@dollarvigilante This was a great post! Wish you'd tell us who the whale whisperer was though! ;)
There are some other tips that might be helpful. I was trying to help @diamondlou by providing constructive criticism. But things that work are things that work.

I have been watching him since he got here and have been giving advice in hopes of collecting it into a more comprehensive noobies guide, mostly as an answer to my good friend @casandrarose who posted a really cute guide. https://steemit.com/steemit/@casandrarose/noobie-s-guide-to-whales-and-other-steemit-fish
@berniesanders just downvoted this posting though, so no way am I risking that guide, it would flatten my rep to negative in a heartbeat. Plus it's a lot of effort to put together a quality post like that.
@dollarvigilante Hey do us a favor. If anyone happens to send you an article that you think is quality, give it an upvote and maybe mention it in your blog. Lots of quality stuff gets passed over here because everyone is looking at a handful of people instead of sifting through tons of content looking for something worthwhile. It would be helpful if highly visible people with a huge platform could help us find the real hidden gems. Probably cause perpetual critics like myself to shut up about the current disparity too :D
