Indeed, as @mintymile said, finding some communities to join and post content in will probably go a long way. Communities didn't use to exist, so I'd be very curious to see how much success you have with creating content and posting it in communities interested in that kind of content. I'll follow you and be interested in any updates from you on that end. Hopefully content creators will have a MUCH easier time being discovered now that we have communities.
Also, it is not true that upvoters get more rewards if they vote on a post that has a high payout. The reward system is actually designed to support content discovery. So if a person upvotes a post early on, before others, and then many others upvote that post and the payout gets higher, the person who upvoted early gets a higher percentage of the post payout designated to the upvoters. The earlier you upvote (discover new and valuable content), the higher reward you get.
