RE: HF 19- A few thoughts now the euphoria is dying down some
That is very kind of you to use your votes on new members. I'm sure they will really appreciate that. It is such a good feeling to know that we have so many caring people in our community.
That's one thing I really like about our community: the fact that so many people do care. There are plenty of initiatives to help people out like @minnowsupport and @curie, and I've seen lots of contests / games to give away Steem or delegate Steem Power temporarily. And people are usually quite happy to answer questions & teach newcomers how the platform works.
Sure, you still run into the occasional troll from time to time, but overall there's so much positive energy here compared to, say, Reddit or Facebook (those are the real cesspits of the Internet).
That is absolutely true about all the games and contests to make life more exciting. Sykochica surprised me by offering to donate 25 SBD to my own weekly contests. That way, even if my post doesn't generate enough to make a worthwhile prize, I at least have her SBD to give out. The first week, my prize pool was tiny and her donation was the provider of 5 SBD. The 2nd week ended just after HF19, so I was able to dole out 5 prizes worth a total of 23.489 SBD. That was fun. I'm all excited about next week's prize pool, but also a bit worried because I read that posts are getting less readers now. With only 10 votes per day, people may be reluctant to upvote and raise the amount in the prize pool. Time will tell I guess.
I hope people realize they don't always have to vote at 100% all the time, they can spread their votes around just as before by dialing down the slider a little. I'm gonna go check out your latest contest post right now. :-)
I'm quite confident that those who have sliders will know how to use them.
Thanks for looking at my page. I hope you find something of interest there. Way at the bottom (2nd post) I posted a video about self-manipulation for back pain (allowed me to break free of visiting chiropractors). Lots of people have back problems and this could help many. Of course I won't get any more pay-outs from it, but I do wish to help as many as I can, so I keep promoting that video. If you know anyone suffering from back pain, please direct them to it because there is a good chance it can help them.
