"Actual" content improves the foundation for the platform, and you add actual content, so you do help improve Steemit. There are so many empty, nonsensical postings filled with space filling words that are produced purely to be "crowd upvoted", that it is getting difficult to find thise worth reading. Time is very limited for many of us and it is a waste to use that time filtering through the effluvia produced in the scramble for automated upvotes.
Keep on keepin' on doing it right!
