I agree and @papa's post a week or 10 days ago said it best..... THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHAT WORKS ON STEEMIT most of the time LOL.

If you look at the steemitwhales site and input my name, I have literally almost broke into the top 200 now in comments, as of an hour ago or so, I think I was at #207. I cannot comment much more than I do already.

I try to add value like you say when I can. Some stuff I am just not able to help on -- so I try to offer encouragement at least. We all can use more of that.

I advised one of Canada's largest real estate groups / landlording groups some solid policy advice today on Fascistbook lol, so if this were Municipal or Political / policy work forums or real estate, I could offer more lol
