Great rant post that deserves more attention.

It is indeed about who you know, and when you know them, and luck, and timing, and who likes who when. There are so many huge opportunities on steemit that come and go all the time, but those of us in the trenches are doing it all the low and slow way, like a crockpot, hoping for the best.

'We'll all be here by morning' is true because there is still money involved, and the potential for money, and that's what keeps us coming back.

With thousands of people joining steemit daily (or whatever crazy number), I'm not sure if that gives our better content more potential to be seen...or more of a chance to get buried by junk. I fear the latter.
