Since I know steemit, I recognized that everyone (including me) is trying to create content for those shiny steem coins. However content creation is not for everyone. Who thinks that everyone could create funny videos, meaningful posts or beautiful pictures is just hell wrong. Sadly most of us is not so talented or genuine to create top class content. The problem is creating shit content takes as much resources as creating a top tier one. It takes your time, your imagination and on steemit it consumes some reward (depending on you and your followers).
The happy side of the story, that everyone receives curation rewards also, so you could remain in the shadows, reading top content and still earn money. In addition, I automatize my upvote system and selling my upvotes here. Besides that, you also earn some inflation rewards for holding SteemPower, so it is truly profitable to be the part of the community, but you can do it by commenting, upvoting and living the normal life, like you used to on other platforms and you (and me) can leave content creation for the pros. This is my two cents on the topic. Thanks. :)
