I have just read pinkieladie's post and I so agree with her comments. I try and pass on information in a very interesting and well formatted way; I never just have the information itself, I always add other content to make it more interesting for the general reader. I post twice a day and enjoy doing so. I actively involve myself with other's work and communicate positively. I always reply to comments made and interact fully with them. What happens? I get 9 votes!
Pinkielady stated that other's posts are viewed consistently, and get many votes. I cannot believe at times some of the regular 'established' 'posters'; they put several images on a post with insignificant content and get hundreds of votes, and post several times a day....how and more importantly, why?
Be careful steemit. You say that you want a developing sight which brings in good content. Well, I am frustrated and beginning to think I will look else where because it seems only the established 'old timers' are given any support. I would be happier if they took the time to read and vote on 'newbie' posts to encourage them, instead of 'hogging' the voting site. Please understand, the money element is nice, however, I am more frustrated by the lack of people viewing and voting on the work I have spent some time developing and posting to the site.
I leave this with you.
