Sure, however it is done in a non genuine way. For example "Wow I just found this platform and it is great" vs. " I was kindly invited here by the steemit crew to post" "I want to thank them for their offer to give me at least 100$ in steem for my #introduceyourself post"
Also this discussion goes in circles. As soon as anyone brings anything similar to this you get these responses "this is for profit" "you are against people earning" "you think everything is unfair" which is very far from the truth given that I am simply pointing out how it is under the surface. Then there are these comments which contradict the above claims "you shouldnt join steemit to make money" "you shouldnt think of steemit as a job" "you shouldnt look at the big picture two years isnt that much" all endorsing the idea of NOT getting paid, so here if you point out the facts of what is going on , you lose.

You're right! It looks like there is always a reason for how things work on steemit, yet those reasons contradict each other, so what to believe and what to do? I'm curious about your motivations and strategy, would you tell me more?

Im here because I see so many people getting used. Getting used to keep the platform alive an paid almost nothing. If all the people here just made their own website they would be much better off and would have much lower risk. They would have that website for as long as they pay for the hosting and domain which is cheap and be the 100% owner of their content. Here the small people are needed to keep this going while the whales can cash out their weekly power down payout, without them it doesnt work. If you mention this it is called fud or that you are being negative, or they are "claims" but it is simply true.
