I can't say how important this post is. Even though it's tagged humor, it's good advice.
Steemit can be everything you want it to be, but it's up to you to make it that way. Yes, there are "regulars". There are people with way more voting influence than you and it might make no sense to you what they vote on or why. You might feel like less than plankton compared to "whales" that make hundreds of dollars on what seems like very little work.
That said, don't let the regulars scare you off! It is possible to start from zero and build a reputation to start earning. If you want to become a regular, get involved with the community, help others and write about your passions.
It will be discouraging at first. You will invest time and effort into amazing posts that earn less than a penny while you watch someone post crap that earns $100. Keep in mind that with very few exceptions those $100 authors started right where you are!
Don't let the regulars scare you! Become a regular.

Yeah. Thank you. I am not worried. This is the first time in a long time I have been interested in social media. Maybe I see you around.
