Now let me just say I love Steemit, or at least the idea behind Steemit.com. But when shit like this happens:
Notice my last three posts all got over 200 votes and made jack shit!
It really pisses me off. Now mind you I don't expect to make millions writing on Steemit, but if you look at my earlier posts I was getting good payouts on my quality original material. Now for some reason the Whales seem to have ignored my writing in favor of the same old stupid, rehashed bullshit I see on the front page every day.
I don't know if it is because the Auto-Vote bots are hitting me and so the whales ignore it or what but it is really getting under my damn skin. I work way to hard to write good quality original material to have such lackluster responses to my posts. Especially when I see fake accounts hitting thousands of dollars.
To quote a friend of mine @Mr.Wang:

I have seen dozens of similar posts lately about this same issue and they all seem to share the same commonalities:
* Fake Accounts getting whale votes
* Plagiarism getting whale votes
* Poorly written, non original content such as meme's getting whale votes
* Quality Original Content making pennies
* Bots doing all kinds of crazy shit
Now I am going to keep writing because let's face it I have made money on Steemit, a fuck ton of it. But if Steemit is to succeed and attract more quality writers who stay and help build this brand these issues need to be resolved IMMEDIATELY.
I can't stress that enough, I have already talked to numerous good writers who have left Steemit already or refused to even join because they Lurked and saw the crap that was going on. This is a real problem ,
,
and the rest of the dev team. It needs to be addressed and resolved posthaste!
