@thecrytotrader, I think most of us do not understand what steemit is all about and rather focus on the monetary aspect than the information and promotions of steem. Most steemites dont read posts anymore because they have grouped themselves for an upvote for upvote and follow for follow on facebook, telegram and other social network. That is why posts will practically no info will be getting an upvote because it is an obligation to upvote anything to get an upvote back. Meanwhile a good and quality post will be having less views and few or no upvote. Priority has been misplaced.
I joined such group as a newbie thinking it was an orientation group and a means to chat with others and gain followers until I startef making post and having less than 10 views and lesser, I discovered it was a misplaced priority
