You are right dude, engaging with the community is key in order to enjoy our stay here in steemit.
I saw a great phrase I don’t remember in which post that said something like ”in steemit, you come for the money, and stay for the community”
Which also makes sense because any person curious / smart enough to be on steemit at its early stage must surely be an interesting individual :D
I think this is a great was of putting it as well. The possible money is what brought me here, but instead of trying to think of posts that could make a ton of it, I find myself genuinely interested in what other people have to say. There are SO many interesting people here and there's so much you can learn and discover. I feel like I should have The Reading Rainbow song playing here lol!
I think that phrase is stated in the greeting guide people stumble upon when they join Steem. That statement is as true as it can get. :)
