Where is the beauty of steemit?

I thought this platform is ideally a place where writers and creative individuals showcase what they've got to as many people willing to read....

But the feeling to me has changed seeing the way, some steemians have formed a gig to enrich themselves. As a result, no more fair upvote or downvote.

Today, new comers on the platform can't survive the heat of neglect they experience. I think upvote or downvote is a means for anyone to ascertain his or her level of progress and intellectual growth which I bet JUST upvote is for sale.

Let's tell ourselves the undeniable truth.... is steemit for real?

We mustn't allow the dream of the founders of this platform suffer any flaw further,
