Sweet of you to answer— so are you saying that my re-steeming items is diluting my own content? (Sorry, just working on figuring this all out.) I've only re-steemed a few things that I've really appreciated thus far.

Case in point: I actually did write an introduction post. It didn't do very well at all in terms of connecting me to anyone new, which is fine; I have to earn it. But I did notice that posts from scraped and flipped accounts that went gangbusters, comparatively. Going to have to watch and learn to see if time of day or whatever has a solid impact on performance. WAGH SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW.
