Really, I have always felt that the underhanded way in which the Steemit's system is running currently has largely gone unnoticed. But sighting this post and its comments, I can rarely say that is the case any more. As much as I will totally want to go on and rant about how much high quality posts go down the drain, I can't help but say that those we call uncreative folks twisting words and pictures into memes, zappl and maybe strutting out bare bodies in explicit contents or talking about coins blah blah blah, they are the life of any online interactive platform. While writers might the nuclei of the community, the ones who uphold this platform, these other folks are the vibe, the pipers that must not be quietened. As much as Steemit's codebase is centered around high quality posts, we shouldn't forget that it is also a social media platform. This means it is meant to accommodate the rants, the craze, the eccentricities as well as the amateurish nonsenses of man people all over the world.

Believe it or not @gmuxx, that you have these comments swarming on your post, that your payout isn't going to be $0.0... like that of several writers like me mean many people look up to you, they read your works, comment on them, love them and love you too. If you choose to stop posting your fictional works even for a second because you think they're not getting the attention they deserve, what should someone like me, who has experienced more defeats over and over on steemit do? Should I lay off and mourn the fact that most people rarely make the time out to read or upvote the posts I spend quality time writing, or should I keep at it with the sole purpose of building myself, my passion till it touches the sky?
