Haha, unlike on other platforms like Fakebook, you will probably find that crazy is actually good here 😜 Funny enough, I was all ready to go with another introduction post, when that person got attention from another steemian, so I had to pick another. And then your post popped up. Now I know that this was how it's supposed to be. 🙂 I'll explain what I did. Upvoting means just that, my 100% is worth about 30 cents, not huge, but something. I resteemed the post, meaning that (some of) my 653 followers will read it too, giving it more attention. My post gives me upvotes and the liquid Steem Backed Dollar that the post brings will be transferred into your account after payout. I hope this explains it a bit. And no, you are definitely not alone with your thoughts...there are more here. Welcome again.
