The only thing preventing someone from getting somewhere is themselves. It'll take time to get the ball rolling but for many, that's time well spent. We're all business partners in a sense and it seems most want others to do well now. I'm impressed with how things are taking shape, I acknowledge the fact there's still room for improvement as well. I really don't want to see top notch performers getting left out in the cold.

I've been experimenting with curation lately. If you look at steemworld incoming curation rewards, you'll see how the biggest rewards are coming from votes I placed long after the five minute mark. That's a good sign. It means the work has longer lifespan than some had expected. There's a myth circulating that only those known to be popular will get the votes but my findings prove otherwise. That quality part is important and people are looking, voting, and being rewarded for voting whenever. I think that will improve over time as well.
