Definitely agree with you man, I've recently joined Steemit and have been looking into how it all works, very interested to stay here and start curating my own posts. Also hope this community will flourish and someday surpass many of the existing social medias!
The longer you stay, better your rewards will be. Steemit is all about building your following and being active in community. More traffic we all create, better for all of us. No spam of course :)
