Totally true @wakeupsheeps
Like every new Steemian the possibility of being paid for posting content was what attracted me to Steemit, but when I came here and found out that the number one thing was community development , I changed my mentality and went to work.
I realized quickly that I better start reading and learning how to work on this platform if I were to gain any traction. I thank folks like @ogochukwu, @papa-pepper, @kyriacos, @aggroed and many others for taking the time to help those new to steemit. There is no point unleashing 100,000 new users into the site, who never learn the proper ways to steem.
