@transisto I am not sure if you ever read any of my posts, but I have to thank you for creating this type of debate here about this important points, and the most important one to think is: are we adding value to the platform, how are we adding value.
It was thanks to @jerrybanfield that I found steemit, so I will always be thankful to him. Then it was @teamsteem who captured my attention with his "books" (because this is how we need to call his very known knowledgable posts), and he made me think about the vision from the creators of the platform and steem blockchain, and I really stuc to it, to freedom, to empowering people, to return the control to us that is were it belongs. So I will always be thankfull to @teamsteem for this quality creations.
And finally it was @elear with @utopian-io who made me start thinking about ideas to help improve the steemit front-end to capture the attention of more new visitors, minnows, new users, to also help increase the amount of retainers. And it was thanks to all this ideas I contributed with, and all the research I made on the platform, that I realized that many of my ideas, needed some backup content, something important compiled for all new visitors, new users, minnows, to help them to easily and faster learn and understand about steemit and the steem blockchain.
It was @lukestokes , @blocktrades, @jesta , @timcliff , and @aggroed when he held his panel, that inspired me to think on my current way to add value on the platform, now. Actually @timcliff asked me about 10 days ago, if I had something prepared for the wallet, an explanation, regarding to some feedback he gave me about an @utopian-io contribution I made.
And that is when I came with the idea of creating the full steemit guide of 11 chapters/posts to help new users of steemit and new visitors, to learn as much as possible on steemit, and thus help them make their way on the platform.
I already published the first 2 chapters, and already got over 100 comments with questions and suggestions, and several needs from new visitors, minnows and new users on steemit, and other people that were already users for several months.
Here are the links to both posts:
