Hey @beestrong welcome to steemit! I agree with a lot of what you say and I think your success on the platform depends a lot on your definition of success. I am not an expert on steemit as I only joined just over five months ago but I've met some cool people. I am not quite sure how I stumbled upon them but I did (as I stumbled upon this post and now got to know you). I think you need to treat it like any other social media if you don't plan to generate any real income from it but if you do plan to use it to make money, having some SP really helps and there is no way around investing tons of time. I don't want to plug my post here in your blog but if you are interested in seeing if my friends are people you would get along with, please drop by and see what we are talking about. I think it will be relevant to you after reading your post.
Look forward to seeing you around.
xx Lucy

Cheers @lucygarrod
Kind of where i am at.
Please drop me your blog. Id love to read it.
Im kind of rolling this way...
if someone connects with me and really talks to me as you have and a few others, then I reply with same consideration and appreciation.
I @ their name and press their little green arrow-upvote(in the hope that this is a helpful thing to do re steem etc)
I then go check out their blog and look for commonalities, vibes, opinions.
I read some of their content, maybe add at least one comment if of value and I do often follow.
And that is about all i feel qualified to do.
I do know how to @ other people to give them credit and connection if i think they can assist another user and thats about it right now
Gonna be looking into discord

Hey Barbara,
I don't post that often but here are a couple of posts you might find interesting. They aren't big money spinners (as you'll see ;) ) but I enjoyed the human interaction - met some new people :)

See you soon
