Lately, I haven't been getting much for my posts. This is NOT a complaint, just a little observation. I am still very happy with Steemit. I am happy to even make a couple dollars here and there from just posting things online. Here is what was a little ridiculous. Check out how much this post made me with only 48 upvotes (note that it didn't even have any comments when it hit about $70):
Now look at this recent post with over twice as many upvotes:
The only conclusion that I can make out of this is that I HAVE to get a whale or two to upvote my post if I want to make anything more than a couple of bucks... That means that the only working marketing strategy besides getting 1000+ upvotes is to base your posts on what whales want to see... I read about people complaining about the inequality all the time. I am starting to really see that now! This is just an observation though; I still plan on steeming as normal with no submission of any sort to whale-agenda! I'm not here to kiss ass! My page is steadily growing, and that is awesome in itself.
