New users have nothing to look forward to here. I try and try and regardless. Unless i suck yours or neds dick i won't make anything of myself here. Thats how it works on steemit. Suck whale dick or fail and eventually leave.
Curation has gave all incentive to upvotes dolphin posts and the little guys are left with nothing. I have a choice. Leave steemit and stop wasting time i could spend actually putting food on the table instead of wasting my time earning 0. Or i suck your dick? which i wont be doing. (metaphorically)
Then you get the steemit fan club losing their shit any time someone like me points out that there is virtually no reason for someone like me to stay. Anyone who claims people haven't been leaving steemit in mass is deluded. Many new users join thats what is keeping the numbers up.
I'm sick of whales only upvoting for curation rewards or upvoting posts of those that are sucking their dicks.... @smooth is a good example. I won't waste another second of my time writing posts here. I'd rather stick to facebook where at least people look at the content. Steemit is in denial. Hence the self support you always see here. "steemit is fucking great" with the same logic i am unbelievably sexy. I think so, so its true right? No.
Just because you all scream about how amazing steemit is, is 1 of 2 reasons. 1 being that you do it to try and lure a whale to your posts. 2 being you have made a nice amount of money and just licking the ring that payed you.
You can shove steemit up your ass untill you sort this shit out.
Also it has nothing to do with content. I was giving away a £50 item for free. Still nothing? when i post on the chat i get the upvotes just based on my title. So what does that leave? a fucked up broken system that buries all posts unless you suck the dick of a whale while cupping his ball bag.
Seriously dude , just be patient your chance will come, I have seen @blocktrades up voting many many minnows the last week alone.
