RE: People put a lot of effort in to their posts in hopes of making a few bucks and ZERO NADA NOTHING WTF!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that there is a lot of good content that goes unnoticed on steemit, that is why I'm doing my part as well in upvoting posts that went unnoticed or commenting on posts especially of new users to help them or get them encouraged. However it is pointless to do it for every post out there, just for the ones that are actually doing or trying to do something. You need to encourage effort and quality as this is what steemit currently needs.
I have been doing some experiments adding an external post view counter to some of my posts to see how many people actually read them for a day and I was surprised to see that there aren't that many reads. Seems like steemit also needs more users that actually check the Blog posts we put out there as with just about 20 views you cannot expect a post to be set in the trending, no matter how good or interesting it is, unless there is a whale that votes for it.
If you want to really contribute with your votes, here is a tip. Go through the Payout Time posts on steemit and vote for good posts that really went unnoticed before their first payout, I'm regularly doing this: https://steemit.com/you-matter/@cryptos/why-i-m-regularly-checking-the-payout-time-posts-on-steemit
So in short go out there and encourage peopel that show effort and quality in their Blog posts, as a long term investor in steemit this is what you should be doing on steemit... :)
ok thanks for the good advice
If more people with more voting power like you actually put it to good work here on steemit things can really get better for the authors that post good quality content or interesting things and feel discouraged by not getting noticed by anyone. No need to have a lot of mega whales, just more people with slightly more voting power and knowledge in a wider array of topics is what steemit currently needs to continue to grow properly. It is already getting quite a lot of new users on a daily basis, there is already a lot of good content being put regularly... now we only need more people with more power to actually make more of that good content more visible for everyone else.
Right Right.
appreciate it @cryptos We need more to think like you, and @juneaugoldbuyer and the others spreading the STEEMIT love.

Hey @cryptos, would appreciate your support too. Just made my first post, it's had a handful of votes but sadly now languishing in the land of the forgotten. It's a bit tongue in cheek, and hopefully will raise a smile. It's also intended to attract a few more Steem devotees, so please give it a look.

I've got a few more original ideas bubbling around that are itching to get themselves blogged... But not so sure I'll give them the attention they deserve if no one ever reads them. Thanks in advance for your help!
