Let me start by telling you that Steemit has changed my life... I guess it's debatable whether it's for the better, but I personally think so. I joined Steemit eager to make money, with an identical mindset as the newcomers today.

I've probably been in the same situation as you are in today... No matter who I'm talking about. Maybe except for the really established dolphins and the whales. The concept of Steemit is great and I truly believe that we could accomplish life-changing things for many.

What I wonder, is how and why some people have been given the opportunity to have several thousands of Steem Power delegated to them for free... When all I see is greed and selfishness? - Take a look at someone like @abh12345 for instance.

He does great things for the community, in various ways, and he still needs to pay for delegations, even though some others have 20k, 50k and all the way up to 200k delegated SP for free... And they do less than him. - How did that ever happen?

I delegate my Steem Power to others. I am one of the founders of the @asapers, along with @insideoutlet and @shai-hulud. I have delegated 100% of my Steem Power towards this project for a long period of time, and I've never asked for anything in return.

I have donated Steem and/or SBD to a handful of Steemians in an attempt to help and support others. I have donated to @t-r-f, to help others to go to Steemfest, even though I've never been there myself. I once were an SOG, the initiative by @fulltimegeek, and I produced good results each week. I was able to "spread the wealth" and I supported several thousands of people in total during the 10 weeks I served as an SOG.

I have never participated in any form of flag wars and I have never flagged people for "fun". I have never particpated in any form of "follow-for-follow" or "vote-for-vote" type of scheme and I've often called myself a support pillar. I have worked hard to motivate, inspire and support other users. I have written and published many different guides and "how-to's", in a way to guide and spread awareness and knowledge, even though I'm far from a "crypto-expert" myself. My main goal has been to never neglect or ignore my readers in any way. I have strived to reply to each comment I get on my articles and I've often helped people in steem.chat or on Discord.

I have done and I still do all of these things, but I've never had a delegation of 50K, 100K or 500K Steem Power... And I wonder why? - However, this is not about me personally. This is about the whole mindset.

I am not alone and I would never call myself better than others, but I definitely do more than 90% of the people on Steemit. I don't even need real numbers to figure that out. It's easy to see and understand, if you have half-of-a-brain that is.

I recently heard that we have more than 1 million users on Steemit... And even though I think it's bullshit, those numbers give me all the answers I need. I know a handful of people who're willing to sacrifice their own rewards in an attempt to help others... I know we have many more than that, but I'd say that we are a group of ~10% of the users that does something for others, which obviously makes the other 90% selfish, greedy and truth to be told, unnecessary, according to me.

I recently came up with this new idea to push people into the minnow category, and I do that along with all the other things I do... And we've had really great results so far. But, I still haven't seen a delegation of 100K.

My question is this:

• WHAT am I supposed to do, for the stake holders to see my value?

Look, this is still not about me. But one starts to wonder what the fuck people are doing here when they can't seem to see the difference between their right and left foot.

@ned and all you other stake holders, open your eyes. It's about time that you start to support those of us that actually cares about others and this platform. I have 1000 Steem Power and I'm getting tired of seeing those with 10 or even 50 times the influence, who does less than me. And yet, you still seem to support them, as nothing have been done to change it.

You can find me on Discord. I am one of those people who're actually trying to do something... And I have a list of about 20 people I figure you should support. We don't need one million Steem Power. We need 5K, 10K, 20K... Perhaps 50K or 100K.

• Is that really too much to ask?

Is it too much to ask for decent support for the time, blood, sweat and money we've been investing in an attempt to keep this platform alive? - It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see those people who actually cares.

Is it really necessary to delegate Steem Power to someone who already have 50K+, or would it be in better hands of someone with less than that? Or in the hands of any of the small projects we have that works hard to help others?

Oh, I forgot...

The "little guys" doesn't matter so you should probably flag this and take away the rewards too. That way, someone who pays their way into trending can have my share too.
