Thank you ervin-lemark. I started out of curiosity and because of my own learning needs. I wanted to understand if people new to Steemit can become successful authors and what it will take. On the other hand I am curious why whales would not love this analysis? They are the biggest investors in this community and their investments only pay back if their are able to attract new authors. If they cannot show that new authors have a chance on this platform who wants to join in the future?
