It is very easy for Big fishes and whales to pick a topic and it will definitely be acceptable. But for the 2nd waves of users like me who joined early this year, i find it synonymous to Reputation as to how post get recognition.

I have researched on posts for days, and when i post i see few views while someone will just culled a video out of nowhere and get thousands of views.

I think audience are more glued to randomness than looking for actual good post to read.

And to the newbies lacking post to create, i think there orientation about Steemit is misplaced. I have tried to coach some from my minnow's point of view and i hope they improvised.

I have improvised since my 3week on steemit back in March and till now it is still same sobg and dance!
