And imagine how much more articles it whould be if more people used this platform. (Relating back to you saying too few use it) The bigger it gets the harder it is to "become someone" on it, same as it is for youtube users. The biggest ones on this platform is the once that alreaddy had a following on youtube or other platforms. Or have theyr own website that they have interaction on.
So like in any other situation, to get somewhere one needs to test the waters to gain experience, then to work your way through it. Everyone started somewhere. and Everyone cant be "on top", as then there wholdnt be a top ;)
