What will help is that you check history. Then, allow yourself to have history. In general, your content should be priceless and according to me it is. There are different forms of rewards too, votes being one and how is see it, a vote can mean many things more than just a means to reward. Money are the smaller things. Many things require time to fall into place and if you dig up steemit's history, you may appreciate the now better. Things change. Things are changing. You can bring about change, exactly how you want it. These things have happened. Plus, it is a social environment and there is a real life paradigm. Even if one is the best at something, there is also a time factor. If you arrived somewhere and there is a queue, you likely won't jump the queue. Same will be the case anywhere because it is a social space. Plus, what is rewarded on steem is value and value can be many things at different times, content constituting one form of value and there are many other things that constitute value. Also look more at steem, steemit being just a part. Plus, join the weekly steemgigs talk, sunday 12 am Manila time, i will love to answer questions. For steem, each one is stakeholder. We take steem to the moon. Again looking at steem as whole will help you grasp its beauty better as there are others sides beyond blogging to it. Also its success isn't measured in bulls and bears because among the bots, a real community exists of real people with the steemit effect and it is solid and can move stuff. For many things on here, there is no measure. Not getting votes for instance, isnt a measure of the quality of your work as there is no question about quality, where there is no real measure for who measures. Again, according to me, excerpts of humans can be priceless and i am not one to measure it. I can only manage to inspire more than reward. Another thing is the numbers grow and this is where other factors have to come into play. With smts, interfaces can decide how to distribute their pool. And even currently, interfaces can decides other strategies to reward after seven days. It use to be up to 30 days in the past and that it is 7 days now doesnt mean it will stick on that way as community exists and if it decides to move, things adjust as history has shown. Payout was also 24 hours in the past. There wasn't delegation in the past either. Now, if you own steem like you do, you can bring about just the change that you want even on on a large scale. So as you pinpoint things that you would like to have changed, craft remedies out and play them out till they enter fruition.

True. Sometimes it's the people you got to know, interact with and gain after (solid followers) makes all the posts one makes all worth it. Money might be the one that lure people in to this platform but it is the social interaction among others that makes them stay.
Yep the thing about Steem platforms especially Steemit.com is it's still on "beta". There are still room for improvements and possible features that will be added, removed or change to overall improve the steem platform. The thing is that it's been almost over a year since the last hardfork and people are now beginning to question if Steemit is have finally gave up. All they did for months now was just give us "updates" via @steemitblog as to how close those possible changes will be, but still no eta unto when. Well it's still better than nothing I guess.
I will have to agree on this. The way I see Steem honestly is that social interactions among others are rewarded more more than quality.
I think this one is kind of similar to "Metcalfe's Law" wherein the value of a network grows as more users are using it. With only ~60k active accounts daily, counting bots/alts the platform still have a long way to go.
I for one is on here for the long term. Most if not all payouts I had got over the course of 7months was all used to power up this account. I now have an SP of over 500+ without investing any real money on Steem but just by delivering decent contents. I really do believe that Steem will take us to the moon in a year or two from now. Dlive, Dtube and even your Ulogs and steemgigs are what will make this all possible.
I still remember when I first started in here and the "philippines" tag wasn't that much used by anyone. But after your support through upvotes and your teardrops initiatives an encouraging everyone to be the star of their own blog (U-log), at one point it even made it to the top 20 tag. I do hope we have more witnesses like you :)
