Great post. What really sricks out is that you cannot get too comfortable on Steemit to make it work, if you are looking for financial gain. You have to keep on trend or wait to strike it lucky with the support of a whale or too. You can have a framework of blogs in the normal blogging world but Steemit is a different beast.

Yes, it's harder to promote your own work here, without resorting to the BOTS! What grinds my gears is that when promoted posts came out, everyone yelled SPAM and relegated it to it's own tag, but they don't seem to have that same reaction to upvote bots. Sigh
Entire shit show is run like medieval serfdom with barons and kings (whales) feeding peasants with thumb up crumbs. YouTube is at least egalitarian where content and your work stands out and all are standing on level ground.
Youtube is authoritarian and cut out ALL of the little people from revenue share. You come off like you're so confident, but you don't much to be so loud about it. Guessing you're on a lot of mute lists, well, here's one more.
Cool story bro, changed my life. I get plenty of revenue share from YouTube, Adsense and Google metrics. Never made it on a mute list, thanks ! You know what they say, when you start taking flak you’re over the target. Yeah I am confident, if you had my resume you would be also.
My frustration in original post was directed at Steemit, not you. Using the quip about A-holes escalated the discourse. I merely was using the post here as a sounding board of flaws I’ve seen in steemit. Don’t take it so personal.
