Dude. the fact that I (and surely MANY others) am noticing your name and involvement in the community through well thought out and articulated comments means that you are well on your way past minnow, my friend! Keep it up.
It's definitely true that posts with higher Steem Power are going to be listed higher- they pretty much automatically upvote their content and give themselves money instantly- which draws others to the post earlier on. This create that Steem-Roll-Avalance effect I'm talking about. This is why a priority should be to upgrade Steem Power ASAP, if you plan to use this platform long term. It'll get you a much better foothold in the community- especially if you write as well as you do, liberosist!
Cheers, brother, and see you jumping among Dolphins soon!
Thanks crypt0, your encouragement always keeps me going. :) I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
Of course, I'm investing everything into Steem Power. I don't know if Steemit will succeed, but as a frustrated Redditor, I'm doing my best to make it happen, however miniscule my contribution may be.
A shameless plug, do check out my post from yesterday - https://steemit.com/steemit/@liberosist/from-minnow-to-usd1-000-in-one-comment-a-personal-story . It's already lost into the void, but I was happy to see so many minnows upvoting it and taking something from it. I'd be glad if you read it if you missed it. :)
Whilst I'm one of the people who is against what @masteryoda was doing I don't want anyone to rage quit. What he was doing was wrong in my opinion but it is better to get people to change their behaviour rather than chasing them away. I have read a few of your posts and they always seem to be helpful and balanced. I have given a like to the post you list above - don't think it will make any difference now but I think it deserves it. All the best!
It probably will be helpful, if only to have read this comment and know that I have your support. You are a smart and intelligent fellow, and you have a knack for drawing me into your comments and posts. You have an excellent vernacular, and I appreciate any interaction from you. Thanks, and cheers, Mr. Fiend of cryptos!
That was an epic story. It was really worth the read, and I love how you did your best to encourage someone to not ragequit. You helped a brother who was down, and you got rewarded for it- that is literally the BEST of what makes Steemit Steemit. Wow. That post alone deserved all of those 117 vote merits and much more.
Keep doing what you're doing- you have a good soul and life will bring you great things. I don't really need to encourage you, as you are the one who does the encouraging =D
Happy to have you around...you're an example and a leader, liberosist.
Wow, crypt0, thanks so much. I'll keep at it!
