It's sad to see an author, sharing original content, promoting his work and get absolutely no recognition. Zerozone, you want to know why you have 0 votes eventhough you have been on top of the promoted page for a couple hours? Because your are of no value to people,they won't earn anything from your post, you have only 1 follower, whales won't upvote you, you are a nobody.For comparison, someone with 2800 followers received 116 votes in 4 min, and you know what? His post wasn't even promoted or read. Content quality don't matter on this site, most people don't read it anyway because if they did they would make less money as they would have less time to upvote other stuff. Some people earn 400 bucks for smoking a joint in a coffeeshop every day or posting charts from steemtools.com, they don't care about making more diversified or better content because a pic of weed is guaranteed 400 bucks.
Blog,earn is false advertisment. It should say build your followers, be friend with at least a whale, blog and earn.
There is clearly something wrong with how the upvote incentives work but no one says anything because the most vocal in this community are loving these rules, they are raking in massive amount everyday while the vast majority earn nothing, then people wonder why newbies are leaving and the price is tanking...

Regarding your post I upvoted for the effort and personal work but I am not sure the book sends the right message. I know it's sci fi but the subject is in connexion with some people's reality, not mine however. I don't believe this global warming narrative, there has been many scientific publication proving that ozone depletion theory is false. You can also read a book called "behind the green mask" by rosa koire if you want a different perspective on the subject.
