FACT: If Steemit replaced those sites (CNN, Bloomberg, The Verge) your stake would be worth over a billion dollars eventually.

I would love to be present for one of your hangouts. I don't claim to not be confused about steemit. I do however know that the science of gaining exposure on steemit is not based on the quality or integrity of content alone. The easiest response to this to shut someone up is to just suggest their content is not engaging or interesting, but I personally am on enough platforms across the web to know this is not the case for me personally or for many others. I also, based on what I do know to be true about steemit, want it to be more successful than you could ever understand. I know it's hard for you to understand just how seriously I want the platform to be successful because you have such a significant stake in the platform. But I want it to be successful, not for the value it would return me with my much smaller SP stake, but for its potential to solve issues sites like YouTube and Medium.com are failing at solving for creators. I actually made a video where I mentioned you @officialfuzzy, specifically and held you in high regard, because I have much respect for the whales like yourself that do seem to be trying to create systems that make steemit more sustainable and rewarding for all parties involved. That still doesn't change the fact that I feel personally as though I have thrown myself into discord, read actively and thoroughly for learning purposes, joined chainbb, downloaded eSteem and joined whatever other third party channel, forum or project to gain a better understanding of how to play a more influential role in the growth of this platform and gain exposure for my content and you are absolutely right, after 6 weeks on here...,

...I AM CONFUSED.

For the record, I have invested in steempower, but...

FACT: If someone can't come onto this platform and just engage freely, speak freely, think freely and curate, comment and produce content actively and eventually make a living and grow financial independence from their energy alone without investing, taking part in contests, paying randowhale, paying minnowbooster, or buying whaleshares, then a platform will come along where that is possible. Perhaps it will be the video blockchain based platform spawning out of steemit that I believe you are actually working on or maybe I am mistaken about that point, but you understand what I am saying.
