Well, I must admit that I agree that quality posts on Steem doesn't mean a lot, because unless you receive upvotes from bots, then they are normally not rewarded. Still, there are a couple of communities in which they really reward great content, so there is hope, like WorldofXPilar, ProjectHope, and also the SteemitAcademy where you can get quite nice upvotes and encouragements for writing content, so I wouldn't write Steemit off entirely though!
