wow, I don't know where to begin with such a long and informative post.

I haven't come across a better description of what these initiatives are trying to achieve.

I am actually delegating to @msp-creativebot already as, luckily for me, I met @sammosk in the PAL community on Discord.

I must say I still don't even fully understand how it all works, but it's easy to believe in @sammosk and want to support him. 

I think I am involved with @centrelink too, but don't think I am delegating anything there. 

Must use your resource to amend that situation with some amount of my (I agree still useless) tiny amount of steem power. 

It is certainly like tits on a bull in my power.

However, having said all that I am worried about the direction that steemit is taking, where we have to resort to being a place full of bots.

All I really want is _**human**_ interaction on my posts and I don't get much of that.

I get a certain amount of human interaction on the platform by going out and finding things to comment on.

but my posts might have 14 views, 75 votes, and be worth 1sbd, and two comments from bots. After working on them for a few hours, an a lifetime previously.
and those views are only there if I go and get on people's backs over in chat.

otherwise, whoosh, zero

and then they disappear into the _blockchain_ forever lost.

I mean, if I get it right, sometimes I can get a few comments, but it's not easy to repeat either.

Same reason as with the bots, there is too much to see, to much to comment. 
Every day I have to close some tabs (they may have been open all day) without having even read them yet. 
Maybe that's what happens to my posts too.

still I always feel it as a loss, and I am sure that sometimes it really is.

I think it's going to be strange near future on this platform as the bots swarm.

The whole power distribution thing is a little too much like the outside world for me lately.

A minnow's only real power is in the comments section, as we try and encourage each other to stick it out, and see if we can rise above the shafting.

I prefer comments to chat really, as you can be more considered.

anyhows, moving right along.

see you next time

(that's the comment I left on the linked post)

thanks for your post, although I was never that sure what godlike comments are so wrote my normal type

Entry Confirmed!
That's pretty godlike if you ask me! Well done! :)

And I recognise the frustration when you have spent hours on a post and all you get back are a few cents. I guess it is just to keep fighting and keep writing comments like yours. 

I also think it is more productive to focus on comments instead of chat, at least with limited time on hand. I was very active in PALnet when it just started but I just couldn't keep up. I felt my limited time was better spent focusing directly on the steemit platform.

I totally understand what you mean. In fact, I wrote a post a while back with an idea to support minnows, by helping them get more views and not just upvotes. One spends hours writing something they feel will work, and it probably would have, if it actually got noticed. Unfortunately, with more than 1 new post being uploaded every second, it's so easy for great content to get lost. Despite knowing this, it's still hard for me to see that my post was seen by maybe 10 people, and I can't help but take it personally. It's so easy to just give up... but seeing posts like this, I feel that there is still hope. So thank you @danielsaori!

I requested, a few whales to start an initiative and help me popularize a new hashtag, #supportbabyfish. The idea was simple, just read a few posts with that hashtag everyday and resteem just 2 worthy ones everyday. Most projects like minnowsupport or randowhale and the various other groups, helps us earn a few extra cents, but is that all we are writing for? I am not! I just want an audience who will read what I have written, if they feel my content is not worthy I am ok making no money, because I don't deserve it. But buying votes from bots, is as bad as stealing from those who are actually deserving. We are taking money from a reward pool, wheatger we deserve it or not. But I guess, till the time more people don't realize that, it is the only way to get noticed, slightly sooner. I do it as well, but at no point of time am I kidding myself that I made that money, because I deserved it. I plain and simple bought someone's vote and stole a few cents from someone else's reward. I am just hoping that soon my account will be worth a little more than 2-3$ and I won't have to do that anymore. 

Kudos @danielsaori for your effort and a great comment @spaingaroo!

great comment right back atcha.

I am not sure I fully agree, although in principal what you are saying is one hundred percent the truth

But I am not doing any of the bot things for the cents, but rather to try not to disappear so fast. 

not really working either.

lol
going to check you out, so your comment was totally worth it in that sense

That is unfortunately the way things work, so even I continue to use the MSP bots. But it always makes me feel like I'm stealing from the cookie jar ... lol!
