I have been on Steemit for one year now. When I first joined Steemit in May 2017, I was doing fairly well in the amounts of upvotes and making a decent amount of money. Now I am lucky to make a couple dollars on a post. Maney of the people that joined when I did have left because of the state of Steemit at this point. When you can take the time to make a good post, taking pictures, resizing pictures and getting it all typed out, then see a three-sentence crap post make 200.00 and your posts make a dollar. It is discouraging and many have quit posting because of this or they have started posting crap posts themselves 5 or 6 posts a day to try and make money. It will get worse before it gets better.
