Day 2 and I have been reading through articles to get a sense of how it works. I have seen articles with 12 votes make 1$ and ones with 80 votes make 400$. I saw a post that was a picture of a computer screen showing the persons LOGO for their company (which was garbage and looked like it belonged on a rave flyer from the early 2000's) with about 50-100 words just talking about how he made a logo for his business and here is the website make over 400$!.

AND GETTING A 900 DOLLAR PAYOUT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COURSE?!!...
I was very excited about a platform that had less of the in-your-face , *I'm producing "content" at x per day rate crap. Please tell me there is more here .....
check out this feed #newbieresteemday ... if you go down the whole thread you will see some pretty good things...
Yes there is much much more here than you describe. But I do completely understand why you get that impression.
Btw, welcome to steemit... once your realize what it is, you will realize that every day there is something new and cool here.
I don't want to overload you, but if you want something deeper and more substantial, then it is here in all facets... finding it is the difficult thing...
I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you. I have started to see the community and how they push back against spammers. Any time there is some sort of system in social organization, there are the parasites that try and manipulate it. This is a great experiment in balancing power, and I'm excited to see how people are solving these things. Fascinating.

Yes you will see many exciting things... I understand it looks like the wild west in some ways (which it is), but you will learn fast that the way it is designed is actually very elegant. It is a virtuous loop that rewards you for doing good things and acting right... That doesn't mean someone can't get by with some money by scamming some of the features, but to really succeed here you need friends and those friends respect the system and aren't going to tolerate you long if you abuse it.
Glad to see that you are giving it a second look... you are welcome to participate in our games this week... you will meet some cool people and have so fun... and also earn something too.
Here is the feed link... enter them all and keep coming back to the new ones all week

Cheers! and stay in touch :)

I'm a week into it and frankly, there is more, but you have to dig for it and the stuff that I like generally doesn't seem to make any money. Still, stick with it a while and maybe we'll find something great here. I hope so.

Yeah its such a bummer haha. Really brings out the negative side of humanity, reminds me of people trampling over each other during Black Friday. :/

That raised an ironic guffaw - wasn't funny but was too true. I wonder if I'm going about things wrong. I was a pretty successful blogger about a decade ago but the world changed and I didn't really like making videos or posting on social media...I was sort of hoping this would be a bit different.

There's more, but way too much shit floats to the top. It's up to us to build networks and try and support quality!
I think it pays off to take a good look around for like minded people and steadily grow your Steem family!
Welcome and best wishes on the platform!
