I'm on Steemit for 10 months now (and a follower of yours due to a recommendation some weeks ago). Only the last month saw me getting rewarded with STEEM (not just SBD and SP) which gives me the chance to power up regularly (by small amounts but who cares?).
According to your classification I still count as a Redfish which could be translated to: bloody beginner. Well, I may be, kind of. But in fact I think the months between october 2017 and march/april 2018 have been a hard time for anybody on the platform.
I'm at 58 SP as of now (right now, I just powered up with the latest rewards before finishing the comment), 400 or 500 is so much out of reach for me that actually the thought of having to achieve this makes me upset. (Which is the main reason I'm commenting.) I have lived with a small delegation for nearly 4 months, covering the time between having nearly 20 SP and about 45 SP of my own (I don't remember the exact numbers, it might have started at 15 SP too and ended at about 30.) However, the cut-off for a voting value of 0.01 was slightly above 30 back then. Now (due to the exchange rate ?) it's somewhere above 100 SP I guess.
I don't want to compete. And it makes me sad to be called for competition by a user I appreciated for her specific content.
P.S.: There is no user account @steemcommunty - please check the spelling. ;)
thank you for your feedback. Small amounts all add up so you are right, who cares.
"According to your classification I still count as a Redfish which could be translated to: bloody beginner"
Not always the case. This classification was not created by me but here on steemit before I started. I know plenty of redfish that are by no means beginners.
500 can seem a long way off for many, I remember feeling that way only a year ago.
This is all just a bit of fun, with some rewards added. I did not 'call' you, although this post must have landed in your feed? as I said, it is opt in so there is no reason to be sad as you do not have to take part .
Updated the spelling error, thanks :-)
