Hi @mindtrap

Wow I think I am able to find out something I did not know about the comment of "Byteballs" when they launched that, my reputation was 40, but little by little I have managed to get where I am.

I do not deny that I have used bots, but since I do not have much steem to pay for those bots, I do not use them, I also started to get the accounts of the performance of that payment and the payment of them and I realized that I was losing, so That was another reason not to use them anymore.

At the moment I have a reputation of 63 but it cost me a lot to get there and much more it costs when I don't get to be seen even though I give my best and much more of me in my publications. I have succeeded with many but I also fail with others, however here I will continue, steemit for me and my family changed my life for the benefit and quality, I must mention that I live in Venezuela.

But I must also recognize that this change of HF21 in my regard has been for the best, the thrill of seeing a publication of mine exceeding $ 10 is somewhat insurmountable, since my publications did not exceed 1$.

Now I can say yes, and that fills me with much happiness and also increasingly increases my reputation.

I hope to continue doing what I like inside steemit.

I send you a big fraternal hug from Venezuela.
