The problem is new authors without followers get lots in the thousands of new posts per day.
The trending and hot page is filled with either bid bots or autovoting.
What is the solution for new users to jump start and have people actually reading their posts?
I'm seeing some descent posts that make hundreds of Steem Dollars. As a minnow now that I signed up, I see some excellent posts that make two cents. The first three comments I received on my blog article were bots. There is also a loooooot of low quality posts, and they make two cents or more just the same.
I was excited for my first 48 hours here. Now I'm not sure the system works.
