Hello @mikefrancis, I wish to say somethings to you:

• You just joined and you are expecting millions, do you know that this is not a get rich quick scheme?
• How much do you think some of the whales you are insulting have invested so that this is even possible?
• Is there a law that says you cannot leave steemit at any point in time if you so wish?
• Some whales came into this system with nothing and sweat their asses off before they made it, they did not insult, they networked and worked hard, why not do the same?
• Do you know even on facebook people even get 1 like on a post?
• Do you expect mediocrity to be rewarded? I just visited your blog and I am sorry to say that as a curator, I cannot even give 1% to most of your posts.
• Now why do people share their facebook links on other sites? It is called networking, which is the fastest way to grow.
• There is no restriction on freedom of speech here, but freedom after speech is another issue.
• You barely write ten lines in your posts, even five lines, be realistic, can you even give yourself a vote if you were in their shoes?
• Your posts are plagiarized, no image references, wrong tagging and worst of all no creativity, how do you expect votes?
• Instead of asking people how you can get better, you chose to rant about not making money for creativity. I pity you.
• I can categorically say you are a plagiarist and a lazy author.
• The day facebook starts rewarding people for original content, you are on your way out

For peddling wrong info and slander, I have decided to flag you, do not throw stones if you live in a glass house.

Edit: I am also flagging you for hate speech and trolling.
