I love this part

if the winds blow in the right direction, you can earn some money whilst doing so.

And also this part is very true

A quick glance at the low amount of engagement on most posts shows that Steem is sadly lacking on the audience front.

I'am agree with you sir, based on my observations and experiences during joining in steemit, there are still very few steemian who want to provide comment support in a post. This is either because they don't have time to read or don't know what to comment on.
