Part of the problem with Steemit is the interface. There is a lot that could be done to better syndicate content. It is too hard to get noticed and there are too few people with the clout to make a difference for the vast majority of content. The influence is not well balanced. Since there is not a great way to aggregate content if you don't happen to hit with a piece early and happen to catch the eye of some of the chosen few then you are likely to never be seen. I choose to post because I find that writing is its own reward. But we are going to loose many fresh voices because they don't have a pot story or don't have make up tips.
