Posts That Never Made It! - Let's discuss things and make it viral! -A second chance of exposure!

The problem is that you're writing for money. With that mindset, you'll probably always fail. Stop caring about what other people think of your posts and just focus on having fun. That's what social media is usually for, after all.

Thank you for your reply, but that's actually not the case in this specific scenario. I've shared my thoughts, ideas, experience and knowledge for free, on various internet forums, on facebook, twitter and all that for several years. I do the same on steemit too. And I do things for fun, but I would rather entertain my readers with something of value, instead of sharing crappy content that no one is interested in. :)

However, steemit is slightly different as you can make money by doing just that. You do exactly what you've done forever on all the others platforms but you'll have a chance to make money here.

I could probably have used another term instead of reward, or at least explained that part more in detail..

There's different types of rewards. Rewards could be comments, upvotes or earnings.
In my case, with the post I mentioned above, I'm talking about the money indeed. As I've already been rewarded with more than 100 upvotes & comments. That being said, my goal with this post, or what I hope for, is to make this a big one, so people can get some insights, tips and suggestions. I want to contribute and I wish that others feel the same way.. Knowledge is power.

Yes writing for money does get you discouraged. But at the same time it is disheartening to see someone copy and paste a news article with 5 sentences do better than a piece you spent a day on. It's not that you are writing just for money, but there should be an easier way to find users content that really try https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemrollin/a-great-reputation-system-that-s-what-we-need makes a wonderful suggestion. A minnow with 5 stars or whatever system based on comments and posts should be able to be more visible than someone posting random nonsense

That sort of system would probably work perfect on steemit. Hopefully they'll implement something like this in the nearest future. That, along with some changes in the filters would be perfect!

Yeah at least some of the changes that need to be addressed are receiving some notice. Some sort of weekly video from the devs to let us know what is coming would be awesome or for them to tell us a topic they are thinking about changing and let people come up with some ideas to change it in a way that may not have been thought of before

That would be awesome. I made a post 5 days ago about some features I would love.

You can find it here:
Steemit : Feature Suggestions, Alert Notifications & Popular Posts.

It's nothing major but I would have loved to get some sort of response from the devs, from @ned or @dantheman, that would have been great!

I do understand that these people can't watch every single thread being made, and definitely not upvote and comment everything they read. That just wouldn't work. But something like features should be monitored and commented. Well, that's my opinion at least. That way, the creator of the post (me in this scenario) and the readers would have got some sort of update about it at least.

And from what I've heard, people are trying to monitor everything at all times, but that seems a bit too much actually. I can understand how that might have worked with a couple of hundred members but with more than 40,000, which we have right now.. It's just impossible..

Just imagine when we reach 1 million users..
