Are you commenting on articles and attaching links to your posts to try and get them noticed? While it often backfires, it's an understandable desire to want people to read your work and engage with the content through commenting and dialogue.

This is a call for minnow content for my reading/voting pleasures!

When I started Steemit last summer, it was easy to keep up with the talented authors who were producing content. As a minnow, I read a lot of @stellabelle and @rok-sivante and watched @craig-grant for the first time ever (not on youtube. On Steemit) while @andrarchy explained the differences between Steem/SBD/SP in his vlog.

I could read @ericvancewalton and @michelle.gent 's fiction and keep up easily with the @markmorrisjr and @fairytalelife stories as they unfolded.

The Times They Are-a Changin'

Sure it's sad that I can't see many of those authors who once dominated my feed, on a regular basis anymore. But the reason why makes me really happy.

It's because there are so many new Steemians!

Over the last year, it's been mind numbing to consider just how many people have woken up to what Steemit offers as an alternative to the creative siphoning happening pretty much everywhere else.

I didn't notice just how deep this ocean has become, and how many amazing new authors I'm seeing produce such great work.

Don't Be Sneaky, Just Be Awesome

With HF19, the day that I've been mentally pushing off has finally come: I have voting power to issue to content and it's almost wrong of me to not use it up or at least delegate it to be used. There's too much good content here that deserves these votes.

I'm choosing to use it instead of delegate, so I need an introduction to the greater sea of new authors and content creators!

If you are a minnow who is creating awesome content, and you're looking for a dolphin who is looking for great content... Welcome home!

Let's Play

Of course, I still try to seek out my faves like @opheliafu @meesterboom and the inimitable @papa-pepper so I can vote and support their work that I love very much, but those guys are *wayyyy past me in terms of SP and I don't want to feel like I'm only voting on the established brilliant content I know is good (to me).

I want to be continually awash in the digital glow of established and new content, slowly getting a screen tan from the hours spent in only that light.

So calling all minnows! Comment and post links to your favorite minnow work, or your own work and please try to put a little commentary in there to explain why the link is good content in your opinion. It can be just a few words, it doesn't have to be an essay... and if you write nothing and just put a link, I'll probably check it out anyway ;)

Steem on! See you at the voting button!
