basically, every noob needs to realize: your reputation is more important than anything else. When you help people in here, hopefully someone who has a higher rep will take notice and reward you. That's how you grow your influence. Ignore the vote buying crap. It actually doesn't work very well.
Understood. In my initial reading I am seeing that reputation increases through (in layman's terms) good old-fashioned community building - post good content and support others who do the same. It is exciting to see the growth of niche interest communities growing in here. I think the success of a environment like this will, in no small part, be first driven by the passion of champions in many niche communities: photography, politics, cars, stamp collecting, etc. This will pave the way for the general population whose interests lie in these niche communities. Once they come on board and take ownership of these healthy communities Steemit will grow as we have seen other mainstream SM environments.
You're at the first layer, because you're a noob. You're from mainstream where only surface details are understood. Those who stick around longer will get to the second layer. That's when the magic happens.
Very exciting indeed. I am looking forward to digging deeper.
Thanks again for all the work you are doing. I hope I can contribute in some small way as I learn more about this environment.
BTW. Decentraland crowd sale is beginning today. Been following for quite some time now. That is another environment I am so looking forward to exploring.
Wow!! I am VERY new to Steemit, so I don't know all the nuts-n-bolts yet. But that jump looks impressive :) Thank you very much @stellabelle

The ramblings of a noob :) :)
