Dear @mariusfebruary
I only had a chance to read your post now and it's already a bit to old to upvote. I wonder if you will even read my comment :)
In Steem I see the possibility to find great content while at the same time supporting the creators and the platform.
STEEM indeed gives opportunity for many content creators to monetize their work and to build their reach the way facebook or other centralized media couldn't provide. Not to mantion that steem is so much more transparent, and that builds trust.
However, I am still trying to find out how to best support people and projects on this platform.
I'm one of those whos efforts are supported by you and together with @neavvy, @jadams2k18, @fucho80, @juanmolina and @lanzjoseg we are absolutely grateful.
People like you are very rare and I would like you to know, that your efforts are recognized by many.
ps.
It's very difficult to find right answer for your question. I strongly believe that each of those strategies require different amount of time and effort which you would need to put personally. And that may be the most important factor to take into consideration.
In my opinion we have enough of quality authors. Steemit is lacking quality curators. So that's where I would still put my focus. On supporting those who curate content, which you consider worth rewarding.
I know you've been doing it already and doing it right. Keep up with great work buddy :)
Yours
Piotr
I tend to agree. I suspect the reason for this are due to account created merely to siphon Steem rewards and frustration of many big accounts who began to automate.
