Maybe you did not make it here (yet), maybe you need more time... but keep in mind that the people we call "whales" DO deserve their status.

Take whoever... if they made it to the trending list, there is a reason. A bit of luck maybe, but mostly a REASON !Take @ned and @dan: they freaking CREATED steemit. They totally deserve their status.
Take @Heiditravels: she was the 1st one to post excellent quality content, real stories of travels, with amazing pictures.
Now, stop hating.
I have been there before,... wondering why... asking how to change this world...
Today I decide to embrace it. Minnows never swim agains the current.
I don't care if I have 10 posts work $0.01, because I can see that the top10 posts on steemit, not only make decent money, but are 100% good quality content.
And $0.01 is a start... and it's always better than other social media sites where these $0.01 go to the CEO of the companies.
So, if you're not making the big bucks, at least be thankful, read and enjoy ! This place is 100 times better than Facebook or anything else. Think about it.
Long live Steemit.
I agree. The key is keep posting. Don't spam. Spend time to come with good post. Slowly build your reputation. And you will be there as part of the whale.
Thanks
