I've gotten some support from whales and dolphins, but strangely enough it hasn't been because I've made any contact with them. Sometimes I really wonder how some people find other posts.
Maybe they're actually using the Steem website itself to find content? Now that would be neat, wouldn't it? It would take a lot of scrolling to find my content that way though... :D
I wonder about this too. 'This one isn't following me yet found my post'. I got a resteem on this by @steevc, which I already thanked him for. Having 4000+ followers helps.
Yeah sometimes it's the resteems, those definitely bring in some new readers, but sometimes you just get these random upvotes from dolphins it seems.
I wish we had some more stats for our blogs :)
What kind of stats? There are some things available using steemworld.org.
