hi, after being on steemit this past 2 months i have come to the conclusion that its actually like every other community in the world and i find that very interesting, because it has what other social media platforms do not have : higher levels of community relationships aka who you know!!, we have the whales, dolphins and lil lil fishes like ourselves (wondering when our earnings will start making sense) the descriptions i find interesting too! yes there are talents and loads of inexperienced people everywhere waiting for their time to shine. coincidentally that situation is plenty here on steemit. but i have one belief, honest hard work overtime finally pays. even here on steemit. predator, great white sharks and killer whales, i wouldn't bother about who was more dangerous because they are all dangerous and you have to watch your back on all cases. I do not consider upvoting some people a waste because i upvote content i think is good or meaninful to me. and yes i do follow people after i go through some of their posts and profile . But in the end investment in steemit is free in a way, its just intellectual property that one could earn or not, and some people actually spend money to come up with quality content. we all just have to hope and work hard enough for the best that can eventually come. For your blog you dont need enough inspiration to do it, you just need to do it and am sure it would be a wonderful to read through. looking out for it.
