Hmm @awolesigideon you have provided a very interesting rant!!
In reply to disgust over the set up with minnows grovelling and kissing bums just to get money: what the hell do you expect??? This cryptocurrency site is based on finance; no matter which financial site you go to there will be the newbies (minnows) kissing arse to get a foot up. It's the same everywhere!!
As for recognition for work: bulldust!! There are writers groups (I'm with the freeweriters and love it) there's photography groups etc with seniors supporting newer members. The new members have to get off their bott and research and find these groups. And there's competitions etc So don't tell me me that minnows aren't being given opportunity (they are) while whales are holding onto their cash (it's their doh - they can keep it if they choose!) I have no complaints with Steemit - but each to their own!! 😁
