Rewardss as a thing to pursue in crypto adds an unnecessary layer of complication

You can't just expect for anyone to come here and earn rewards automatically. That would be extremely unsustainable. So yes, while I agree it is difficult to earn rewards at the start, that is not a reason to just discard the platform as a whole. It is not a matter of who is rich and who is poor, it is a matter of who is producing quality content. I'm not just saying it to counter your argument, I am saying it because I have seen it first hand how when one produces quality content regularly earns a fortune!

Having said all that, is the platform perfect? No, far from that.

It can be difficult to get noticed, but that's because a lot of new (I will not use the term poor, I don't like the way you are singling out poor people not getting rewards. Again, it's not about poor or not, it's about lack of quality content) users are coming here expecting they'll start earning money from day 1 and don't have the patience when that is not the case. Next, they do not engage via meaningful interaction with the established users. And finally a lot of people think posting 5-6 posts might earn them money which results in them churning out shitpost after shitpost and when no one rewards shitposts, they get frustrated.
