I started out here very excited and optimistic, with a ton of energy and great ideas, but with payouts continually dropping, and very few views I've started to feel like I'm running out of steem. Is this going anywhere? Or am I just investing massive amounts of time writing quality articles to have them fall under a stack of hundreds of other articles. I shouldn't need to use Bots to increase view-counts. Is SEO the problem here? Am I just burned out and need to take a few days away from Steemit?
I've started to get a little frustrated seeing people who post like 1 article and come from youtube and already have a higher rep than I do on here. Does it make sense? Is Steemit just about luck? Does my contribution to the community even matter? Will Steemit be run by advertisers in the future? Will greed completely ruin steemit? I have so many questions. How do you feel about Steemit? How do you feel about the community? Are you experiencing burnout?
