Helping newbies is a huge part of it. As you have noticed, the whales, have indeed, stopped upvoting the Secret Writer posts. Does that mean I discontinue it and cave into frustration? No. It means I continue doing it because I SEE VALUE IN IT. Even if the whales no longer value it in terms of money, I see value in it for others as well as myself. I have perhaps a different value system than even the whales. This is a perfect example of having a bigger stake than just money. Some of the Secret Writer posts in the past were profitable, but that profit has pretty much died off, in money terms. But those posts still get around 200 votes, mostly from minnows. The minnow vote is valuable to me. If there were no minnow votes, now then, that would indicate that perhaps there is no inherent value in the Secret Writer.

Yeah, my latest strategy for improving the community is to scour the new posts for good content and give advice on improving posts. Good ways to get followers worth following and vice versa
I learned from @cryptos that another great way to do this is scouring the 'pending payout' posts. You can give deserving but forgotten posts some love before it's too late.
@tee-em I would love it if you could check out my posts and give me some advice!
New here and I would certainly welcome any constructive criticism you feel inspired to share ;) please & thank-you. I wish you well xox
200$ may not be much compared to the 1-5k posts (which still happen less frequently - but they do happen, and for some countries that kind of money would be 1 year of work), but they are not negligible. Many would kill to even have a 20$ per post consistency, not an avg of something like 500+ per post (if we average good payouts of >1-2k and bad payouts of 100-200$).
