So, I started off on steemit around 7 months ago, made a decent amount of posts, but since I never caught a ''whale'', they never really got much attention, and seeing that shitposts made by haejin and other ''analysts'' get hundreds, even thousands of dollars per post, made me quit the site for a while, hoping that something would have changed when I came back.
Haejins money raking ^
So here we are 5 months later and steemit is still in a hole, full of shitposts, spammers and self-upvoters, nothing has changed, and I believe that nothing will ever change. Small posters, that post good, quality content will rarely ever get spotted and mostly will receive $0.03-$2 per post, while spammers like Haejin will receive upwards of $100 per post, since they were on the site first and are just using their steem to boost their posts, so that they get upvoted, and they just rake in the rewards.
Pretty much the last effort from bernie ^
The fact that berniesanders actually tried to do something about it, was my last hope, but now that even he has given up, I truly think that the site is finished and won't continue growing, likely, even start losing steemians.
I don't believe that I will return to the site, as it is way too hard to grow, unless you invest thousands upon thousands of dollars into steem and your posts often get burried under spam. Anyways, hope you have a nice day and stay safe!
