Hi @blakemiles84! Thank you, happy to discuss. The first sentence in this paragraph pretty much says it all: "If you've never written so much as a blog post and don't have the aptitude for it then you probably will never make a lot of money on Steemit." I don't call that encouraging. Never ever. That's discouraging. We've seen a model making 15k$ just for saying "Hi", I've seen educational essays that didn't get any attention at all. What's the point? Steemit is not only a place for highly educated and eloquent writers. If you're passionate about your topic people will read between the lines and share this passion with you. Additionally: Let's assume you have the best post on steemit, ever. Is it still worth something without the whale votes? Of course not and this paragraph only deals with profit and $$$$. The headline is still rude IMO, but that's still MY opinion. Please respect that, thank you. There will be steemians out there who feel addressed because the headline contains so much negativity. Why not something positive like "Love what you do and you can be successful, that's all that matters!". Sounds better IMO.

'having the aptitude' is important. I suck at painting and drawing. I'm not going to be successful doing anything around that realm. I write instead.
Because that's not how he got to where he is now. You can't choose who comes onto the platform, nor can you choose what others find valuable enough to vote on.
