This makes sad but also gives me hope. My steem journey has been interesting. The time I could've gotten somewhere by engaging the community I was busy following Jerry Banfield and his likes waiting on a get rich quickly steem rain get to me. It never did.
Then I started getting into people's comment sections and somehow earned a few. I treasure who come... because I have now gathered 800 plus steempower which to me is a milestone. I am camping here whichever way :)
Yes, it can be hard in the beginning and the real key to getting a foothold is commenting and socialising. Great to see you powering up. We really need a middle class of good bloggers.
It is a good feeling to embrace the community more. One doesn't even realise how strangers turn into people you follow then over time they become friends and family. I have people I have met here that I won't trade with anything else. And I really hope that we get the middle class of really awesome content creators because that will definitely change the game!
Fingers crossed :)
It will take a lot of stubbornness from the community, but I have had a great time here. Much better than I would have on facebook or Twitter.
Fingers crossed :)
