OK, so I posted this "story" to kind of make a point. I am a terrible day trader. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to day trading and I frequently buy at terrible points.... This post took me all of 1 minute. It has earned 40 cents.
If you'd followed this vague hint of advice to buy Monaco, you'd just have lost a load of money.

I wrote a post earlier today which took me 3 hours. I run several online businesses and this other article was filled with what I believe to be good insight on a topic I believe I'm pretty knowledegable in. That post got LESS views and earned $0.84.

Steemit - you need to do a better job of pushing good content. Better algorithms to promote quality over complete crap like this story.

As it stands, there is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in me posting well thought out content as a new user. That's a pretty terrible state of affairs unless you just want a site full of crap.
