Well, I may as well clear some things up: I am without a doubt the coolest, funniest, sexiest and most nimble person on The Blockchains.
also I can be pretty funny
The thing with the layout of steemit is that it can become extremely isolating, especially when one starts their SM experience by experiencing that isolation. Everything from the mechanics of the actual payout system to the numerous off-site "apps" which are essentially a requirement to use the platform at all profitably. Without so many words, the learning curve is steep.
And there certainly are an excess of broken english sycophants willing to say anything to get that SBD, Steem is big as hell, and I have ran into multiple little encloves of tight night crews (that yes, talk and emote like humans) as well as wonderfully bizarre weirdos simply by chance.
Before I go any further, do you have a Telegram or Discord? Discord is essential for Steem.it anyway, and I can tell you some more shit no one ever tells you for some reason (for discord i need the 4 digit tag, not username)
I don't have discord yet but I will work on that in the next couple days and get back to you. Thanks.
