I've seen another post about thinking like a farmer a few months ago that we curated, too. It's a really good analogy. Plant the seeds, let them grow. Too many come into Steem, see the (inflated) trending payouts and think they'll strike it rich right away. Hello, it takes work! And even if those trending payouts are inflated by bid bots, that doesn't mean a lot of work and investment wasn't put into it.
