Many creators put out quality material and can not even make $5.00 a post and he makes hundreds off of junk or shitposts. Many of the small blogs here cannot even buy upvotes because they do not have to SBD or Steem to do it with and when they try someone else buys a large upvote so their bought vote is crap. In my case, I do not even try it anymore because it is a waste.
