I finished reading a good critique of Steemfest by @dannyshine and I think it's probably time to go looking for people who can disrupt Planet Steem. The last thing I want to read on here are a bunch of placating, soft, please-upvote-me kind of posts written by sycophant and echo-chamber dull voices.
Because people are more incentivized to write fake, feel-good, non-critical posts that avoid taking a deep dive into the not so attractive aspects of Planet Steem, I've decided to find 2 disruptors and delegate 5,000 SP to each of them.
My reason?
I consider myself an investor (and a rebellious person) and I want to do everything in my power to improve this place. I see signs of it falling into apathy, greed and disinterest at the top. I must confess, I was blind to this until recently, but I have spent hours and hours reading endless comments from decent people saying that they no longer appreciate being an untouchable in this particular caste system. I personally see the platform improving, and I don't have a pessimistic view, but as a person who practices constant improvement in life, I am open to hearing the criticisms. And I am equally open to taking actions. A lot of people once they get power become deaf to bad news. I think I was in that category at one time because I wanted to believe in the dream. I still believe in the dream, and I will continue doing so.....WITH MY EARS OPEN.
I need to do something in order to get dissenting voices out in the open.
I realize newbies can use MinnowBooster to get their posts noticed, but people like me (I would feel a level of shame in doing this practice), who don't like to pay to get noticed need some other way. That's why delegating 5000 SP to 2 people seems like a decent option. (By no means a perfect option, but something I can do today, to maybe make a small difference).
So, what am I looking for?
I am looking for intelligent people with guts.
If I had to choose between intelligence and guts, I'd go with guts. I spent a good chunk of life being a spineless scaredy cat. Guess what? Those years were a total loss. ZERO.
Because I slayed a lot of my internal spineless demons, I have a severe distate for cowardice, middle of the road, boring, and unchallenging writing/thinking. I have a constant need to read challenging and disruptive work.
Don't confuse being a disruptor with being a troll.
They are very different things, obviously. I am not looking for people who attack others and regularly mudsling. I'm looking for people who are simply unafraid to state the facts as they research and dig. And who come up with creative solutions too. Or who are unafraid to make satirical, cutting comics that are so good because they cut so deep.
So here's what you need to do:
Look around and if you find a courageous rebel who is not afraid to tell truth and has an appetite for risk and disruption, send me a message in Steemit Chat or post the link below. I'll be taking a few weeks to make a decision. I want to leave the time frame open ended, but 2 weeks sounds good to me. Send me links to their articles. If you think I just described you, send me a link to your work.
PLEASE NOTE: I will not be upvoting the articles you send me, so don't send me articles in the hopes I'll upvote them. I am looking for content, and substance, PROOF OF PERSON.
Ok, carry on. Thanks for reading and commenting post-length comments these last few days. I appreciate every comment and I read them all (even if i didn't reply.). It may seem like I'm stirring the pot, but really, I sense that I am opening my eyes to the reality that escapes most of the big fish on here. I have the investors and the big fish in my best interest actually, because just like everyone else, I do want to see the price of Steem go up. Steem is what we have in common, but how we create value is what I'd like to focus on moving forward. This is my first bold step in that direction...(actually 2nd, since I delegated SP to paulag). Delegation will last for 2 months approx.
I hope you send me challenging stuff.......(please no milque toast).
Stellabelle
i appreciate you for what you're doing, thanks for having people like us in mind..here is a link to my post...

Well Stella, I have always looked up for you and from 2 month I am fighting to give a voice to the suppressed and depressed...Now I have taken up a cause to clean steemit by exposing steemit corruption.
Anyone can use @voiceshares to voice out their findings of corruptions and we will soon be started some ground breaking expose lined up!!
The only difference between you and me is you are senior with much more SP .... @voiceshares thinks like you and even if a voiceshares supporter is the culprit we wudn spare them.
Check Out Our Recent post
Steemit Leaks #1: A Minnow's Open Letter To Whales Who Sell Themselves To Bots For Money - Steemit On A Suicidal Mission!!!
I don't know if you will consider us to join you in the fight.... but with or without you we will fight the cause ... and it aligns with what you believe in.... have a good day
did you read my reply?
I did stella, I was going through the analysis....I will soon revert with my opinion on the findings... gald to connect with you for this cause...keep up the job going :)
Post on organic curation Vs Bot curation was real eye opener, I wish people see this and I see no way how a bot can replace human in any way.... lets keep the fight on!!
ironically, I have programmed a bot to upvote a list of authors, but I do organic curation on this account.....I use a hybrid approach.
