Yeah, I've been around here since before the re-steem feature was created, and I never really understood the value in it until this post. I upvote and comment on a lot of things as part of my curation activities. I just never realized re-steeming was important to this aspect of Steemit, too. I looked at it as simply a way to promote your friends' and followers' posts. Thanks for giving re-steeming a good, understandable explanation. Even those of us who have been around the platform for a while can still learn something new.
