i think the best option to succeed in steemit is for one to know his strenghts and weaknesses and area he can blog best... most people jump into crypto because of the population of successful steemians with little or no info or impact there... PEST is also an issue...most of us steemians has economic issues as such they bring it to steemit begging for followership and upvotes pissing would be upvoters off... and will you blame them? maybe not because of political and social limitations... for instance those living in Venezuela with harsh political and economic realities and some in Asia and Africa... sometimes we have to use empaty in judging fellow steemians...considering maybe we are fortunate to be in a saner clime...
thanks once more for this post @charles1 worthy of my upvote
