So true...

I too have withdrawn Steem and it does help in the short run.

I can see the long term. But the uncertainty and the low rewards has somehow demotivated me.

The thing is - the message is wrongly portrayed.

When the majority of people join Steem, the message is clear. Contribute quality and earn.

Sounds great, but then I see a quick photo with thousands of upvotes.

And my quality writing going in vain with no one noticing.

Yes, I understand it is a long term game everywhere. But that wasn't promised to anyone joining new. The promise was money in exchange for quality content.

When I post a quality article on my personal blog and I get no views - I feel indifferent because no one made me the promise.

But in here - it is different...

I get your point. And for the long term growth, the strategy should be wise. Let's see how this rolls out.
