RE: I'm and Steemit: My Journey with Steemit and Long-Term Plans for Passive Income
I partly agree with you, it was hard as we started, we paid and struggled on but... We also learned how to comment and upvote and the communities felt more close and open.
I still comment and upvote, comments included because many of those writing me write longer comments thsn the average post is. Honestly speaking I rarely see those long comments been uovoted although it looks a bit better this month.
Today I see high CSI with the newbies they already know CSI of >20 looks good but 1% of 0 is not that 0 and no sign of support. It's a fake vote, a try to make oneself look good.
It's great SC 1-9 exist but it also takes the engagement and support from Steemians away. Just like that group you arrived with they wsit till they receive an upvote.
Till today the word is spread that Steem arrives in high amounts if you post some words.

You actually made a big point here. But trust me, without them the posting will further dropped.
Back then, engagement was the only way to survive but to a large extent, those big SP holders didn’t post anything reasonable compared to what I’m seeing now.
Back then, a whale or dolphin will just come up with a picture of a chicken or flower and write maybe a line or two about what they posted…
But because we stand to benefit from comment section through upvotes… the kind of magnificent lines people will write about the flowers or chicken, even you as the writer will be amazed..
Some will even write poems under comments section just to get noticed.. it was really crazy back then…😂😂😂😂
