Well written post. Tells it all. But at times I feel that when you write a post it is all about who you know on steemit. People with high SP try not to upvote at all but gain others votes. It does take the encouragement away from the ones who cannot write smartly, but they try. Yes people do make money on steemit. Not equally. Same way is in life when people have management jobs and labor jobs. Does steemit play the roll of minimum wages? ☺
