NewSteemTales | What's your most embarrassing story from your newbie days at OldSteem
Old Steem is ancient news, New Steem is what's trendy now. But that doesn't mean we can't have a laugh at how we behaved when we were a one week old plankton at Old Steem, right?
There was a conversation in the @ocd discord channel that made me remember my days as a newbie and how clueless I and some other OCD curators were - curators which I won't mention to keep their honor intact :P
I remember I didn't know anything about Voting or where the money came from, I didn't even know VP or SP was a thing, so I started to vote every dolphin I ran into and I easily gave away 300 full votes in one single day... And all because I wanted to catch their attention with my 0.001 vote and perhaps make them follow me or give me a vote back.
Can you imagine nowadays giving out 300 full votes in a couple of days?
Oh God, I was such a rookie. And we all were. Some of us have a lot of embarrassing stories and I'm pretty sure some of you weren't such rookies when they happened :P
So share them with us, let's laugh together at how OldSteem was and I'll pick a random embarrassing story and will send the Steemian 10 steem - only rule, it's gotta be funny :P
By the way, if anyone wants to create a #NewSteemTales thumbnail, I'll pay good money for it since I'm gonna be using it for this kind of recurrent posts :) hit me up here in the comments or discord!
I'll join this #newsteemtales for sure to let everybody knows how hard I experienced to survive in steem for long.

Oh yeah, for the 1st few weeks I was upvoting everybody hoping to get new followers. I didn’t have a clue.
You're upping the drama to new levels! Have a DRAMA.
To view or trade
DRAMAgo to steem-engine.com.Lmao when I first joined I remember I used a bidbot but I quickly realized I didn’t earn from it so I stopped. I joined dobartim’s school as well but meh I didn’t learn anything to be honest. I even joined one of his contests but that was just a waste as there was no instruction written on the contest post that you have to read it in one of his “lessons” on voice chat so my whole time in there was just a waste of time.
And also I was using the “curie” tag because my friend told me to do so I could be curied but it took me a while to realize it isn’t the criteria to be curied and that tag makes no sense at all 😂 Not that embarrassing but I’m thankful I didn’t spam people with “I followed you, followed me back too!” 🙈😛
Lol I did the SAME thing 3 years ago..

Count me in!
My most embarassed story is when I supported people who are leeches and ego maniacs.
The most embarrassing moment I ever had during my first week in my steemit life was by making a post of a simple photography and tag curie because the one invited told me that l will earned just post a picture. Then I heard, when you post a drama in your life many Steemian will help. In one word, begging. I never begged but it came to my mind as what I saw around. So funny embarrassing moment but it really happened.
