I am following this strategy (if we can call it that way) too, trying to leave meaningful comments or just upvoting newbies like me if I have nothing interesting to say but I liked their post.
I find it great when people leave me nice comments, and who doesn't? :-)

Also, there is a lot to curate everywhere but I feel that encouraging new users posting their first post on "introduceyourself" should be especially important.

Anyway I'm glad to find like-minded people. Thanks for this nice post and video!

Ps: also kudos to @slobberchopps, I try to read everything you post ;-)
