Steemit is like real life.. but is it real life?

LOL

Just in a playful mood. My title reflects my emotional roller coaster since I started Steemit.

My first impression of steemit.

 Blockchain power to the people social network. The soon to be replacement of the media. No longer with giant corporation control the thought processes of the sheep. The news follows the orders of their owners and the people hate to read or research.. but a misdirection of the news is what they NEED at the end of the day. Well steemit will change all of that. Steemit will give a crowd sourced freedom and justice to all with block chain open sourced media.

Secondly I am going to makes tons of money writing articles and comments and meeting like minded individuals and create the foundation of freedom in my own life socially and econmically.

Well... after only a few posted articles I found it wasn't as fast as all of that.

Posting a new thread is seldom noticed. Votes are rare but just like real life you get what you work for. It takes awhile to find an audience.

Also I have seen some behavior of whales that is very suppressive and anti freedom of speach. For several days I stoped posting.. I have even have hours invested in 3 other articles I have yet to post since I was so discouraged. But I logged in just now and saw I have like $.09 of rewards. Now I can't pay any bill with this amount but to be honest I enjoy being apart of liked minded crypto folks. Getting paid is just a benefit.
