Interesting read! I see you have been on steemit for some time now so thanks for the intro, it's been an intresting read. There is an upvote for you and full steem ahead!
As you are new to steemit and it can be hard for newcomers to recieve votes so you could give Steemfollower a go. This exchange lets you earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
