I came across this post, some of you might have noticed it as well.

Wow. Where have we landed in such a short period of time.
Let the facts do the talking.
1. Plain and simple - the title itself is hilarious.
The author is not a steemillionaire yet he claims to teach you how to become one. Yeah, sure.The author himself is a newbie on steemit yet claims to be a pro. And by the way, he reaches out to everyone, calling everyone a newbie.How long does steemit exist? Yeah, we’re all noobs. God forgive us.
2. „The great majority of that success on Steemit has come from decades of work".
Yeah, sure! The one and only reason the author made some bucks is due to the whales. Period.
3. Recommendation No#1: Images.
Wow! The author used an incredible amount of 2 images in his post! Good advice! Obviously the author didn't care much about images at all because he knows he'll make some bucks, with or without images.
4. Formatting:
A massive wall of text scares the reader away? Possibly, yes. Agreed.The author himself has a massive wall of text in between his 2 meager images. Fail. Don’t you agree?
5. „Building your audience“.
Basically not a bad idea. But what happens if you achieved to have 100 followers who love your blog but don’t have enough voting power to make your posts be worth something. Well, at least you can be proud of their „likes“. Wow.
6. "Write something interesting."
There are 50.000 people on steemit with 50.000 different tastes. What a good advice!
7. Consistency.
The author is on steemit for about a week? Yet talks about consistency. This topic is about to promote himself, self-congratulation par exellence.
8. „WHY YOU SHOULD BE ON STEEMIT EVEN IF YOU CAN'T WRITE AND HAVE NO FRIENDS“.
This point is just rude as he implies that users are not able to write good quality stuff and don’t have friends. Wow. He might end up having 0 friends if he continues like that.
9. Conclusion.
The author wouldn’t have made a single penny without being „famous“, without the whale-votes. YOU NEED TO HAVE FRIENDS OR FOLLOWERS WITH VOTING POWER. Period.
I’ve seen so many interesting posts on steemit, about philosophy, life, mathematics, music, art, people who actively promote steemit and they did not get proper attention.
Sad!! Just sad!
He was one lucky guy to get the attention of the whales because he is „famous“. Now he claims to be the source of knowledge. Hm. I’m not sure.And the introduction image with all the money and cig is very inappropriate.
But you decide.
P.S: Let’s see how far this post gets without a single image :) Don’t blame me for being honest and upfront. Honesty matters. For a lifetime.
