A very valuable perspective. Thanks for this. I am a newbie myself, and I am certainly trying to build my own profile and hive power by creating good, wholesome real and original content. I do find it disheartening when I see absolute nonsense earning votes, while organic and original content sometimes (not always) is overlooked. I am very careful with my votes, just like I would hope that those who vote on my posts would be. I want genuine engagement to help me create content that will genuinely be enjoyed by others.
I see you! I feel the same way. ♥️♥️
