Hmmm, interesting perspective! I'm currently trying to figure out for myself, if it's possible to "succeed" on this platform.
The funny thing about most people complaining about not being able to succeed on a platform like this is, that they usually don't even post quality content consistently as you do, for example. And expect the same results as you. And clearly, you've been doing this for a while now. So I believe that it's mostly predicated on the consistency and the quality of the posts that you're doing - so it's not easy to succeed for everyone, it takes a lot of work. But it's definitely possible!
I've only been on for 2 days, and I can say that it's definitely possible to move up the ranks quickly.
However it can also be very disappointing when you work for an hour on a detailed post and it gets 10 views and a $0.01 profit - It quickly becomes discouraging. I rambled about it a bit earlier today:

I also joined 2 days ago and am satisfied so far. Note that the major portion of my steem income on here so far originates from comments on high-reputation author posts, and upvotes on these comments gained by them

I guess we're all in the same boat, also came here 2 days ago - this thing seems to be picking up a lot of momentum! So far, so good - I told myself that I need to be consistent for at least 30 days, before I jump to any conclusions about the platform, so... let's see!:)
