@elleok thanks for your comment.
I cannot change the way you choose to look at reality. If you believe that what you are writing about steemit in it's current state is true then thats fine by me...
Im not complaining about me not getting upvotes, it's the big picture, this community could really flourish with a slight increase in solidarity, and the value of STEEM and the number of real active "non-bot members" would rise fast, and we could easily take a large portion of the marketshare from #oldsocialmedia...
This would lead to a rise in the value of STEEM. That is something most people want here I think, except for potential saboteurs working for "the other side" or something...
Sorry if pointing this problem out made you feel sore or offended your belief system or something, but I thought this was pretty self evident...
I see good plankton accounts pushing and pushing high quality posts and barley getting anything more then like total upvotes worth 0.007 in total per post...
A good exercise for people who share your/this belief:
If you publish extraordinary content you will get those votes you so much desire I can guarantee you that but yeah that also means at least few hours of writing and stuff which just not many people have the time for.
Start a new account with out putting a shitload of steem/sbd/sp in there and try posting ten "amazing extraordinary articles", (work on each of them for days or weeks, and NO revealing your true identity to all your discord buddies or friends), and see for yourself...
Cheers!
