I wish on a platform like Steemit, with its noble values, money didn’t talk so loudly. This in a sense is what we escaped from in other places, real and virtual to try and pursue an ideal experiment, here.

I wish, too, that bots were seriously looked into.

How can content providers or artists like myself, who might have talent but no money, compete with money-hungry, unscrupulous folks who buy votes & upvote themselves, regularly, to the top of trending lists?!

Also, witnesses, who are handsomely rewarded for their efforts, should be looking out for our best interests & not campaigning to make even more money off our backs, by climbing in a higher position.

I know the world is not fair, and I don’t believe in complaining, but I believe in the promise of Steemit and have only been here a few months & hope to stay & grow.

Here’s hoping this is a learning experience & things work out for the better, for all involved,
