I would be honest and the reason why I went to steemit is "to earn". If steemit is not a place for that, then that's the reason why I am not here as frequently as before. Bidbots are fair but it was not as profitable as before (those +200% ROI). I don't have a lot of followers thus I do not earn (at all). The site is not warmer enough for the newbies to stay and get recognized except for the #introduction posts.

I believe steemit should take reddit as an example. I don't say copy it but take the good things as a guide. I started reddit a while ago and God, the community is great. I had feedbacks even though I am not in a "circle" or a group. Steemit is the opposite. In order for you to earn, you need to establish or join a group. I was with a group in the Philippines before and I could earn a few pennies here and there BUT when the group fell out and I went solo, It felt like I am one of the newbies again (20+) even though I now have a reputation of 50+.

The main thing I like about reddit is it's tagging. Yes they have a custom tag where you can #anything #at #all BUT they also have "communities". These are established tags that people can use and people actually responds. By searching for the specific community, you can gain more feedbacks. In steemit, we do have those "communities" but it's not highlighted enough. I would like to post things regarding League of Legends and my champion Tahm Kench but no one would notice my posts because the tag that is ONLY visible is #gaming. #leagueoflegends is different community than #lol or #league or #legends. Make a single community that ties other communities up together so people can be more immersive and easier to search for the things they wanted to share.

I apologize for ranting but the thought of being with steemit for almost 2 years but having more engaged in reddit when I am with them for a month is a real pain. I would like to be more engaged with steemit but I don't earn or get feedbacks because no one sees it so I kept asking "what's the reason why I should post here instead of reddit?".
