I totally agree with you! I showed of my project steempages.com yesterday and got 4 cents and 9 upvotes for it: https://steemit.com/steemit/@millen/steempages-com-a-steemit-business-and-project-directory-beta . I felt devastated when I woke up and saw that nothing has changed, I worked countless of hours on it. Maybe I should just rethink my strategy and start taking pictures of buds to get an juicy upvote from @berniesanders . Great article @hitmeasap !
