I mentioned that I am not relating steemit with Facebook, I am just making a comparison because of the popularity of Facebook.

The comparisons I did make are mostly related to user interface and account creation.

However if we go in depth there are many problems associated with Steemit like the you mentioned and other one being (Perhaps the biggest issue) that the whales always end up on trending page no matter what they write.

There are definitely some better content creators here on steemit who give up eventually when their content goes unnoticed.
