RE: Steemit can be about more than just making money
In a poor and corrupt country like Indonesia, we as the people are very difficult to meet the needs of life. I work on a government-owned college campus as a staff, my monthly income is only US $ 130, poor living needs per day US $ 8. Steemit is a hope to meet the shortage of living expenses, but getting a reward in steemit is not easy. Heavier fighting in steemit than working real. For people who have a high SP, get a reward is very easy. Moreover, the minnows are trying to get the attention of the whale, but whale remains cool while laughing at the minnows.
Steemit is not an easy way, steemit is only for investors.
I don't think the whales are laughing at you. They may just be oblivious to the plight of others, but some want to make Steemit do good. There are lots of people from Indonesia on Steemit. They can work together to support each other in many ways. If you work on ways to get more people onto Steemit then I'm sure you will get support. You have to think about what value your content has for other people. There are plenty of contests and challenges you can use to get attention.
I realize it has not worked optimally. Some of us make a community of students and employees. But when they make a post no one appreciates, some of them have stopped. I will not stop despite living alone.
I also have a contest, maybe not lucky.
Man, 130$ a month is like being rich here! lol... My income as a physic teacher in the most important university in my country is about 2$ a month... you really dont know how is it to be in a poor country... Most people from my country will be happy with earning 10$ a month in steemit...
