I tried to make a few quality posts that took a lot of time to write but apparently this is not what the community is looking for. I'm a bit disappointed, so what I did was to transfer all my SBD's to another member and stop trying to make SBD's for myself by producing quality articles. Why did i transfer my SBD's ? Because the fact that i have dormant money on here makes want to come and try again, by donating this money, i don't have anything to lose anymore. And yes i'm too lazy to understand how to cash out the money on the exchanges, i believe it's difficult for a reason, the big boss don't want us to cash out. And yes i saw the post about a grandpa who cashed out, well, i don't have enough time and motivation to do all of that stuff for 800 USD. My bad, absolutely. My intention was not to cash out any money from here anyway. **The 3 articles i wrote :** https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@najoh/crypto-currency-the-ultimate-future-currency https://steemit.com/ethereum/@najoh/ethereum-explained-for-beginners https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@najoh/experience-the-world-of-digital-currency-bitcoin Steemit seems to be only about creating *celebrities* and the so called *reputation* to then be able to make some money. But that reputation is only in the hands of a few and if you don't agree with their view of the world you won't get any. And this is not what I want and what I thought of a decentralized community. Instead of chaos and anarchy we have an elite running the platform that up vote only based on their own interest. They up vote members who promise to bring their followers to Steemit but they won't up vote any of those followers. The promise to blog and use this platform as the new Facebook to make money is not true, I haven't seen any post *Facebook like* getting any money lately. Steemit is the new platform of the elites who want to get rewarded for whatever they post while the community is urged to power up so the elite can power down and cash out some real money to be spent in the real world. Also, Steemit doesn't allow you anymore to delete your content and pictures, meaning that once you post it, it's on here forever even if you didn't get paid for it. Those 3 articles of mine i can't delete them anymore, Steemit doesn't care about author rights and copyrights. They take your content and that's it.

I can understand the concerns. I think those who support Steemit and make a post about how great decentralization is and Steem are the ones getting the most support. I have one of my friends who has been here for a while, I can't consider them big, but he's garnered over 25,000 Steem power (im still trying to understand everything). I don't think you should give up on it so soon, since the system is in 'beta' or so they say. Perhaps in the future it'll be more helpful, plus, right now, I follow some people but I don't think it actually helps just yet. There is no stream for us to see the content of those we follow unless you happen to find it randomly on whats trending or see what's new. Overtime you'll be able to garner more power for yourself and maybe whatever you upvote or maybe post as an article will get more support.

Maybe, but for the moment I believe it's better to give up. Also i really don't like the fact that you can't delete what you post.

I agree with you 100% But Steemit is still in Beta, maybe in the future more features to fix these kind of issues.

I think we're seeing steemit the community deciding what it wants. My worry right now is the front page of steemit doesn't seem to be filled with posts that would atract a general audience. Imo this will change if steemit takes off.

What are the target audience of your articles? They are too basic for people who are already deep within the cryptosphere and too complex and technical for those who are just here for breasts and daytrade. To delete your posts, can't you just "edit" and replace the contents with a massive photo of a middle finger?

You can't edit posts once payout is past.

Hi najoh, I understand your frustration and I am yet to see much return in the time I have spent so far. It can be frustrating to see some of the posts get big payouts but I strongly believe that this platform has potential so I am going to stick at it for longer. You're articles were really good by the way. Don't give up just yet.

I sympathise with what you are saying. Hopefully things will improve with time as more people join and become active. Right now everyone is too reliant on the whale vote.
