Yeah I fully agree! A lot of people come here thinking they'll milk it in a few weeks and then will get away with piles of steem... however when they keep getting zero returns, they become disappointed and eventually they abandon the platform.

Obviously there are other problems like... try to get to trending page in your category if your rep is below 55... well you can try, but it's not gonna happen... or try to flag a spammy account, that keeps posting cut'n'paste pics and gets huge rewards for that.

But if you keep posting quality stuff, I believe you stand a chance in the long run!
