Thanks for joining @adriandj90 I am glad you got to take part.  In my opinion, the best way for a newbie that joins this contest there are three ways to grow well organically: 3.) join the contest and take advantage of the upvotes and other daily prizes that come your way.  2.) Win the contest, which unfortunately with scores of deserving recipients, and with me even jumping the payout to two winners in this one, there is a low percentage that realize that victory 1.)  Then there is joining the curation trail.  Why is this so important?  This is where I do my voting.  I vote on a post, and those on steemauto vote with me.  I vote for those that are on the curation trail.  I encourage you to post once daily, and you will get the upvote from all that are on the trail.  So quite often you will post, and within 30 minutes you will 5,6,7 upvotes that are at the moment worth 0.05-0.07sbd.  While a steembasicincome membership is very nice, beginners on there start with 0.02-0.04 based on their posting patterns.  I am saying the curation trial I am running is a very shrunken down version of steembasicincome in some ways.  It's up to you, take advantage if you'd like, there is a lot of upside in having that nice cushion to post once daily and get started off organically in the right direction.

DAY 4 WINNER @andhovesyan

EXCELLENT AT SEEKING KNOWLEDGE ON THE PLATFORM--STELLAR COMMUNICATOR--GLAD TO HAVE VISITED FREQUENTLY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS ON DISCORD (cryptkeeper17 my id), A STAR IN THE MAKING.  ENJOY THE UPVOTE SIR!

That’s a great blog post @andhovesyan it’s a subject I am passionate about and it always surprises me and angers me when people I know say they don’t mind the governments and corporations of this world collecting their information as they have nothing to hide or they may say it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe and catching terrorists. What they don’t understand is that even metadata is dangerous for corporations to get hold of. For example, let’s say someone emails their mother to discuss the latest research into cancer or aids. Now if an insurance company got hold of the metadata they may see the word cancer or aids and assume you have one or the other of them or both even though you don’t. 2 years later you apply for life insurance and are surprised when you get declined and don’t get given a reason for being declined. But it’s because of that email you sent your mother 2 years ago discussing research. All of a sudden you notice your health insurance premiums which you’ve been paying for the last 20 years rise and it’s all because they assumed you have cancer or aids when you don’t. If every citizen stood up to their governments about this then maybe there would be a chance to stop it but people are just too apathetic to care because they don’t know the consequences or they think there’s nothing they can do. I really enjoyed reading your post

This is very cool if you want to do it, I was actually asking, or meant to ask for you to submit one of your posts, and check out other people's stuff as well.  This is fine, actually pretty damn creative if that's what you want to do, but you don't have to.  I don't like rules either, these are more so guidelines to ensure some level of civilization in the contest. ha, ha.
