Hello, Etherjay, and welcome to Steemit.

Yes, the world is changing, and let's do what we can to change it for the better. With the current global economic downturn, there will be many things that become worse, but that will allow for change.

Regarding posting on Steemit, Below are a few basic points of advice.

1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
