The Steemit Blogger Central Community Is Growing Strong
The growth has been amazing on our SLACK for SBC, tons of people networking, helping each other with upvotes and follows, and as a huge thank you back to them we decided every day to spotlight one of them for their continued support of SBC. If you would like to become one of our featured members, simply join our SLACK and we will do what we can to help you.
Our Steemian of the Day is @farmstead
@farmstead has fast become one of the most active users in our Slack and a very helpful one to the whole community growing within SBC. She is a wonderful ball of energy for our community and always helpful when new users come to our Slack by helping them understand how to use our project the their benefit. We recently made @farmstead an admin of our Slack community and we are so happy she accepted our invite to be more involved with our project. This is one Steemian about helping others and one I think you should definitely follow on Steemit.
@farmstead writes some well put together blogs about her life and her love for homesteading. She provides Steemit with a wealth of information on many topics with an entertaining form that anyone could appreciate. Here is one of her most recent blogs:

She has become the true life giver to our Slack, so much energy. Here to help my friend, just hope this ends up pushing people up as intended
I think it's important to give the sliding scale to smaller accounts. The upvoting has gone down hill since HF19. People need a little control.
I agree, its really messing a lot up. Man to be dead honest...my payouts have declined so much with my personal page that I am planning on haulting use of it and maybe just focus on this. Its clear my content is not getting much attention anymore so I know when to take a breather. This is bad for Steemit, has me pretty put off with writing long form articles anymore, just isn't worth it. So I think I am only posting from this account to help others. Maybe now and then use my old personal but that is what HF19 done, its screwed it all up.
HF19 has made it more difficult. Voting is dead right now. Unless what you write is spectacular, only the current popular accounts are getting votes.
For a guy running SBC and to have 14 votes on any post is quite telling. I'm questioning whether or not I'll be able to break the code that brings steemit riches. I see similar posts to what i've put up that make bank. We may have to form a voting cartel.
That is my idea with this profile. Turn this into a voting machine lol. Prior to HF19 you seen how well I was doing, my content hasn't changed but man did it dip off bad. All week $1 posts and those are dropping as well due to that averaging system. I just don't see myself being able to run my personal profile anymore in a logical way. They always say to upvote good content so I am taking out of this that those that used to think it was good have formed buddy systems and voting each other. What I think is the issue is the VP got so crazy that no one can really spread around to all the content, they limited it too much with HF19. So I think I will just focus on SBC. I figure for now build this up seeing it at least helps others and just randomly post in my personal as a testing ground to see when it fires itself back off again. Sucks because I thought I had something but I guess I didn't lol. This could run people out of here...I know if it wasn't for SBC I probably be back to trading or something else right now.
Don't get me wrong now, I still am in it with Steemit and still a believer in its potential. I just think those that are praising HF19 right now are with more backing and it hasn't hit them yet. Just think a mistake is going on with it and HF20 best address it or this seriously will run off new users. I say this because I have a ton of them at me saying they are about to be done lol. That is not good. So all these guys saying HF19 rocks, I don't see it and lost on what they see that I am missing. I am sure in the end it will make sense. Just gonna be harder work I guess.
The impact of HF19 has been a lot easier to take than HF18! That took, for me, at $48 post down to 77 cents. The reward pool started out at nothing and had to rebuild over more than a month's time.
And before HF18, we could get over 300 votes and not even a dollar! And I had to walk 8 miles to my computer, through the deep snow, uphill - both ways, lol! ; )
People are having to figure out how to manage their voting power under HF19. Once that happens, it's going to turn out to be better, since even small accounts can see their impact from an upvote. Folks with higher SP will be able to vote all day and contribute a lot, once we figure out what percentage will allow us to not drain our voting power.
Voting cartels and agreements , in my view, don't get anything in the long run. People start posting poor quality content and others in the group just can't keep upvoting that, and certainly not resteeming it. That's been tried so much in the 10 months I've been on Steemit. There have been some self-voting guilds, but when they were found out, it sure was controversial, to say the least!
Slow growth with good content, to build real supporters - not just followers - seems better over the long run.
I'm riding unemployment till November, so I'll try to figure this whole thing out. I'm not inspired by what is happening.
Neither am I but I guess we just need to figure a way around it. I decided to shut it down with my personal page today for awhile. Powering down to keep the bills at bay and going to focus full time on this profile to grow that SP up so I can help better with everyone. If they liked my content on the personal...hate it for them because they literally pushed me out of using it with HF19 and the way the voting has been. Don't think this is encouraging people too well anymore. I figure I will return when the correct this issue.
OH YOU! Thanks!!! blush blush
Do you have a telegram channel?
No not at the moment, we use Slack for our chat area till we decide if we want to self host this on a full website. Right now its at a stage to see how it grows. Slack seems more used by the crypto developers and more user friendly due to so many crypto users have used Slack before.
Congrats @farmstead, I just found steemit blogger central has their own steemit account. Congrats and I am glad to be a apart of this community
