Dear @intellihandling

right now is not important waht you write but how much you invest.

To some degree you're right. What matters is our investment, quality content and engagement (Which allows people to recognize us and that in return attract traffic).

The fairy tale of "make good contents and get rewarded"

And Im glad this fairy tale is not real any more.

Core of problem is not "tool" (steemit platform) but that general laziness and belief that quality content should promote itself.

I think we reached stage, where quality content is worth nothing if you do not engage with community. There is just to many content creators and most of them want to be "visible" without putting much effort to build their visibility.

Cheers,
Piotr
