What Steemit really is all about - now stop complaining!

That's the spirit, but there is something paradoxal on Steemit. With lots of SteemPower, you'll get lot of upvotes even if your post is bad. And in order to get lots of SteemPower you have to get upvotes from whales.

Well, i'm not here to seek confirmation on my posting quality, i'm here to share and contribute.
To many users are hoping for massive amounts of upvotes, but in reality, 30-ish votes and you're gone at the bottom of the feeds

It's a bit of a double edged sword that the default page is 'trending' and thus what many users see as the main content is directly linked to how upvoted and well earning the posts are. I definitely agree that it's all about value and passion, but I can be the devil's advocate and see how the default view of the network is stacked in favor of the money.

That said, I'm excited for the future and the changes to come. And I may have a steemit addiction.
