is with those that work and get no rewards. But that os my opinion.
Generally, we as a community should start finding consensus. It should not be the decision of a few.
