Steemians... Good day. Easter Holidays have come and gone and it's now time to return to work once again.
My article today is somewhat a carryover from yesterday's post, in which I called for setting up a special curation scheme that's targeted at rewarding #introduceyourself posts that meet set standards. I went further to make case for replicating the @sndbox scheme into six places to cater for assigned tags or communities. Both suggestions were inspired to address the wide disparity between the total number of accounts ever created on Steemit, (which was put at 902,793) and the number of active users put at 60,084) according to @reko's stat publication.

The aforementioned stats aren't by any means good for Steemit because the percentage of people who get to stay after creating accounts is misery 6%. Anyone who wishes steem well should not just be keeping quiet. Hence this post is a sort of reinforcement to what I said yesterday.
Yesterday while playing my role of recommending #promo-steem tagged posts for curation by @steem-ambassordor CAMPUS scheme, I came about a project started by @yoo1900. It is such a commendable one that's bound to make far reaching impacts within steem ecosystem. With over 440000SP balance in his account, @yoo1900 has been running a minnow-targeted scheme by which he selects 5 exceptionally written minnow posts every day and upvote each with voting weight of between 50% to 80%.
According to @yoo1900's blog update...
Hello Steem friends
I vote for 5 people who posted impressive posts every day.
The VP will be about 50%-80% on each post of the selected minnow. This is in order to promote quality and good content on Steemit.com.
What are the settings for minnow?
reputation below 60 (Completely random, it just have to be a good one).
List for today:
@beatenegg
@tuuma
@peterrol
@viru7
@syifa05
(I do not intend to stop supporting those I have supported so far even if they are over 60)
Going by the above information, @yoo1900 curates 35 minnow posts weekly, 150 minnow posts monthly! And each of his upvotes will yield not less than 15sbd in payout. And this is outside his regular curation to those close to him. Now when you take into account that there many top class Steemians, like @yoo1900, whose huge SPs are just lying idle in their accounts, you would appreciate how generously supportive @yoo1900 has been to this platform.
A lot of minnows (mainly from developing countries) who had abandoned their accounts today wouldn't have done so if they earn 15sbd in a month. At least if they won't achieve anything, they would certainly afford to subscribe to data services. And this could make a whole difference.
My appeal goes to top class Steemians (Whales, Orcas, dolphins, etc)...
60,084 active users out of 902,793 total accounts is very poor outcome. We can do better. We certainly can. Imagine if we have 200 Steemians who are operating like @yoo1900... That would certainly produce a very significant impact in the community and help raise the embars of active users of this platform, not to talk of the impact it would have on the price of steem.
I know that the primary focus of every business man is profit. All things being equal, Steemians would certainly be drawn to posts they stand a better chance of earning good curation rewards than supporting minnows. As true as this may be, this platform cannot exist without minnows. Both top class Steemians and minnows are both important for continued existence of this platform. No one of them can exist alone. And the performance of steem depends on our (both top class Steemians and minnows) general activities.

I therefore plead with top class Steemians to consider adopting @yoo1900 model to support minnows. Thanks for reading.
Yours truly,

Thank you @yoo1900 for your good heart and definitely sir @eurogee for continuing effort and hardship for the goodness of the community.... you are the kind of people in this community that give us the courage to hold on and never give up on this platform... 😘😘😊❤️
This is a good call. It s also generous of @yoo1900 to support minnows. How i wish many whales, orcas and dolphins could just look down and pick exceptional minnows articles and upvote. This will go a long way in helping them do more knowing fully well they could be upvoted by whales, orcas or dolphins.
@smyle
Exactly! Thanks boss for your support
You have said it all bro, I do follow @yoo1900 and to be honest he is really going a great job here in steemit, upvoting quality post of five people per day.
Lols. For you to know him means your a real networker😁 keep it up sir. That's how Rome was built. Thanks
@eurogee
Nice to hear that sir @eurogee godblessed you
And you also. Thanks
I hope it gets to the right quarters... Whale votes are as scarce as anything.
Really very scarce these days. It wasn't like this when we started! Damn, steemit is fast changing
Because most whales have delegated their voting rights to bots for vote-selling..... sad sad!
Peace, boss
This is timely piece. And well placed too. Let's hope the message sinks.
It can be frustrating when newbies do so much but feel they've got no fair returns. Efforts must be put into helping such people churn out quality articles and to see that such articles earn fair gains in returns. There has to be a sustainable way to do that.
Justice must not only be done, justice must be seen to have been done.
Yes. That's very impressive comment. Thanks
Nicely said!! I have so far only found @yoo1900 but I do find the whole project very appealing. This is a community and what communities do is that the members support each other. The strong ones help the weaker ones grow. I like to imagine that steemit will be like that one day...I guess you could call me an optimist but it just warms my heart when I see people like you supporting others :) Keep up the great work!
I like your model too. Thanks

@yoo1900 is a shining example of the personalities steeemit needs to not just survive, but thrive.
Selfless benevolence such as by @yoo1900 goes a long way to attract, but above else, to retain minnows in the platform.
And you cannot be more right when you observe that:-
How true.
I hope the clout account holders out there will hearken to your call.
I agree. He's my star
