I think I get fairly rewarded for the content I put up, a reward I would not get on Reddit. Im not part of the '90%' obviously, but I have to ask, is it really that bad?

If I am answering for myself, I say no... Things are what they are. And I try not to concern myself with $$$. I have accepted that it is a long term commitment, and it has to be a balanced approach. I can't sit here and let the house turn into and pig sty and not shower trying to get upvotes lol.
But there is a huge amount of people that are upset with a lot of effort getting them $0.11 I don't try and be an oracle and way anything. But a simple search will show you how many people are not happy.
I am not agreeing with the negativity, but the volume of people like this may ot be good for us as a community.
Let me know your thoughts :)
So perhaps they were attracted under false pretences? Join steemit and become a millionaire through blogging, its just not going to be that easy.
I think its just growing pains, I hear the exact same groaning from newbies on every crypto-currency project I have been involved with 'its so unfair the whales got in early and now we can never catch up', yeah but the whales took bigger risks, with their own time and funds on an unproven platform.
Id forgotten, I even posted about it a while back https://steemit.com/steemit/@scalextrix/what-did-you-do-for-steemit-today
You are not wrong there. I have seem all these ads with pretty girls in them talking about how you can get paid for bloggin etc ....
You don't have to ask. Go to any minnow or dolphin page and you can look at the payouts. I even got 4 votes on one of my posts and got no money for it.
I try not to focus on that, I have has plenty of $20 upvotes and even a $190 upvote in the recent past. Lately it has been very low. And as hard as it is I try not to focus on that. I am still passionate about building this over time. And I am forever trying to deepen my understanding to widen the contributions I can make :)
If you go back before HF, it was so much harder to earn votes, look at this one 132 votes for 40 cents! https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@sc-steemit/gridcoin-a-currency-that-benefits-us-all
So things are better now? SOrry I was not around before then
Yeah, before that HF my upvote was worth $0.01, immediately after it was worth $0.33! Basically the value of minnow votes was rebalanced and so they became worth a lot more (at the expense of whale votes), so now its much easier to earn off of a bunch of minnow votes than it was prior to the HF.
Mine is not better really. Maybe it depends on the SP?
