One of the most frustrating things at steemit is how the posts we work on tirelessly have an extremely short shelf live. I suppose it's not much different from writing for a magazine, but since anyone can become a paid content creator, there is far too much material for any of us to ever read, even in most of our own feeds, sometimes even from one user. All posts quickly make their way to the bottom of an endless pit, a place for all posts, regardless of whether they were shitposts or true gems....
The Steemit Graveyard.
The steemit graveyard is more ginormous than most of us can comprehend. Each of us has our own graveyard of material, some of which has gotten far less attention than it deserved. I know that I work very hard on my posts, especially my Optimism at the End of the World posts. To see them slowly buried under a pile of my newer posts and resteems breaks my heart. When there are few comments I worry that my hard work was all for nothing. It's also frustrating to get low payouts on posts that took a lot of work while some of our half assed posts do really well.
