Very nice post @slayer . 99% of the time the reason why we are here in Steemit is because of the earnings we so desire for our blogs. But the reality could not be denied that there's more to just posting quality stuff and expect rewards right there. This has to be understood by everyone.
Please allow me to post the article I wrote recently for the new members that relates to your great post.
Yeah I'm glad you agree. Once this mindset is adopted by everyone on Steemit, it will be a much productive place.
