you are right about this, first when i came onto this platform with zero rep i was confused as i don't understand how it works and how to earn,
i left once cause i was tired of making 0USD but guess what? i came back and decided to die on steemit even if it won't yield me any profit, why i used profit is because.
the platform says content creator's, meaning any thing we showcase on this platform is a product and showcasing it to the crowd to see who love it like they do in galleries,
yea though i don't normally get big upvotes on my post at least i can still managed the 0.20 cents i get on my post.
but i pray one day we all who strife hard to succeed on steemit will have a say and succeed.
thanks for putting this up, what a relieve.
I am happy this post was able to help you. keep an eye on my blog for more @marshalllife