As long as you promote good content and not use bot for JUST personal gains we will support you and your initiatives stella...keep it going, we need people like you.
We are bringing out corruption here only to address it and solve discrepancies on platform to make it a better place, not like we have anythign against the platform in itself.
Thanks for the link drop on @voiceshares post 😁
Hydrid is best for sure - just takes a bit of vote power management.
This is why I don't bitch about the circle jerking whales, we are all doing it to an extent.
You need to support your 'community' with votes, and you need to save some energy and time to look for the young blood too.
@unami as a community bot and your main account seeking disrupters and boosting these guys is the way forward 👍🏾
I will be happy to have your opinion on this process

@stellabelle, as of late, I have been pondering the question of whether or not I'm ready to be part of yet another attempt at going on a "rescue mission" for yet another platform seemingly dead set on self-destructing in a cesspool of greed, spam and chaos.
The thing is, I really like this place. My hope is that enough other people also "really like this place" enough for there to be a realistic chance of revitalizing Steemit, the social platform.
I have little doubt that Ned and the Inc. are quite dedicated to making the Steem token a success... and that's on our (the social content creators') side in the sense that SMTs and any number of other bits may help stabilize the underlying currency... as a consequence of which this can still be a rewarding site.
I appreciate what you're trying to do here. Disruptors are not trolls. Disruptors point out that the Emperor is not wearing any clothes; trolls merely make fun of the emperor and then run away. More than anyone else on this platform, you set the tone for me in terms of "what the essence of Steemit is" with your post about this being a "gift economy." And we need to get back to that ideal, even if it mainly a group of Steemits primary "real" content creators.
And now, I shall go check my recent post comments for aspiring disruptors to propose here.
Heya Stella,
I saw that over on the VoiceShares post you mentioned Asher and his post about manual curation having a better return for abit. I think Paula was a terrific first choice, Asher would be a great choice as well. The drawback only being that he and Paula cross over so much in their work, that it might be duplicating efforts.
I'm willing to bet with a little thought I can come up with another name or two to throw at you with solid reasoning behind why they are disruptors. I just need to put my brain into it and do a little legwork on some blogs to make sure I am not recommending people who are going to fall in line with the system at the first sign of adversity...
Keep fighting the good fight! Sooner or later people will realize that the platform that is providing for them needs to be reformed if it is to succeed. Being a Disruptor could help that come sooner. Full support here!
ok please do. thanks
Thanks Mike!
You see it's really worth re-visiting posts throughout their active period - you may find awesomess like this :)
I agree we overlap each other somewhat, but 'compliment' could also be used! 😁
Well, you have not let me down @stellabelle I just referred to you in a post I made a few days ago. You ARE a straight-shooter:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@vickiebarker/30-day-steemit-review-integrity-inspiration-and-ideas
Have been on this platform for just over 30 days now and spent a great deal of that time wading through posts that had no meat. I'm hungry for content....good content that people can actually use.
It was not the cryptocurrency that lured me in (although I now see the importance of it) but was in fact the hopes of finding a new platform that would allow me to expand outreach and to coordinate with like minded people that work toward a more Fully Informed Public.
My interest in your give-away excites me because it may be that the more SP one has the more voting power is available. (I've not figured that part out yet but I think SP stands for Steem Power)
Like I said, I have spent an enormous amount of time sifting through posts looking for content. There are exceptional posts by incredible people on the Steemit platform wanting to make a difference in the world but as a little minnow I find there is never enough Steem Power in my wallet to make a vote really count.
My plans for how to best use Steemit as a resource for the coordination and information dissemination continues to grow. I would like to create a path for new Steemians I may invite which will make their experience a bit easier to get started. I do think at this point all the you upvote me, I upvote you BS would be a turn-off for many of these groups.
People are busy, we live in a precarious time. Those that are pushing themselves everyday to keep a good flow of information going are short on time. Anything we can do to make their experience more productive, we should do. I do thank you for all you do help us do better and to create a platform we can be very proud of.
Let peace be the journey!
Wow is not enough when I read what you wrote. I am amazed and feel blessed whenever I see people that makes me feel that there is hope for humanity. I really felt disillusioned yesterday when I read the truth that nobody wanted to say out loud. Appreciate the candor of the OP and it did bring this discussion of wanting to change things.
