So here we are everyday sitting in front of the main page wondering why haven't I made it there yet. So we start thinking about hundreds of possible reasons that turns us into professional conspiracy theorists.
"They don't want me to get rich"
Well technically , If I was a whale I would direct my upvotes toward articles that can bring the most exposure to the outside world. Let me explain. Blogging about your life, how your travel was providing pictures and updates where ever your going. This is what steemit needs right now since It is selling the platform to the outside world letting them know "hey look how easy it is to earn here, simply share your story as genuinely as possible and you can earn with us"
This is indeed what got me to join steemit in the first place, when I saw these makeup videos , It was obvious to me that everyone could make money with about any kind of content. Steemit is like a discrimination-free platform.
"They can't recognize good content"
Actually I think some can't indeed , but most of them just don't care how good your content is. In fact most of them probably ignore what you wrote because they skiped your article after looking at the title. They already know they are not interested in your article. It doesn't mean your article is not interesting, it only means you did not catch their attention. But here's what, quality content is always king and the way I see steemit grow it feels more and more like people are falling less and less for dummy content such as 2-3 lines of text with a picture. I have seen a couple ones and I myself wonder why would someone upvote this 2 lines of text for a 500$ upvote, but that's what you will be able to do once you get to their level of steem power. Once your there no one can really question what you do with your steem power, since it is YOUR steem power.
"If I was a girl I'd be fuckin rich"
No!you wouldn't be and as a fact you can see hundreds of girls blogging without results, because they think just like you. " hey ill put on a skirt , a few sexy pics a catchy title and ill get rich" actually it did happen a few times but I personally believes those voting for empty content promoting sexy girls are rigging the platform. I do believe from my own opinion of course some whales are spreading steem power among their 2nd 3rd 4th account but I will keep this to a minority of greedy whales because most of the whales I have seen so far are moderately voting good content.
In conclusion, I will say it is true that the platform at the moment is unstable filled with spams and people trying to cash in on 2 lines of blogging but this is mostly due to the excitement the most recent price explosion has caused. This brings us to articles that earned over 30 000 in a single day , this was the direct effect of an over exited community. I believe this community is growing well and in the right direction and we will gradually wake up to a mature and greed free community.
