This! your blog was one of the first that really grabbed me, before I even fully understood what all this steemit stuff was about. This is the perfect advice, and it still holds right now. When Steemit hits the 1 million Steemian, this advice will still be as relevant to new steemians as it was when you executed :)
yes, because there will always be newbies that come in, not understanding the system - but more importantly, misunderstanding VALUE.
It took over 10 years of studying Wealth Dynamics until it really started sinking in, integrating, and being put into practice as I persisted through my own bouts of discouragement on Steemit.
Steemit is its own economy, as @andrarchy explains in this excellent post/video of his - and at the core of every economy is the basic principle of VALUE CREATION & EXCHANGE.
people that don't understand these fundamentals are likely to project the frustration outward in the wrong places, but at the end of the day, its each our own responsibility to learn the rules of the game - and to earn our way by providing VALUE, which may also come in the form of assisting others in learning the rules of the game and how to navigate their ways through new territory...
