Every single one of his posts have earned him money, he doesn't really know what it is to be the average user on steemit. I am starting to wonder how do I get enough attention to my work and have realized that people pay more attention to steemit related subjects than what makes the individual steemit user unique. Seems like writing stories barely got me a few $ and the only real money I have been rewarded was by adressing a steemit related subject in one of my early articles. Thats another flaw in the system if you ask me. You often see the same people coming back on the top page, wondering if they are making it there because of their content or because of their name. Let me tell you, If I was the one who wrote what you just have written, your message would have been unheard.

That is because he's not an average blogger off Steemit. The people who are able to do well on Steemit from the beginning are people who already have an audience, a large social network, a lot of connections, a lot of resources, and it's no different than if someone brings a lot of Bitcoins to buy Steem Power directly. In this case it's people who are bringing celebrity status and social power from other places such as the anarchist community. It's valuable to Steemit so Steemit rewards it. If any celebrity posts on Steemit it will be heavily rewarded at this early stage. So who is to blame if the other celebrity types refuse to post on Steemit? Bring your favorite celebrities to Steemit and upvote them.

This has been true, but it is changing quickly. Most whales are not voting on Steemit-related posts anymore; they are trying to elevate other content. It just takes time for the SP to be more widely distributed. @kuriko I am sending you a direct message through the chat site to discuss your blog.

Is the goal to spread SP widely or should SP go to people who bring the most positive attention and resources to Steemit? If it's about bringing value to Steemit then you cannot deny that Dollar Vigilante is bringing value, even if it's measured under the political anarchist spectrum. If in theory someone could convince Elon Musk to post on Steemit then we wouldn't be shocked if Elon Musk immediately got lots of upvotes. It's not a bad thing either because if Elon Musk is impressed by Steemit then he may tell his friends and that is good. It is harder for minnows, for people just starting out, for people new to cryptocurrencies, and some whale power should be dedicated to searching for quality posts among minnows. I just don't think it should be at the direct expense of quality posts from celebrity posters or from established posters. It creates direct animosity if you say you're robbing peter to pay paul, or taking from Dollar Vigilante to spread the wealth to unnoticed minnows. Instead, it should be that you solve the underlying problem of attention scarcity among the whales. Solve that and the minnows will be noticed more. Over time as whales power down the problem will solve itself because more people will have enough SP to make a difference for a blogger, if and only if the price of Steem continues to rise in the future.

Same goes here. My technical analysis get little to no rewards and the same guys get rewarded all the time.

Most average writers will never see the main page or "trending page". There is a growing talent entering the Steemit Community everyday and I don't expect to compete with these brilliant writers and bloggers. What I do think I can do in compete in my area of interest or my hobby. Maybe then I can make it to the "trending" page under MY category. That is definitely more realistic in my opinion.
