RE: Thoughts, Words and Photos (Thirty Five)
Comment well but, do not only take your time to comment on the high rep, high SP accounts. Comment well on the low rep, newbies with good content.
This is something that needs balance in my opinion. Commenting on high SP accounts is necessary for growth and to put yourself into a position where you tourself can start supporting people. In the meantime, while I am collecting that SP, i try to interact with my followers and the people in the comment section i can relate to, regardless of their SP. That's how I try to give back to others.
Like I said, it's something you have to balance and have to be critical about. But it's a very good topic to sometimes think about again.
By the way, these aere beautiful pictures you took. I love the heart-shaped flower :).
Some of the people I started with and interacted with a year ago, minnows like many others here with dust in the account are now in similar positions to me. The thing is that they were stand outs in terms of content and commenting already. It is relatively easy to see who will do well, especially if they are encouraged along the path.
Of course, balance is need but in the long term and as distribution increases, the power of the whales will decrease slightly and the many minnows will be all the more important to success.
The pics are from outside my apartment in the forest during the summer.
That's also very true. i'm in a Dutch community now where we share articles with eachother, and although we're all very wlow on SP it's motivating that we follow eachothers blogs and take the time to comment on them. It's not about the value of our votes but about letting them know we have read and are interested in what we write about. That in itself is also a big motivation for me personally. It would be awesome if some of that community could stay here for months to come and climb the ladder togheter. That must be a great feeling and accomplishment.
There is 'one day' communities coming to the UX at Steemit too. It should help a great deal in many areas.
What's the UX? :)
user experience
Really? This breakdown so touches me.
