well, i mean i would have walked if i only got 50 $ instead of 5000$, because i didn't earn enough before that and than the platform cuts my earnings by 99%. that would be totally DE-motivating

i see you haven't posted a single post yourself. you dont know how hard i tried, and how happy i was when i hit that successful post.

the cool thing is, that everbody can earn a unlimited number of $ here, and you might think my article was worth only 50$, but the majority of the users did not agree and voted me up, so that post earned 5000$. the result was, that i told everybody about it, and 30 friends already signed up for steemit, and i am trying everyday to write quality content for the steemit platform.

so please bring something to the platform yourself, before you come here and try cap the earnings of people who are really trying to bring value to the platform.

i am sorry but i cant see 0 value you are bringing steemit now, having posted 0 articles yourself .
