Here is the problem: https://steemit.com/steemit/@extie-dasilva/the-anomoly-of-the-usd15-000-steemit-post

I believe that emphasising the big payouts that precious few of us can ever realistically hope to achieve causes people to have a negative feeling toward their work when in fact it makes tiny monetary rewards. One is bound to feel something of a failure when hearing that Steemit is where you get thousands of dollars for posting content but the reality for most is rewards counted in cents not dollars. Me, I just take whatever positive comes my way (nice replies, upvotes, more followers) and not just the money, which only rarely remotely compensates for the time and effort I put into my posts.
