RE: Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Create And Publish Your Steemit Articles?
I have been around for 6 months and am beginning to find the ROI as far as time is spend is almost not worth it. I run 2 separate accounts, write biographies and run contest but there is just no getting ahead unless you have some heavies upvoting your posts! The masses on steemit will never be able to use the income derived here to pay their bills. Whales are upvoting whales with 300STU at a time and the smaller people get ignored. Voting bots mostly end up costing money instead of boosting your account. Why am I still around you may ask? well I enjoy the interaction with people and I actually enjoy what I am doing, but as far as time invested goes, it does not pay, not for my time anyway.
Well, if nothing else I can agree with you that if I would have to pay my bills and rely only on my earnings from Steemit, unfortunately, they wouldn't get paid (or at least not by now and regularly).
Although, I wouldn't say that "masses will never be able to use" it that way. Of course, that also depends on what kind of masses are we talking about. If masses would be a big amount of people who would like something for nothing overnight or even better right away after they show up on the platform, than I can agree with you entirely - it would never happen.
But good and original content creators, community contributors, inspirational motivators and similar, in the end, and through time, I believe, they would find the way to float on the surface, although it's true that many such ones but currently smaller ones are overlooked or even ignored.
As well, I wouldn't put all the whales in the same category, as there are many good, hardworking and in many ways contributing members among them. Unfortunately, the bad examples always strike above.
I can also agree with you regarding voting bots as I find them as the pure paid advertisement. The only reason why they don't appear as such to many is in the fact that they don't tell us exactly for this amount of money (STEEM/SBD) you will get the upvote of that specific worth. Instead, they appear to be more like some "cash back" debit or credit cards who would return a certain portion of the paying amount back to you. But this way or another, we would end up paying that product, service or what so ever. From my point of view, the same applies to the bots here.
bots are like a casino, if you lucky you win, but mostly you loose. lol. Its a gamble.
