Maybe you shall rethink what you publish, this will not help you. Our very first article made $40 in few hours. Not as large as people you mentioned, but it works. If you do not like it here, why you are sitting here? Hating hot letters will not help you at all to get some revenues, rather write something what matters and I am sure you will get votes up. A vote means also curation revenue I guess, so there is no reason to not vote good content. If you get no votes, it is not a problem of Steem.
