OK, so I am getting a little bummed today. I have tried to post quality content, a variety of topics, and I guess I posted too much but I have not posted spam. I post almost all original work, and I try to comment on interesting things I see go by...
Then I see brand new people come by and introduce themselves with reputation scores nearly as high as mine on their first post! I have been asking about it, and it seems that all you have to do is have a whale upvote one comment, and suddenly you have a great reputation?
Your #1 thing here echoes that... "Start networking with influencers." Well, newbies do not know who influencers are, and if newbies cannot help other newbies to make it to "hot" and "trending" topics, then there is little hope that any new users will become "influencers" on their merits, it will turn into a whale blowing contest...
Anyway, I appreciate your input, and the input of those who are trying to help me understand. Oddly, my lesson for today is post less, and only comment on people who are already successful and do not really need my support...
Perhaps I ought to become one of those people who ends every post with "follow me, I will follow you, upvote me and resteem me please!" but that is not my style... Maybe I will close my posts like this from now on:
"I give great whale head!"
LOL!

Yeah, I totally hear you... I've been on steemit for about 3 and half months and made tons of connections in a short period of time.
I beleive in you, just remember this is just a social media platform just like facebook, and upvotes are just extra.
Keep on the gray posts and I'll be looking forward to reading your blogs 😀
:) Thanks