And here you are a person with so much beauty and compassion for her fellow man. We need more people like you in Steemit.
Honestly I could do away with selfies because I can look in Instagram for that. I came here to read, to know and learn new things about culture. To see how people live and record their lives through posts and to be inspired by people like you.
God you made me emotional here. A problem sir empaths like me we get too emotional at times. But thank for these words. They are a gift.
Sorry but here is a virtual hug from me.
#hug-challenge
Thank you @maverickinvictus I think it all boils down to the opportunity we can envision. This platform offers many options for the diverse users of this community. When people begin to "get out of the box" they will eventually see there "never was a box", it was only a perception they accepted as a limitation.
We, (you, me and everyone) have the ability to make the changes that are needed and each of us carry a piece to make it work for the greater good. Excited to be here with you.
We agree, we are a team of Latin technicians on the road of changing culture, later on be active on technical development on steemit, we have a initial proposal for this post-capitalist era with new subsequent vaues. It would be nice to work together
I think the biggest problem with finding disrupters is that steemit is designed to silence dissent. Flagging and down voting hurts people monetarily, and there is no requirement of justification or harm to people who do the downvoting. Often, people will downvote simply because they disagree, and if you catch negative attention from a whale, you might as well quit steemit. It's not that it takes balls to dissent- on steemit it takes cash, or at least a willingness to lose cash.
I watched this happen before my eyes while a group of people were attacking profiles from within steemit.chat.
There is certainly a line here.
¿Am I rebel enough for your taste my dear @stellabelle? «-or-» maverick, renegade and outlaw enough to challenge mainstream to suit your Disruptors, Critical, Creative & Independent Thinkers quest & call? }:)
While wandering naked out there i wonder:
¿How different the world would be if people did not limit themselves to expressing only what they think others want to hear? #disruptors
Good to see someone welcoming rebels and critics here in the hope to give more value to this platform and in turn increasing the price of Steem.
I love people with a different but logical take on critical issues, the ones who challenges the established populist notions while putting a convincing argument in their favour. Would like to follow people whom you delegate your power ...waiting for the results 😊
I think it is a first......haven't seen anyone search for disruptors...
Yep, congrats for being the first on this platform! A much needed initiative. You have earned my love and respect for this move. Hope you get real good ones, who can make people to look at things from an entirely different perspective. Best wishes for your initiative!
it makes happyness to know you care people who wrote you comments and delegating of your power is wise think tank and your greatness, thanks once again.
I appreciate this type of post so much especially coming from a more established user like you. I made my account a couple months ago because I saw a lot of potential with this concept, however I pretty quickly felt as though I couldn't make a real impact. More recently I've gotten back to writing and so I figured I'd try my hand at seeing how I can contribute to this ecosystem. I'm still learning about all the different aspects of the steem blockchain but I enjoy putting out pieces that discuss what most people aren't or won't. This is an article I wrote on the upcoming Segwit2x discussing some of the connections between the fork and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
I also have started a series on the economics of the blockchain and another on some of the disruptions it will cause both of which I will be continuing as semi regular posts.
Regardless of whether you decide to delegate for me or not I want to say I really believe in what you're doing here and I hope I can get to a position where I can make bigger and bigger contributions to this space.

That is the class of people that can keep a balance between being right and being wrong, being a fearles speaker and being able to be an active listener at the same time, commending and dis-commending!, that way we keep a balance to life on planet Steem!.@stellabelle, you make a good disruptor yourself. I have enjoyed reading your post this past days. Keep being Fearless!!
yeah, well, i have been fired from a few jobs due to my radical transparency and total disdain for liars! I get in trouble whenever I have a boss!!!!!
I understand the feeling, but it is far better to be bravely truthful than to be densely coward and unable to speak your mind and cents. There are a few boss who commend brave and truthful workers, sadly they are few. But then, we don't have to always fit into places that don't makes us happy or that enslaves our freedom. Be Blessed.
Hi. @stellabelle thanks for sharing you post. It is good.
What a great initiative @stellabelle and putting your SP where your mouth is.
We are certainly at a Crossroads for those that want fluffy prophets/profits here on steemit and those that see steemit as a great place for social change! I look forward to the out come of this post and those that step up for this! Thanks for being real on the blockchain.
Sory friend
https://steemit.com/animal/@safrijals/black-profit-spider-2017117t185339113z
i don't think you read my post. I said, "no milque toast"
yes i am today not reading your post because i want you to my blog today.
but I always read your other posts except this.
well that's a sure way to NOT GET ME TO YOUR BLOG.
it's up to you
I am grateful to a most just God
Thanks so much @stellabelle for making steemit community and the world at large a better place.
