You cannot have good start from zer0 because number of views will be dramaticaly low - that's a point what I wanna talk about
https://steemit.com/steemit/@xenitron/non-stop-advertising-of-steemit-will-not-make-steemit-great-if-you-do-it-without-a-soul - 21 views / 7 comments. Its not about $, we are talking about people views and positive comments, they like content but so few people can read it
Logic and numbers, that's why we are here, not on the site, but in general. You ask - but what about emotions? Emotions are what enables us to create, in positive way, things that make the world a better place. But in some reason, the mind overcomes emotions, because positive thinking becomes naive, no we dont become more cold, but only adjust to the environment, to the way it takes us. Become a man John Snow.
The state of affairs on the Steemit today is such that the amount of content prevails over the quality of content, if you are a new member of the community, and you do not have popularity or friends among the nobility. I do not see the point to spend the time from day to week to create on good content, until I get more popular here. Moreover, become more popular, I can't do it by making good content, so I'll just have to act according to the laws of the jungle to survive here.
There is a light in the dark, we have to unite with others. Because there is no other way, we need to make new friendship, get acquainted constantly, comment more, only in this way. And then, with all the heart, we can create truly interesting content for a wide range of people. But what we have to go through, we need to step over ourselves in a sense and create a lot of content just for people find you. This is not the best way, but it is only one with current system on Steemit.
Maybe in the future there will be responsible folks on Steemit who will follow new users, and most importantly, to separate stories consisting of copyright, pictures from the web and truly worthwhile stories from life, but this future has not yet come.
