This is the frustrating reality of Steemit, it's all about your web clout. I can spend a full day or two perfecting a post and earn fractions of someone who throws something together. I guess I need to invest more into steem to have people falling over each other hoping for me to bless them with an upvote.
Keep up the good work, I just checked out your page and you are a pretty talented artist. Just keep doing what you are doing, and yes investing a little in Steem power is never a bad idea.
thanks my friend! I am happy to see this aspect of steem as well a community that rallies together to push undervalued posts up from the bottom, in hopes to increase their traffic and encourage quality content!
Barry you are right which was a big part of my motivation to make this post. To make Steem the best possible, sometimes we need to dive into seeing things that may frustrate us to help us find our way forward together.
Jerry I applaud you for bringing your findings to the community. Let's see what happens now all together
Don't get discouraged. It's not quality = reward. It's quality * reach = reward.
If you'll forgive the self-promotion, I just posted about this phenomenon for frustrated minnows 2 days ago.
Yes this is frustrating
keep at it steem on
