HAVE YOU EVER WRITTEN AN ARTICLE THAT IS STILL SEARCHED FOR ON GOOGLE?
Answer(a little in brief): I have. Steemit is a strong force now. People recognize the name and are developing a sense of familiarity which we have had earlier with wiki and encyclopedias. The blog space flourished in the early 2000s but later when it became difficult to earn money through adds and referrals it died.
Steemit is innovative, advanced, efficient and economic, BUT sometimes, some article has more reach and thought that the 'Steemians' cannot weigh in 7 days. It pays too less for an article which gathers more than 1k views in nearly a quarter.
Well that is how it is...