Interesting notion there @stellabelle. The post yesterday was a rude awakening to all of us. It left a bad taste in the mouth because it was the truth. The system has its flaws but like any great idea it needs to adapt and change.
You have done well by thinking of a plan to disrupt the norm. To be on a look out for your disruptors. I will look for people that fits the bill and maybe post their profiles and post that made me see their potential.
Would it be possible to get a hashtag for easy reference to go back to this post. Although I did see there was a way to filter the post of a person using a desktop but most of the time I use my mobile to read and comment on posts.
Something stellawarriors ( I was thinking of the film The Warriors when you described disruptors haha)
i think simply use #disruptors
Since this post had that as the first tag.
Yes disruptors would be apt to find this post again.
I was browsing through the other comments and the very things you said you would not do like following and upvoting their posted votes is the very thing that some people did.
It is a natural reaction. I remember this talk from Simon Sinek on Alphas. It is the very premise here because we all look at that number next to the name and we determine if we are the alpha or the other person based on how higher or lower their number compared to us.
Natural reaction to Alphas (Whales) is to kowtow and fawn over just like some of these folks. In some way I am too because am I always try to act with dolphins and whales albeit not by shamelessly asking for upvotes but by engaging them in a smart and with sense. Build a relationship. If they like a post and comment that is great if they upvote then that is just the cherry on top. Either way the best thing for social communities is to communicate, give feedback by commenting and building a relationship.
You see it often here in the Philippines. People naturally call people Sir and Maam. Both as a a honorific as well as to show deference. It has been ingrained in the Filipinos psyche to measure and see if they are an alpha or not. The group I was in before spoke your name with both reverence and fear because you have so much Steem power that you can make or break someone.
That is fundamentally the purpose of whales to make minnows better. To reward good content and pass over shitposts. It is by fixing the behaviour of what gets rewarded is a step to the right direction of steem.
May you find the right people who will help you realize your vision of Steemit. A place where good content is king and we all aspire to produce good content.
I remember a discussion I had with this dolphin about the power of upvotes and he corrected my naive way of thinking of how it is best utilized.
My naive self told him with full confidence that I often look at my feed and read the posts that I like and I upvote it. I upvote more than 10 posts a day there was a time I upVoted about 22 posts. He said well and good that I liked the post and voted for it but did I make an impact? Naturally since I am a minnow by reputation my vote is even less than 0.01 it doesn't even register and he said if I go beyond 10 I just lose more voting power and it would take time for it to go back to 100% so am I doing the people that made their wonderful post by voting for them when I am low. The answer is no. Sure I may have made a connection but financially I did not have any impact. Might as well be a comment in Facebook with no monetary value whatsoever.
I felt ashamed and thoroughly chastised on my naivety. I have much to learn and I appreciate when people call me out for having the wrong idea. I am man enough to admit my mistake and get better.
I think that guy is a good fit to what you want as your disruptors. Look him up @retiredinsamar. He really made a lasting impression to me and he has a commanding persona.
Here is a post that I see that he is a good candidate.
https://steemit.com/steem/@retiredinsamar/i-say-ban-the-bot-remove-the-plague-before-it-destroys-steemit-from-within
thanks for your epic reply and brutal honesty. I liked that. I will look up your suggestion. Thanks.
Thank you and I was writing that using my mobile phone and didn't realize how long and rambling it was.
Here is another recommendation. He was recommended by a friend who thought I would like the humor. Somewhat looks to me like a person who would set things on fire to watch it burn and with a maniacal grin on his face but that might just me projecting .
https://steemit.com/@trafalgar
He has not been very active lately on this one but is active on his shorter account https://steemit.com/@traf
You might even know him because I think I saw a post of him saying ruffling some feathers. Well being infamous can be a trait of a disruptor.
He has 500k SP, but yes, I do like his style.
Well reading this on lunch has made me smile.
It's good to rebel and nothing wrong in stirring things up. Bennie Elcclestone (ex F1) said "if there aren't any fires to put out, I'll make a few"
Go make a few @stellabelle :)
Diffrence between snubbing and busy, ok ok i unserstand @stellabelle
viewed, voted, commented, and re-steemed ...
anyone follows me i'll follow back within a few days
Did you even read this post?, get to read it first buddy, this matter is greater than a "follow for follow" affair. Stay blessed My dear friend
importance lies in the eyes of the beholder ... i think a re-steem is always good, no ?
hey, just an fyi, this sentence doesn't work well on here:
It actually makes me not even want to look at your blog. I'm sorry to be like this, but a lot of us think in this way...
