Can you look at trending section and tell me how many 'quality' post are there making thousands of dollars? Some of this are just introducing themselves (wow,their introduction are so full of quality). So what is wrong here? The problem lies with focusing on steem power. Even if you have quality post, you need to have a way to mingle with users with high steem power to upvote your contents. Else you would be earning close to zero with your post and wasting your life away making others rich. This is typical of a MLM marketing Company setup. Look at Herbal life who is currently being sued in USA. And study their model. If Steemit is not careful, it can easily falls into this trap. Not saying that Steemit is a scam but going in the wrong direction can creates greed that causes people to do wrong things. Especially when there is no authorities governing steemit.
