Hey asshole! You said exactly what I needed to hear, and you know what? I really appreciate that. I'm still learning steemit, but I have noticed these things you're talking about and yeah, it seems quality doesn't always come out on top, it's all about someone marketing themselves the best, getting enough attention, and even if their post or book or whatever is crap, if it's wrapped up pretty or has a great click-bait title then the dumb masses go for it and give it the attention (and / or money).
