At the end of the day it is kind of frustrating. You can write an excellent article and within seconds or minutes it can get lost in the ocean of new posts that quickly follow. There are many great articles on Steemit that never really get read while there is a lot of rubbish that popular writers earn money on. Obviously be careful about who you take advice from as those that have a popular following and financial interest will only be thinking about what benefits them.
