Unfortunately a decentralized social platform is very much as real life. He who has the money makes the rules. I really dont get why the structure of Steemit only rewards you well when you get discovered by a whale. WTF.... I didn't come here to seek approval. I still think that new comers should have a better voting algorithm. because that way the masses can reward you for a well thought out article. Ive seen post with 30 upvotes that only made like 15 cents. That dont make sense. keep doing what you're doing, so at least this way if a better platform comes along you can just switch your content to that one and keep making money. This is the beauty of original and good content. Good luck.
