You're less than a month, what did you expect...?
People grind, grind and grind here for months and get more little by little! (Steemit isn't perfect, yet way ahead of everything else!)
If you decide to quit, remind yourself; the other platforms pay you nothing.... plus, you don't have to be an author to have fun and earn something on here! Just upvote what you like and get curationrewards!
Thank you for your comment, I've been here before, but lost access. I'm back in action now. Yes, I'm fairly new, but well researched and well read. The problem is that I've seen with my own eyes people jump on that are brand new, make friends with a ton of whales for their upvote, write a few sentences, post a shitty thumbnail, and make more than all your quality efforts for a year. If you read my post and the comments here you will see that Quality doesn't matter. Votes by whales matter. Cream doesn't rise to the top. Seriously, I've seen some AMAZING content here, and they get .01 cent? Whereas a picture of a dogs ass gets $535? lol .... bro...... keep in touch.
