Don't get me wrong, I did not come here for the money. I came to try out the service at first, then liked the community and decided to invest time and effort in seeing it grow better and more useful. Though at this point I'm not sure how well that went, I'm still trying to contribute my part in making things better. Sure, nobody would refuse some rewards for the time spent here, but if a user comes only for the money and making money is his/hers only goal on steemit, then he/she is probably not in the right place.

You could get noticed in the long run, or not.
What i see actually is that all of this content should be better off on our own blogs where we can earn money forever with it, steemit pays oneshot only. If your post don't take off you are not going to be paid for your content that is now available for free on steemit.
While a blog post could earn money forever, even if it's low, let's say a dollar per week, you still get 52 dollars per year per article.
You should remove the tag #introduceyourself. I won't flag you but others will. I understand the frustration but part of the problem in getting recognized is tagging. There are those of us working to get users to stop using tags, especially popular tags, that are not relevant.
Being here to earn money in itself isn't a bad thing. There is major changes developing and a small number of people trying support those changes, such as tag spamming. As a small group there is only so much power they have to downvote and discourage bad behavior such as copy/paste articles and imposters. While not relevant to this topic there is also no set criteria for bad behavior. I don't condone anyone going on a flagging crusade.
How do you actually find good articles ? I probably only see about 10% of what is being posted as it comes across "new".
I also think everyone is focused on posting and little attention is paid to commenting and helping others improve. Not everyone will be a successful contributor, some will be more successful curators and commentators.
Just an observation from looking at your previous posts, you're writing in topics that are already overdone. Even if you write exceptional (I didn't read any, so I'm not saying you don't) it will be difficult to get noticed right now.
Wish you the best and hope that you'll find your niche here.