Hahaha! That right there was worth the price of admission!
You still may get some trolls applying. Hope you find exactly who you envision.
I will see what I can do.
Btw any specific reason why you are choosing two users?
no reason....just wanted to delegate 10,000 SP, decided to break it up into 2, for more distribution.
if anyone upvote, comment and follow me, i will do the same
i can follow you in RL if you like. you tell your friends im a government agent whos protecting you.
whoever spent more than 3 months here, already learned this collective puppy talk, and got trained in auto censorship.
do manhunt for >5 days old users.
then there is a chance.
as a proof (takes me long to type this, it prolly happens already) you will see bunch people suddenly becoming sharp and critical so they can get sum SP ;)
thats steemit^
Good luck
Wonderful news and thank you for this! I confess to being in a funk myself lately. I had a true love for the concept of Steemit when I joined, but the past few weeks have seen a real down turn in my enthusiasm.
Mostly because it seems like original content has been replaced by the same "fluff" pieces and lock step mentality that has made everything else so banal.
Good luck on finding your diamonds in the rough. I will keep my eyes peeled for you as well =)
I think we can actually improve things....it just takes some guts...
I hope so. I would like to see a return to that hopeful attitude around here♥
I am very interested to help you with this Stella. Curious to hear your plan...
I have been writing a steemit review post for some time now due for release when I hit 71 in the next week or so. Basically echoing your concerns and a few more juicy bits. Feeling like something needs to be done! Just lacking the SP these days to do anything effective.
Yesterday's main story ;) https://steemit.com/spirituality/@samstonehill/the-rise-and-fall-of-christianity-in-my-life-why-did-this-happen-and-what-did-i-learn
ok i will check this out. did you get your account back?
haha! yes. I am not the hacker. If I was, I would be one dedicated hacker, impersonating me.
Hello @stellabelle
You have done well by coming up with this great idea in which two persons would be delegated 5000sp for two months. Thanks for this rare opportunity. Below is the link to my entry post:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@eurogee/the-most-important-but-hidden-truth-that-your-recruiter-may-not-have-told-you-about-steem-blockchain
@eurogee
Glad to see there are some large stakeholders (I really dislike the term 'whale') who aren't just happy to take the easy money. I've written and commented a few times that I see Steemit as a reflection of real life in as far as if you have money/SP you can make money/SP but if you don't you are at the mercy of those that do have money/SP.
The replies I get from large stakeholders or witnesses are along the lines of, "The whales on Steemit worked hard to get where they are and if you work hard you can get there too". This of course is bullshit and it only takes a few minutes of blockchain investigation to determine that the majority of Steem and Steem power is in the hands of a very small number of people/accounts. This does not mean of course that your average Joe couldn't accumulate 100,000+ SP but in reality (and in life) this is the exception and not the rule and in fact it can clearly be seen that money and power is usually obtained through luck or inheritance although of course, those with the money and power do not see it that way
The system we all live in in real life appears to have been designed to work the way it does and I see Steemit the same way. The only positive I see for Steemit is that it is still a young platform and there are still influencial people such as yourselves who seem to want things to be different.
It would be a real shame if things do not change and another blockchain based blogging platform came along that learned from the uncorrected mistakes (or deliberatly inbuilt inequality depending on how you see things) of Steemit and started attracting users from here but I think it is inevitable unless things change.
This sounds good, let me run off and see if I could see such a gem. You are right, steem is what we all have in common and we would definitely like to see it to the moon. Thank you.
I’m fairly certain you know that I share your stance on what this community represents, but also fear it’s trajecotry given the proliferation of “milque toast.” I’ll always support the Belle :)
I realize newbies can use MinnowBooster to get their posts noticed, but people like me (I would feel a level of shame in doing this practice), who don't like to pay to get noticed need some other way.
I'm a newbie & I can relate to your quote above. Go ahead & rebel! Thanks!
I'll poke you on steemit.chat
Proof of Person...
I like that.
Almost feels like it could be the next big thing after we've realized the shortcomings of Proof of Work, Proof of Stake and its younger, better looking little brother Delegated Proof of Stake..
