@rulesforrebels @bodyinbeta Do not despair, Steemit is still a very young network figuring out how to deal with its growing pains. It has much to learn and figure but has come a long way since its inception.
For now on Steemit as in real life, sh^t can float, but eventually will fall apart an disappear.... gross but true. I believe that is a big complaint of @berniesanders against @haejin . Haejin posts about 10 times a day and has a huge whale "benefactor" up voting his posts.
I do find a lot of information about the crypto-world here that I don't find anywhere else, but yes, there are currently better laid out platforms that make for better user experience when seeking certain genres of information.
For now, I think Steemit is a wheel hub with spokes, and new spokes constantly being added. It seems that more and more crypto projects are starting to realize that Steemit is a smart place to be, i.e. the Byte Ball project now doing airdrop for Steem Power hodlers.
This could bode very well should this trend continue, and I believe that as time goes on, we Steemians will all get better at promoting and valuing content if not accurately at least adequately enough.
Thanks for your efforts on here @rulesforrebels They are not going completely unnoticed. I do occasionally send some of you info. to my brother who owns a small t-shirt/clothing line while also owning and running a t-shirt silk screen shop, amongst other things. Lately he has been having trouble with people actually stealing his designs (in detail too ) and selling them to retailers without my brother's company permission....
Again, thanks for your efforts and support as well.

Hey @streetstyle appreciate the comment and the kind words, that actually means a lot and is very inspriing so I truly do appreciate it.
I guess what's frustrating is I've always thought it was kind of all of our duties to be an ambassador of Steemit and bring people on and try to make this a better platform and I've tried to do that, I try creating quality content, I try to bring people over here, I'm always suggesting Steemit, I introduced my Youtube audience and yet it seems the people who game the system and make this a worse platform are the ones who profit and get ahead. I've talked about this with @brianphobos before. He's a person who's really inspired me and kept me on here and who's been on here a long time and I don't see him get ahead.
More recently I see @yungchief doing a ton to create a community and grow steemit yet his two recent posts earned 0.03 cents and 0.08 cents. It's just frustrating seeing the peopel doing the most getting the least and the peopel getting ahead being the people who just take take take and game the sytem.
I don't really have the power to do anything or give anything but I'd love to see some kinda unsung heroes weekly thing for lack of a better word where people who do a lot for the platform somehow get the community rallied behind them and give them some support, help them gain some followers make a little bit of money.
All that said there are some big success stories. @stackin is killing it on here. @kenanqhd over the last year has been doing some amazing things and having success and @reseller is absoultely killing it which I'm super happy for him for, so I don't wanna make it sound like nobody gets ahead there's some people who well deserve the success they are having.
Anyhow, appreciate the kind words and the pep talk. Thank you
