I came to this platform without any reference, I'm not friend of any whale, nor do I belong to a self voting circle; yet, I´m close to reaching 10k Hive, and I've seen over and over again good content from new users and old users getting rewarded.

You are suppose to get rewarded for contributing to the platform

You are not entitled to anything when posting; you are supposed to SHARE content, whatever comes in your way after that is a bonus. Again and again I see that same mentality on and off chain: it's not what I have, it's what this and that have and I don't have equal because X.

Just my two cents.
