I read about half of this post and skimmed through the rest... I like the idea, I don't know if I'm going to take part (I'm struggling making my own posts as is.)
But I agree that steemit isn't newbie friendly at all and we need groups to tell people the right way to use it. at least the right way to not get harmed.
Sadly, where there's money involved, there will be the big players who'll harm everyone in their way to get it.
You will find the more you give the more you receive in life. Hope you find a way to take part.
Could not have stated better myself!
