I agree with you, taskmaster that Steemit had open my heart to the passion of writing and reading. I am sure others as well. I am always strategizing my move on what to put up for content for each day.
Day by Day, I see my Steemit account grow slowly but it is still growing and I have earned money through this.
Recently, @spiritualmax who had just join last December, I saw one of his posts exploded in money because he was unjustly flagged for no rhyme or reason but this wonderful community backed him up. Anyways, he did up a post about magic cards featuring the personality of influential members including you!
Nonetheless, a very informative article here which yet again explain the benefits of STEEM and if someone does not get influenced by your positivity, they would be losers in the end. Upvoted!
