This "Dark Age" & My Dream - An Application to The Alliance
This "Dark Age"
Like many others, I joined Steemit after being attracted to the default promotional word on every article…

I joined! And similar to other good souls on Steemit, I tried to create my own original articles, things that will bring additional value to Steemit, contests that I’ve joined, or just things that interest me in my life. I’ve carefully written them, using the best possible spelling checker and grammar checker as I’m not that fluent in English. An article usually took two to four hours of creation time.
I then posted them with the hope that each one of my articles is going to earn me hundreds of dollars. I mean, I’ve seen memes from dMania was earning hundreds of dollars, so, my beautifully written and useful article should worth more right? Oh, how I’ve been so wrong! Each of them is, on average, of half a dollar. Yeah, my four-hour work, the fruit of my mind, each is only worth $0.5. Sometimes even less than that.
It’s like how @CrimsonClad, the senior moderator from Minnow Support Project said
”I have been singing the best song of my life, to an empty auditorium!”
A Glimmer of Hope
How do I find out?
Why I want in?
By browsing the “trending” page of Steemit, most newcomers will understand that there are “Whale Wars” on Steemit. Whales, orcas, dolphins, and minnows are forming factions and have flagging wars. This actually terrifies me. I may accidentally comment “Good article, I like it” to a member of one faction and then get flagged down by the members of opposing faction. It’s very scary out here. I would need a community where I can grow safely. I would need a support group. I would need a community. I would need The Alliance.
My Dream
What can I do?
So here I am, standing and knocking the gate of The Alliance. Will I get to see you dream come true?

@liberviarum HAHA I feel that! I get paid like less than a quarter for some of my posts that take hours to write up. It's a struggle, but much of this is probably correlated with the recent downturn in the crypto markets as well. I take comfort in knowing that we must keep it up and we will reap great rewards in a year from now when crypto and Steemit start getting alot more attention. It's ashame of these flagging wars, I'm not trying to get caught in random turf wars lmao!
Sincere, thank you for applying!
Thx for another informative post. Easy to read.
Please continue up with creating interesting content - it may be hard at the beginning to build reach and solid followers base.
Steemits needs solid content builders so just dont ever give up! :)
