Relax and look at this open field while thinking of your next post : ) There posts out there about people becoming discouraged and not wanting to create more content due to some posts being overvalued while many get lost in the shuffle. That is the last thing you want to do. The first thing you should know is that Steemit is the first decentralized social media platform ever. For people that have been into crypto and Bitcoin, it has been a long time coming waiting for an app or website that could potentially bring crypto to the masses. For those of you reading this post and have an account you are in early. New technology usually has its fair share of growing pains and it takes a bit of patience while it works itself out.
Another thing to consider is reading the White Paper, great information about the intent of the designers and how amazing it can be. Steemit is designed to handle unlimited users and unlimited content while being sorted out with algorithms that act in an almost empathetic way. Altruism in software is very new and has amazing capabilities when put to use. The issue right now is that there are a lot of early adopters that have significant amount of Steem Power making their voting weight significantly higher than new users. I believe this will change and it will change as more and more people come onto the platform. Right now Steemit has a fraction of the social media population. When people on the big social media platforms realize they can make money while sharing their original content with like minded people they will come in great numbers. As this happens, voting should balance out.
SUMMARY
Steemit is groundbreaking technology in its infancy and you have a front row seat. We are building the platform together everyday.

If you follow the above you will enjoy yourself and not be concerned about monetizing your experience. It is cathartic to share and cathartic to reward, so this is a perfect place. If you keep posting while having fun then you have lost nothing and the money will follow. Laws of attraction will work in your favor : )
