I've only been here for a year and had no idea what I was doing until recently. Then I had the rug pulled out by the fork, and had no choice but to give in to the behavior modification controls. I am certainly not making any more than I did under old steem, and I am working harder to earn it. But I do have a little gaggle of loyal followers that make it still enticing to be here. Too bad none of them are whales.
Welcome back. I hope it works out for you.
Thanks! Good to be back. This platform has had its highs and lows, it truly does have potential though. It's all about community building. If you're building a small community of friends and growing you're doing it right :) For me it's all about the growth and interactions.
I believe, but am not certain, that an upvote with a value of less than .02 is wasted. I appreciate it, but you might want to rethink how you use your voting power. I no longer upvote comments, it just depletes my voting power and is of no benefit to anyone. If it is a benefit to someone somewhere, I have no idea what or who that is. Let me know if you find out I'm wrong.
Then there's the upvote curve (which ALWAYS curves my upvotes down) a dastardly condition I am having difficulty accepting.
Look at me explaining #newsteem to a veteran. I hope I have not overstepped.
Good point. I tend to use a small upvote just as an acknowledgment. But I suppose a responce is the best acknowledgement of all.
