When I sign up my real life human friends these days with the Steem I earned, I set their accounts to autovote my content. Is that wrong? They only have 3SP lol But i do encourage them to get on the blockchain and interact with others.
I obviously have my own opinion of my own content, but regardless of the opinion, it is 100% original, no fake spam, no repeats, unique content in the form of daily life activities, and the growth of my first year garden farm. Much like your posts, and your brothers well written posts, my posts add their own flavor of content to the blockchain, and consistently at that.
Persistence is still key here for a minnow.
