Users like myself are trying to encourage original content. That's the direction I want to see the Steemit.com go and I try to help users with that. It's also meant to be a social experience. I get more rewards by commenting on articles and trying to help people than I do on content. I just don't have any inspiration to write anything original at the moment.

Steemit and original content isn't going to appeal to everyone. Good luck to you!
