RE: My friend signed up for Steemit last Thursday, and is still not approved... is this normal?

Steemit is no egalitarian utopia where all thrive and prosper bathed in intellectual enlightenment.
There are a few who make money, control the narrative and have all the incentives to maintain the status quo. The majority, spend an inordinate amount of time, some even effort, and hope that some day they too will be big.
If this interaction is enjoyable, then it’s a hobby, at best. Do it as long as it’s fun. As for those dreaming of making it a profession, please consider a brief risk reward ratio analysis, substituting time for risk. My guess is that most Steemians can make a hell of a lot more money flipping burgers.

Ha ha, I'd imagine that most Steemians could as well, and making this a full-time job certainly has its risks. Like speaking your mind one day, and some whale doesn't like what you have to say, and boom... this just fired you!

Hopeful Steemian:
