@philipkavan, I am a minnow at the moment. At the very beginning of my journey on Steem blockchain I also wad a bit sceptic. But, recently I've started beenig rewarded. Do, it works! Steem is a great place. And there are many opportunities. Just be yourself, be consistent, do ypur best, make videos, comment on other Steemians content, that has a good quality and you will see that you will start being rewarded. Good luck!
