I have to agree with @raised2b. Steemit is a whole lot better than Facebook or Twitter. Those platforms will sell you into slavery. Realistically it takes years to develop a significant following. What all the top content producers have in common is that they didn't quit. Here you are only a couple of months in complaining which suggests to me unrealistic expectations.

In my field, it took me 10 years to finally make a living out of what I was doing. This is typical. Once you have that frame of mind, you'll see that Steemit is not bad at all and light years ahead of Facebook.
