Thank you for your detailed comment. Steemit isn’t perfect, but let’s not forget that it’s still pretty young. It has a lot of time to grow and improve and become fairer for everyone. In order for it to grow it needs people interested in making a difference, in writing actual good stuff.
Moreover, it isn’t a money-making paltform, it’s a social media platform, a blogging platform. And social media is about getting to know people and making friends. Just like the other blogging websites, you don’t earn until you’ve worked hard to build your reputation, to get people to read what you write!
