While it's hard to get ahead when one doesn't have money, the opportunities found here on Steemit ARE amazing, far more so than any other social media platform I inhabit.

Hell, the only reason why I even mess around with Facebook anymore is because it's still the "largest platform" out there, but like all things in my life I comically missed out on the Wild West frontier it once represented.

It used to be one could build a million followers within a week. Now?

No way to even contact one's current fans unless one pays up ad money. What's a poor artist to do?

This is why I have socioeconomic/class issues. >XD
