Knowledge? It's as simple as this, Steemit is 'supposed' to pay users based on the popularity of their content. Steemit does NOT do this. When upvoting users are 'Supposed' to upvote things they actually like, however they are 'NOT' rewarded for this, instead curators are incentivised to gamble on what will be popular and upvote at 30 minutes. A charlie Shrem vote about a toilet break will earn $500, but an interesting blog post about being a goat farmer in Mongolia will earn $0 if the persons account is ranked under lvl40. The faults in the system are OBVIOUS, however they benefit the people currently in power (the whales) so nothing will change. Steem will continue to trend downwards, until a rival comes along that is fairer and I promise you, all these 'steemians' who 'love' this platform so much and are pleased with their $10 posts containing ACTUAL CONTENT, will jump ship for the next thing, and then Steemit will die just like Myspace did. I'm not jealous or bitter. I have enough money to enjoy life, I joined Steemit because its an idea without equal, however much like bitcoin, Ethereum and Dash, the real important issues are being dictated by a privelidged few. currently I've not seen a system that deals with this early adopter problem, but I'm sure one will be developed soon. And when it is 'Loyalty' will be the only thing that platforms like Steemit will have to keep people. Like Chris Brown said 'These h*£s aint loyal.
