Right now as a minnow I'm just swimming around seeing what gets my attention & not forcing it to happen. I want to love the platform, but I'm still not completely hooked yet because there are a few drawbacks that I'm waiting to see how/if they resolve themselves. That's a crypto in general kind of thing though.
I'm looking for people that I genuinely want to spend my life's time reading what they have to say & not caring if they are whales or not. I'm mostly here for the entertainment, education & community because that's the element that interests me & a lot of the social dynamics are just beyond me.
I'm down to support people I dig, or help each other get a come up, but I don't want to have to spend my time being a kiss ass to people with stature to advance my career, so I avoided going the Whale Hunting route unless my natural reading style led me to some.
I'm trying to get into Steemit but it's a lot like being volunteered to do work.
I'm curious to see who/what will get my attention & sell me on the format.
Don't get me wrong, I'm feeling it, but ultimately the whales have to have some draw beyond flashing money if they want their investment to pay out. They've proven they are ahead of the pack by adopting a cool platform early, but...
I don't know what my point is, I smoked a lot of weed, but there's got to be a symbiotic relationship in all this to thrive.
Your advice is good, but I just can't get excited about being an unpaid intern kissing ass & spending the same 4 plus hours looking for content that makes me to decide to vest my time & money.
I guess I'm curious how Whales in turn will draw minnows when I can't even lure talented friends into it enough to check it out.
(This is one of those replies where I'm like...I probably shouldn't hit post, but eh...)
Hope your day is good, great advice despite my old lady tangent reply :p
