I came to steemit because I got tired of click-bait, ads, paywalls, and beggars. I think many other readers share this sentiment. As I peruse steemit, I see countless articles that are not worth the time to read. Headlines like "10 things every X should know" are a dead giveaway. Write something interesting and title it appropriately, use keywords that help people find that info, and you'll get a following. One day you may become the sports-writer that everyone tunes in to every time you write an article.