This is exactly what the kr community needs. Recently there has been a post of a whale that conveys the message 'The ones who write without investing in Steem are my enemies.'
'The whales should self vote rather than investing in newbies.'
Another user and I made a parody post/video about him. It's sad to see this place turn in to a hierarchical society, when it's supposed to be a place to support creativity. I am currently working on recruiting members of the kr-college team, and I made an account. I hope the recruited early 20 year olds could make some change with lots of energy. Thank you for writing this post, it was great.
@umkin : He made a parody post about the whale who said the ones who just write without investing in steemit are enemies.

Very nice piece of writing dear @stellabelle thanks for sharing
Sometimes I feel like I am running in place in the land of Steemit. I would love, love, love to have quality interaction with my posts. I put my heart and soul into them and it would be fun to hear what others have to say - good or bad.
I don't feel that I can adequately critique Steemit since I am just a newbie, still learning the ropes. I just enjoy quality posts and try to add to the conversation a bit of my experience and ideas.
I look forward to watching and reading about your pursuits to improve Steemit by supporting others. Bravo @stellabelle!
I will try to remember to look for a couple of People who I have sene posts from and may fall into the catergory you are looking for this evening when I have more time to look again at their posts and make sure they are in fact disrupters in the senses you are looking for, but for now I just wanted to say thanks for this initiative, I am relatively new here and small fry but I do see so much potential on this site and would have to see it all fall apart
If bots were bedbugs, Steemit hotel is crawling with them.
I'd like to see an effort to eradicate gaming the system.
Why pour your heart out creatively when its a drop in the bot-ocean?
Unless this changes, Steemit is doomed.
Awesome. I'm a drummer and was debating what my first entry would be for open mic night. Recent events opening my eyes up and your posts have made this choice an easy decision.
Instead of originals for now, I'll be blasting covers of Rage Against the Machine songs to start making my point. What better way to pay homage to my favorite band and also set the tone for this cause. BOOM.
great idea, we need some realism.
We nominate @amvanaken as most-disruptive-steemian-of-the-year. He gave the only controversial Ted talk about fluoride or the pineal gland & can rant excessively about any level of corruption for days. He also is the creator of this account, which is currently one of the fastest-growing community accounts in the USA Steemit community, particularly servicing the people in the Rocky Mountain Steemit Community! He also purchased your dank Gif services a while back and is an all around great dude. 💯
Thank for doing this.
What a sensational idea. I agree with you on the optimism of the steem blockchain yet realize not all is joyful in mudville.
Personally I give the developers the benefit of the doubt in that I believe they are trying to improve, especially the steemit site. I could be wrong on that one but it is the natural optimism in me.
Personally, I think we need things streamlined. There is very little community and it is hard to create one with the way the posts are aligned. Sure you can search a tagline but many are misrepresented anyway.
I applaud your efforts and will be on the lookout for those you seek.
Congratulations @stellabelle, this post is the tenth most rewarded post (based on pending payouts) in the last 12 hours written by a Superhero or Legend account holder (accounts hold greater than 100 Mega Vests). The total number of posts by Superhero and Legend account holders during this period was 27 and the total pending payments to posts in these categories was $800.35.

If you do not wish to receive these messages in future, please reply stop to this comment.
Danny was the first Steemian I met at Steemfest (apart from seeing @basilmarples on the Metro, but not realising at the time). Danny has a good grip on reality and likes to stir things up. I'm less of a rebel, but we need people like him. I'm doing my own bit of delegation to help some minnows.
since you won't be voting to any links being send.. here is my introduction post which was from last month..
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@nee/my-steem-journey-and-my-future-steem-hopes
I would appreciate if you leave a comment
Wohoo goo @stellabelle this is what we need from the whales!
Courage to point out that we need to keep improving!
Reposting just to come back and read it again as many times as I feel like.
Interesting post, Stella.
I dovetailed on @sunravelme's statement already because in the brief time I've been here posting daily, I've seen some antics that remind me of why I have always grooved to my own tune.
I practice esoteric arts and divination and find that my particular variety of independent thinking and life hacking skills is generally embraced by people who are willing to self analyze and take responsibility. I find a "tough audience" in the groups of people who would rather stick their heads in the sand and pretend that this little blip on the earth radar is all there is.
Thinking to more extraordinary points is all I'm willing to allow my energy to expand into, personally...steemit seems a great place to be expansive, however there are certainly challenges in the way content is rewarded.
