Hey @grizzlyadam4201 Yeah totally agree.
Yeah definitely creating good posts is the way to get noticed and just generally interacting with other people on here. But I get that sometimes people work really hard on their steemit blogs and feel disheartened when they don't progress as fast as others, I imagine those are some of the people paying him 4SBD for a resteem in the hope of more people seeing their posts, so I do feel bad for them :( haha but definitely you are right in the 'shortcuts are short lived' especially in this case :)
