I totally agree with you !
It's not about the money all the time. It can be very interesting to read about experiences and travels of other all around the world. On Steemit you are able to comment things you like, have interessting discussions and much more.. I personally think, if you are here just(!) to make money, you will fail. You doing a lot of stuff and earning like 1 cent. After a while you'll be annoyed and quit anyway. Thats a total time waist. Be here to have fun, read articles and have a great time. Earning money is a nice side-effect !

Thats absolutely right and thats the reason why many users give up very early :(
