Yeah, I think you're right... Which is sad. Steemit is not the easiest place to earn money and you will not become a millionaire or be able to buy a new car in three days. However, Steemit gives us a superb opportunity to have an impact and to earn something from out contributions. Each cent is more than we would have earned from Facecrap, twatter or youboob but I also think that is feeding the greedy behaviour.
