RE: I put my soul through the ink... introduction post
This is a really well put together introduction post @soul-thru-da-ink! And yes, it can be really hard to get started and get noticed on the platform, especially when, like you said, you see comments from people that clearly didn't bother to READ the post that you poured your soul into. The plus side is that this platform is still in beta, and the dev team is working hard to address issues like these. Contests are a good way to get started, as well as leaving meaningful comments that show people you read their post and appreciate the work they put into it. As far as the spammers, let them do their thing. They won't get any quality followers or votes going the route they are, while people like you and me are going to do very well in the long run, by putting effort into creating quality content! Thanks for the shout out, man! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to be appreciated!
on another note, do you have a Steemit.chat or a discord?
I didn't know about Steemit.chat but have just registered my account --> soul-thru-da-ink
