I agree. I want to receive more feedback about my work and my photographs as well made some money. Steemit have a terrible discoverability and to me honest I believe this will be fixed by third party websites that use steem blockchain network. I have social writing platform and I want to bring steem to there. Of course this will benefit my business but the more important is that I will be able to use my design skills and experience to create more than a beautiful website but a great experience for a niche. This will result in better chances to quality content to appear and perhaps, receive the whale attention.
Imagine a writer. Of course it is important to him to make money from his content but as a professional he wants to improve his abilities and the best way to do it is keep writing and receiving feedback from his readers. Look how much feedback you received here. Don't you think this has value to yourself?
