I completely agree that comments (and posts, and well... everything about one's presence on Steemit) should be genuine. I am a newbie in the last week and many things still evade me... still pretty confused about how to join the minnow project. The older I get the more it seems I need a dumbed down version... I think many parts of Steemit are very technical and intimidating which sometimes makes the simple things scary! Or make you feel like you're doing something wrong.
I feel pretty good about my intro posts. I first did a basic intro post about me, husband, and the farmstead. But then I felt like I needed to make another post stating my intentions on Steemit. I said that I would always be genuine. And while yes, the $ portion is what brough me here, the community is what will keep me here. I feel that I need and want genuine supporters in order to create the richest experience possible here on Steemit.
Thanks for your participation! Challenge #2 is now out. Please give it a shot. Good luck! ππ
