Sometimes I wonder whether it truly matters. Does anybody care what people write, especially the people who aren’t part of a community.

After having been a while on Steem, I can now also say that I support two communities. Even though one by proxy merely but it is a trail which supports me as well. A type of SBI, because that’s basically what it is.

In recent months, thanks to also my [two](https://steemit.com/@tarazkp) [partners](https://steemit.com/@eonwarped) in crime, I’ve gotten a reminder of what small, early stage communities are again. More even, communities revolving around a specific topic... pot.

It is a joy, but I’m obviously biased because I’ve always one better with topics. That long roadmapped thing which must have experienced a horrible road trip because communities haven’t yet made it past being *roadmapped*. Delays happen, right? 

Obviously, I will be even more biased going forward because the triad also started a witness over there and after little more than a month ~~we partied~~ the work truly started as we were voted in the Top 20.

## Lack of Automation is Awesome

Of course, we all know that building *your tribe*, or participating to one, matters. But in a smaller community it is awesome to discover how things still happen organically, don’t revolve around Discord servers [yet] and one actually still has too work for their rewards. Despite 50/50 creator/curator split.

There are no bots. Tokens for upvotes are ultra niche and low key over there.

Write an excellent post and be rewarded for it. Proof of brain works as intended. I know, I know... that got me frowning my brows too... I did just say that, yes. *Proof of brain*...

Here... I post, the same 3-4 followers from 2017 read it. Yet, I get +100 upvotes. If I’m lucky acid reads it too and then I ~~laugh all the way to...~~ screw that, they say we’re in a bear market.

Of course, interaction is not that difficult to obtain nor are rewards. I’ve always considered myself lucky in rewards here on Steem. If I can resist the temptation of not focusing on telling what could be better [in operation], highlighting *Steem excellence* correctly always leads to perks. To rewards I mean.

Every so often it even leads to FTG bots becoming followers again.

Trails, SBI [disguised or not as “cleanliness/influence proof”], upvotes for “right to spam”, upvotes for beneficiary...

Does it really matter what I write?

Yes, it does. If I give a flying eff about my UA score, right? Which, again, is automated SBI. Because if you steemhunt too often... the for Steem audience leaves which lowers your SBI-UA.

When was the last time you shitposted?
