I would love to, and it is a very noble venture.

Nevertheless, I (and many others who are recent additions to the flock) have to take the rough with the smooth here. Bots are sadly part of that as without them the chances are that any piece one writes (however good or bad) will get no traction...

The community-orientated anarcho-capitalist principles of Steemit has a lot of potential, but it is not intrinsically meritocratic right at the beginning - one needs time and patience to get any attention or build up a following. There's little more humiliating (if you enjoy writing) than putting your heart and soul into an article, trying to promote it using the usual routes and then getting one view....

Then someone who is an early adopter can write simply "I like herrings" (paraphrasing) and get tens of thousands of views and upvotes. I'm pretty sure a Pulitzer-prize winner can anonymously come here and write dozens of insightful multi-layered articles or an expert can write dozens of scientific pieces and get ignored completely if they don't know the intricacies of how the place functions.
