nice bit of insight into steemit thanks

You don't need to upvotes 100%
As a Dolphin, we have plenty of SP
That way we can up votes more followers

Love the last image! And thanks for the support!

it is exciting, growth is explosive .. my power, voting power is low.. need to let it build up and then do a bunch of voting then

Would like to see steemit move more towards a reddit style where I could subscribe to topics I have more interest in.  I don't have that much interest in food or art and equally so many will not have interest in history and sports.  

Your battery may not get so drained if you were only reading through posts in topics that interest you more. Of course this can partially be done already by only looking for new posters in,say, 3-5 of the topics that interests you the most

we appreciate it...battery charges and solar panels in the mail -- you just had to ask :-)

Very good post :)

Yes, it looks like Steemit needs some updates on tags and topics. Just too many posts incoming, and only little percent of them gets noticed, even if you are the best writer on the planet, it's becoming a matter of luck, lol.  Charge up, good article!

Hi @dumar022, thanks for your post. Coming from an "oldskooler" like you it is nice to hear that we " the newguys" are welcomed. About the fact you can not vote for everyone, I told another great user the story I post below. Hope it helps ;)


Hi @surfermarly, I was reading the comments and I think all logic replies are given. What crosses my mind is that the fact that you are even thinking about how to devide your attention and votingpower, shows you are a wonderful person someone would love to be friends with.

Saying this, let's look at it as being a friendship. In "real life" you have a group of friends that you like being with. Since there are only 24hrs in a day and you got stuff to do, you can not devote all your time to them. But you follow them anyways, so it's ok.

In this group of friends there are a couple that you hang out with most of the time. This equals quantity (hopefully also quality haha).

Then there is this one friend you only get together with once in a couple weeks or months, but when you do it feels safe and familiair and you are having a great time. This equals quality.

And there are these friends you hang around with because they are actually more friends of your friends. In some cases you get to know each other better and you grow closer and in some cases you feel there is none connection what so ever. Thats life.

Basically what I am trying to say is that people will appreciate you if you upvote or comment them on every article, but they will also appreciate you when you don't do this on every article but just give one great heartwarming comment once in a while. At least this is what I like to believe...
Hope this contributes a little bit :)

Hopefully Steemit grows out to a even bigger community than it already is with many great articles, upvoted by many wonderful people and that it may even build some new friendships.

Steem is growing...good to hear I guess;)
