One thing on Steemit that bewilders me is the fact that a post can make so much for something so little, and it is very discouraging.
Here is one example of a stupid post making a lot of money:
All the put was a dumb 2 minute video of beavis and butthead and got over 60 dollars. Nothing wrong with what he did, it's just very discouraging for many. I understand that you shouldn't focus on how much your post makes, but if you are putting in over half and hour to and hour on your post or more and get a few pennies, it makes you wonder. Especially when you see someone barely put any effort into their post and gain more momentum on this platform.
So, that is really that fact of why i'm not going to be taking steemit seriously anymore. Why should I spend time and dedication for a post that will barely get noticed by my audience and have an actual effect when all people are voting on is beavis and butthead videos. Honestly, it is kind of funny, but still, I don't think it's right for someone to spend over an hour on their post and barely get their post to have any views, comments, and earnings when someone just posts a video of beavis and butthead and nothing else and makes 60 bucks. Something is not right with that picture.
That is really just my opinion, I still love steemit, but i'm not going to be continuously posting every time window I get because I have responsibilities, especially now that I am back at school and I have less time to do spare things. But yes, I will still post on here on a regular basis. And to be honest, I'm not really on steemit for the money, because I barely make any, I'm on here to share thoughts, opinions, and adventures. And of course earnings and growth is a bonus.
