There several "communities" here on steemit. The first group are the initial producers of steemit. This group has a great deal of wealth tied to steemit and need a way to transfer that wealth out of steemit and into their pockets. These are the people who need to promote steemit as a way to make money. The second crowd is here for the MONEY. Two of the easiest ways to make money is one resteem service. The second way is to have a group that agrees to upvote regardless of content. I think that these folks are the people you are referring to in this post. The third community are those of us who post content for the sake of the content to share knowledge and experiences. The fact that there may be some reward to that is secondary. Although I must confess it is a little discouraging to work hard on content and receive little for it. I post every weekday a blog that perhaps only two or three people actually read. For what it is worth I do read your posts and upvote. Steem on and by the way your school work should come first. Perhaps you might want to write about that a day in the life of Alex at school in California? Am I remembering that correctly? Any way keep calm and chive on!

For what it is worth @handofzara, you do write to a specific niche which will have a very limited audience. I too work hard in my writing and at this point if I earn anything, I look at it like a bonus. I have a blog that does much better... with the motto "One Day at a Time!" Maybe Alex should take your advice and do the "School - One Day at a Time" format!
You are absolutely correct about my niche audience. The truth of the matter is that I write more for myself, to keep myself honest in what I do, a personal log for my trading that I share. Anything that is gained from steemit is as you say a "bonus", the real value to me at least is to so that "to thine own self be true." I think Alex is a great young writer, with much to share. By the number of views and comments, clearly he has insight, and a real finger on the pulse of this community.
