Trust me, I understand the fact of getting Followers and building a name for yourself on Here, but Everyday it is the same exact people trending. We are not promoting our New people, only voting those who have already made it Up everyday. I can also understand the fact that they do write amazing stories and do have great Content, but we need to give Hope to our new people. It is turning out to be an Alarming trend that we get new members and they quickly notice that only a few are Voted on tons of times, every time they write something. Hell i'm at 53 Reputation and it took me Forever to get here, we are making it seem like it is a Popularity Contest More than a Write and Earn kind of site.
I am Happy where I am, But there needs to be a Change
Don't get me wrong I am finally getting attention and am Happy with the amount I receive, but the fact that we have a Number next to or Name should not determine Auto Vote Status, hell if I was at 60-70 Rep, I would not expect every post I wrote to get 100-200 Votes and I would definitely would not expect to see it on the Trending Page Everyday. I want my Content to be What is Voted on Not my Reputation, we need to encourage more new people to hang around.
We Need at least One day that the Same names are not on Top, Find a Great story from a New person and lets Send them into Trending Status
Lets prove to our Users its not always about the Rep, but more about what they bring to the Table...
What do you say???
The rules of voting, the perceived rewards for voting, commenting and posting are unclear (and changing daily). That might have something to do with it.?

Completely agree with you. Same names every time. Gets rather frustrating!

Yeah, I understand the big guys have made it, but we need to change. I am not saying to stop voting on the big people posts, not by any means, but what happened to some of them who use to Sponsor, if you will the new people. Help broadcast great Content for those who do not have the Rep Power. Thanks for replying, :)

I totally agree. New users feel ignored, get discouraged and will eventually leave. I see a lot of great posts by new users getting sometimes 20 or 30 votes but making only $0.10 or so. It seems the minnows are doing a good job curating new posts, but the whales seem to only upvote the already hot posts.

Yes, it does need to change. And WHO needs to change? Everyone! All their behavior is what does this. There are still whales who upvote for certain people and certain types of content because it's a "fun" topic that will attract people to the post... but it's not very important in life at all....
I wrote about the problem that for Steemit to succeed, we need to make it succeed. IT's all up to us. If people want to be lazy and upvote the popular crap, then that's what Steemit is going to be... Everyday I got through the "new" section and look for posts. How many people actually do that?
Thanks for the post. Take care. Peace.

It also gets pretty boring. I don't know about you, but I like to vary my reading and not read the same stuff from the same people day after day. I keep posting because I want to get information out. So, I'll keep on truckin' but don't really expect much in the way of dollars or popularity for several years. It took years to get where I am on Facebook, so I figure the same goes here unless you 'know someone.'
