Steem seems very cool but I still feel like new people are still left out to dry most of the time. I understand posting quality content is the most important part of this website, but its discouraging to put real money into this when it seems impossible to make it back if you don't have a huge following. Also most accounts with tons of followers only have them because they hope to get upvotes on their comments. The people with the most steem power seem to be somewhat stingy with their upvotes. Hopefully I'm wrong about all of these things and i will have a better experience with this site than i did the first time, but I'm still hesitant to buy more steem and power up while I've had next to no success on here. On a side note I would like to mention that most of the people i have came across in this community have been very friendly and upbeat people. I'm giving this a second chance and hoping for the best. Wish me luck!!!
