This post is not aimed at @barrycooper or @dollarvigilante The only 2 real whales who give a shit about anyone else but themselves.
I am just sharing what many many others are feeling. If you don't like it then fuck off. Also some stupid ass hole did say my content was garbage then said i should choose meaningful subjects. I'm sorry the story of my cousin hanging herself was not meaningful enough to you steemit.
I apologize.
5 people have about 300 accounts and all the power. CONSPIRACY. Decentralized? You are as corrupted as the rest of the world. This is to every whale out there.
If you are new do not waste time here. Go spend your time doing something that can put food on the table because steemit has only made me poorer. (I can't afford to be any poorer)
don't comment stupid shit about promoting my post in chat. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. The fact people have to go to another website to promote a post is an absolute joke. The reason my posts never got many upvotes was not the content (my cousin killing herself because of drug abuse is hardly lacking content) Its because whales only upvote things that give them curation and the people that are gagging on their cocks. All the whales on steemit can get fucked. May i add.
Write thought out, well written content.
Suck the dick of a whale.
If in 2 months you have not made much here you never will. Power down and quit is my advice here.
All my posts in the last 2 weeks combined are worth about $5. It's degrading being worth so little. I felt better about myself when i was a loner recluse.
Actually read my post before down voting. Especially the last bit. I am mad for far more reasons than personal ones.
New users have nothing to look forward to here. I try and try and regardless. Unless i suck yours or neds dick i won't make anything of myself here. Thats how it works on steemit. Suck whale dick or fail and eventually leave.
Curation has gave all incentive to upvotes dolphin posts and the little guys are left with nothing. I have a choice. Leave steemit and stop wasting time i could spend actually putting food on the table instead of wasting my time earning Zero. Or i suck your dick? which i wont be doing. (metaphorically)
Then you get the steemit fan club losing their shit any time someone like me points out that there is virtually no reason for someone like me to stay. Anyone who claims people haven't been leaving steemit in mass is deluded. Many new users join thats what is keeping the numbers up.
I'm sick of whales only upvoting for curation rewards or upvoting posts of those that are sucking their dicks.... @smooth is a good example. I won't waste another second of my time writing posts here. I'd rather stick to facebook where at least people look at the content. Steemit is in denial. Hence the self support you always see here. "steemit is fucking great" with the same logic i am unbelievably sexy. I think so, so its true right? No.
Just because you all scream about how amazing steemit is, is 1 of 2 reasons. 1 being that you do it to try and lure a whale to your posts. 2 being you have made a nice amount of money and just licking the ring that payed you.
You can shove steemit up your ass untill you sort this shit out.
Also it has nothing to do with content. I was giving away a £50 item for free. Still nothing? when i post on the chat i get the upvotes just based on my title. So what does that leave? a fucked up broken system that buries all posts unless you suck the dick of a whale while cupping his ball bag.
You ignore the very people who make this website great and people will just leave as a result. I won't waste another second here. Go upvote the post talking about how fucking great steemit is instead of the one about someones personal struggle with drug addiction.
My advice to anyone wasting their time here. It's a lottery. Go gamble if you want those kinds of odds.
For the majority steemit just proves a waste of our time.
Look at the trending page. Fucking disgusting steemit. You can decentralize all you want. You will never stop lack of empathy and compassion within humans. We will never change regardless of the system we use.
You make a lot of valid points, but are wrong in some places. You need to remember some things:
These factors and bad luck have worked against you. Your posts just haven't passed through any whale's radar. Most likely you just haven't resonated with them. It says nothing about the quality of your posts, but more about the whales. They may not identify with your experiences or may not be exactly what they are looking for in an author. And you are right about this: you may not know any personally.
Whales are people too and they vote for people with whom they identify and they often identify with those whom they know.
You look like you are a pretty good writer. You get your point across.
If you want to gain a critical mass, here is a pathway for you, offered by me, a whale: Go read my favorite libertarian author Robert J. Ringer. He wrote two books that have helped to form my own libertarian-like philosophy, Looking out for Number One and Winning through Intimidation. Read the former and summarize it here on steemit.
You can say it sucks and that steemed is a misguided idiot. I don't care what your opinion of Ringer's philosophy is. Just let me see what you think about it. If it's a well-considered analysis (positive or negative), I'll get you in the rotation.

To be fair, he has been all over Steemit chat shamelessly promoting his posts, even in channels that aren't even related to his posts. I know for a fact a lot of eyes HAVE actually seen his post and chose not to bother with it because of how he has chose to promote and present himself.

I have read about libertarianism and it does have good ideas. But it is not the state or government that's at fault. It is the people that rise to the top, the psychopaths that take advantage of the system and game it. Just like here on Steemit. If you only follow your greed and want to make more money you lose the sight for the beauty. Long term, life is about having great experiences. The most important part is meeting the right people. No sucking up. Either you upvote or not. Offering someone money to get naked is not philanthropic. If you are a globalist, multicultural society supporter, who advocates open borders for hordes of under qualified Third World invaders, you are part of the problem. These people don't give a fuck about your money. As a matter of fact, you'll likely make yourself a target. The have nots and Patriots will be after you. Your money will only attract the weak minded.

Actually the biggest problem is human nature. Those at the top will generally be oblivious to the problems of those at the bottom and vice versa.
Everybody thinks their situation is hard and everybody else has it easy.
That is the real problem and it will never be solved even if every body has the exact same amount of money like some kind of communist nightmare.
It is part of the human condition.

I partially agree with you... but don't forget...
The changes are constant here! Nothing stays the same! Everything will get better and better since all changes are based on user feedback (there is not better proof about that then the 14 hardforks in about 4 months!!!)
You should check github more often to realize how the developers struggle each day, to find solutions on problems with the help/feedback from our community, to increase the user experience on steemit! And believe me they get also feedback via post's like yours today... everyday...

You're too pessimistic. Try to read @klye's post and @stellabelle's post. You're just 5% of the total population of the steemit who are frustrated because they can't get what they want. You're just here for personal interest, or should I say money. Yeah we all need that thing and we are here for that. But, try to look on the brighter side, some users particiating for they want steem to progress more and more, attract more investors and hopefully be like the two successful cryptos in history(btc,eth).
Actually we dont need you here. Do you think you're the only one whos in trouble making a good catch? Try to look around, read stuffs that are Good, might better than yours but still the same result; did they complain? I was like them too. I'll cut you here, it's hard to give advices to a person whos mind is close to ideals and reality.
Btw! Congratulations! You have been noticed by this post. You know now where you're good at, COMPLAINING. :)

A big concern of mine is that people are simply riding the queue in an effort to upvote content that might or is on its way to hit the front page. Nobody is reading these posts and the comment ratio is extremely low.
I understand your frustration. None of my posts have made much but to be fair I'm not much of writer. I did however, make a significant amount of SD from comments I've left in submissions. Give it a try.

In my opinion they are pushing the wrong type of mentality. Have you ever heard anyone say... Is there a site with great content on the Internet? No? Me either. They need to make a way for people to see new posts and vote on them. People are leaving the stats are out there. Also have you seen the price of SteemIt on the Exchanges today. Continues to go down. The founders need to act now. I believe they can save it, but they better do it quickly.

So then your issue has nothing to do with post content, but about making money. If you'd made a ton of money on the post about your cousin taking her life, but hardly anyone actually read it, would you be satisfied?
I've had no problem finding high quality content that interest me. Literally none. And since I've had to invest a whopping $0 to earn rewards on some of my posts, meager as those rewards are, I don't see what the problem is. There's no risk to investing here. It costs you nothing.
