Hi Hive account@photohunter

So someone I'm following resteemed this post (if you were curious about how a random person would stumble upon it). Anyways, I think the major flaw with steemit is the fact that people join it trying to make instant money. Yes, people spend time and hours on a post but in the end what merit do they have to deserve money?

Is the person a good writer? Most likely...No
Did the person present something new? Again most likely...No

So why is it that someone deserves instant money? That's not how it works. Take youtube for example, most of the time it takes years of good content to build a fanbase and start making income. Same with blog posts.

Everyone is so focused on making money which is why most of the posts are about bitcoin, alt coin, and how to make money on steemit...how many posts of this do we need?!

People are so quick to upvote on articles they don't even read because a whale posts it and they are hoping and praying that the whale will upvote their comment.

The community that's actually trying to provide good content outside of the crypto world is very small and when they are posting content it's most often just a link to their youtube videos.

I have seen so many "My first (insert days) on steemit" and don't take this post as an attack on you or anything but I just don't see why everyone does this. It's another fluff post to get views.
