I didn't know you were a big personality. Wow Steemit really makes people easily accessible these days.
When I started here I also felt the unfairness of the platform. As a redfish/minnow it's not easy to start here at all. It's not like Facebook or Instagram or any user friendly site. Plus if you don't know who the curators are and such, any post, quality or not will surely not be seen.
I have learned how to navigate the site better since then. Someone who starts at the bottom with very little followers anywhere is of course different as to how you and known people like you start on here but it's nice to find out about it.
I'm visiting the people I followed since I started some months ago and found out about this and your "change of heart." This is great news!
Hope you continue helping others. 👍
