The whales conspiracy theories-- Ever wondered why your not making money? Because your still thinking these Steemit conspiracies exists and here's what you need to know
https://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/pyramid.jpg

So here we are everyday sitting in front of the main page wondering why haven't I made it there yet. So we start thinking about hundreds of possible reasons that turns us into professional conspiracy theorists. 

## "They don't want me to get rich" 

Well technically , If I was a whale I would direct my upvotes toward articles that can bring the most exposure to the outside world. Let me explain. Blogging about your life, how your travel was providing pictures and updates where ever your going. This is what steemit needs right now since It is selling the platform to the outside world letting them know "hey look how easy it is to earn here, simply share your story as genuinely as possible and you can earn with us"
This is indeed what got me to join steemit in the first place, when I saw these makeup videos , It was obvious to me that everyone could make money with about any kind of content. Steemit is like a discrimination-free platform.

## "They can't recognize good content"

Actually I think some can't indeed , but most of them just don't care how good your content is. In fact most of them probably ignore what you wrote because they skiped your article after looking at the title. They already know they are not interested in your article. It doesn't mean your article is not interesting, it only means you did not catch their attention. But here's what, quality content is always king and the way I see steemit grow it feels more and more like people are falling less and less for dummy content such as 2-3 lines of text with a picture. I have seen a couple ones and I myself wonder why would someone upvote this 2 lines of text for a 500$ upvote, but that's what you will be able to do once you get to their level of steem power. Once your there no one can really question what you do with your steem power, since it is YOUR steem power.


## "If I was a girl I'd be fuckin rich" 

No!you wouldn't be and as a fact you can see hundreds of girls blogging without results, because they think just like you. " hey ill put on a skirt , a few sexy pics a catchy title and ill get rich" actually it did happen a few times but I personally believes those voting for empty content promoting sexy girls are rigging the platform. I do believe from my own opinion of course some whales are spreading steem power among their 2nd 3rd 4th account but I will keep this to a minority of greedy whales because most of the whales I have seen so far are moderately voting good content.

In conclusion, I will say it is true that the platform at the moment is unstable filled with spams and people trying to cash in on 2 lines of blogging but this is mostly due to the excitement the most recent price explosion has caused. This brings us to articles that earned over 30 000 in a single day , this was the direct effect of an over exited community. I believe this community is growing well and in the right direction and we will gradually wake up to a mature and greed free community.

For me, the problem happen when people try to create viral content instead of something that have value. For something been valuable doesn't mean to be superb blaster creative or original, but delivery what people want to see at that moment. 
I tried to start a conversation about motorcycles (I guess I was the first in this category), I published some pictures of my old Harley and even believing I did something good and entertaining I don't get any attention. It is too hard to be loud in the crowd. Keep trying!

Actually i believe this is due to your topic " motorcycle" This community is small and most people in are cryptoers. The more the community grows the more your "motorcycle" market will grow If i can say this like that. Right now travel is something that can easily reach a lot of people even those that have never been  travelling.

Yeah you right. My next post I will talk about my last motorcycle trip. I have done a 900 miles trip with a small scooter. Let's see if this one gets more traction.

I am waiting for that to happen soon. I wish quality content starts getting some recognition. Only then a person like me can really benefit from this platform.

I am not denying that good content is not at all recognized. Just that it needs to be a bit more diverse.

Right now I believe the main problem is diversity, we have a crowd of members that are seeking to expose certain kind of blogs but with more people getting in the interest for diferent topic will grow. Im pretty sure we early birds will benefit from this platform in the long run.

People are realizing that if you vote for crap you will get crap.  Also they starting to realize that they are voting for their money and not someone else. When you vote crap, that's less money available their golden content.  Since everyone can make crap, you are competing against everyone. If your content is truly good then there are far less people you are competing against because not everyone can create good content.

Great post.    I'm trying to stop some of the anti-whale, no fair posts.

EDIT: One girl/woman posted about 5 posts one day... starting in some nice clothes and proceeding in the pictures to pretty much show it all.   I at least took the time to post and let her know that those type of posts are currently getting down voted to oblivion due to no filter to let people opt into NSFW content.  SORRY GUYS,   I killed off some of your opportunities to see stuff.   Actually, I didn't down vote them.  I just informed them of why they were not making money, and if they were going to show that much then I thought they should probably know it wasn't going to work.   LOL

decent whale bait . surprised none has caught yet. usually these posts delegitimizing critics work well. I guess there's been too many of these kind of posts  lately.
