as far as content is concerned most people on the planet have crap to share because there lives are boring and they have nothing interesting what so ever to talk about but they all want to make money so get used it. the handful of people who produce content of any value what so ever will always be drowned out by the global sea of mediocrity. you live in a mediocre world run by mediocre people intent on keeping it that way.

Thank you for the interesting perspective @aaronmda. :c)
If you think about it that actually makes sense. A lot of people out there aren't on a mission or have a mission to spread. Neither are they passionate about spreading knowledge about this or that. And a good portion of people who do, don't have 'enough' of it to sustain an on-going cycle.
And you know what?
Thats OK.
What is less OK is that, infrastructurally speaking, Steemit may be considered akin to a desert-scape with rolling dunes and rocks here and there - and the sparse signs of what used to be a road peaks through at several points - and sign posting that either never was or which has been eroded to be but blank planks of wood embedded in the drift.
In other words - the path is far from clear. Common sense does give some people a clue - but they look at the trending section (because, lets face it, Steemit automatically puts you on the 'trending' page and you get to see how many hundreds or even a few thousands this little post (which needn't be particularly representative of quality) by so-and-so-who-is-well-established-for-any-of-a-variety-of-reasons has garnered - and they join thinking...
"Wow! I wanna be 'that guy/gal'!"
Then they figure that a few good posts will be bound to get them noticed - and...
...nothing...
Their masterpiece (yeah - I know that many don't start out with such) goes largely un-noticed - and gains a grand total of $0.02, if lucky, because they didn't know to use the introduceyourself tag.
Tha produces mediocrity. People who have been given up on throughout various phases of their lives- just living-down-to-expectations... and its a shame... because they 'are' capable of better.
Thank you again for the comment. :c)
