Funny pic, but ive seen very very very well written articles on this platform with 20-50 upvotes that were barely over a dollar in value. The "whales" are choosing very specific people to empower.
@dollarvigilante covered this in one of his most recent podcasts. Similar to the music industry, there are some great musicians out there that receive very little money for the work they do. Same is true with authors. But if you keep working as hard as you can, you're bound to get noticed :)
Just because an article is well written doesn't necessarily mean it will make a lot of money. Consistent hard work is rewarded in the long term. The whales are choosing people to empower that they feel have the best future for steemit in mind.
I could write the most heartfelt thoughtful dental articles (as someone has) and it may receive a few dollars. My posts have not consistently made a lot of money, but I strive to work even harder instead of giving up and claiming the whales don't like me.
Getting deep into the comment section is one of the best ways new people can establish themselves. Most likely you won't have anyone following you for your second post unless your #introduceyourself is really well done. Taking time to establish yourself is very important.
priceless!!!
I'm glad you appreciated it :) Thought a little poking of fun was in order.
You noticed that too?
