Mister @oldtimer, you have a reputation of 64, how can you be in the same position as somebody just joining Steemit? :-)

,,So the questions is - why is there so much junk on here? It finally hit me today. People are paid to post here (or at least have the hope of getting paid) so they post...and they post and they post and they post and it's mostly all just for the sake of posting. And just to be clear I think most of my posts (including this one) fall into the same category. I've considered writing a blog for years but I never did it, and now here I am posting for the sake of posting.''

You see. This is what I meant. And you try to imagine if English is not your first language. I bought my steem and enjoyed reading and curating, but I also want some ROI. But look at me now. Did you get my point? Reputation will grow anyway; eventually. It's calculated by an algorithm. Oh, and btw. Please don't call me mister. There's no need for that. Keep grinding.

Ok, i'm sorry, didn't mean to grind and i live in India where mister is meant respectfull and good. I see what you mean, i understood the post as minnow difficulty of being seen through all that junk but it was more than that, applicable to everybody. Thanks for clarifying, no offense meant!

We are in the same boat here, therefore no need for mister. I'm using that word in the same way as in India. And with grinding I meant: keep working or steem on. With my English, I often came to misunderstanding. Sorry. I didn't understand your comment like an offense.

It would had been better if you had used the quote marks to save my time from reading it again &#128540,

Well, nothing serious. Perhaps it was my personal preference. I'd have preferred if you have used the quote like:

It makes easier for me. But keep doing whatever looks good to you!

I used ,,hjghjgkg'' That's the only way I know from books.
How you did that? Can you teach me, please?

Oh, I understand you now! I know of two ways of doing it:

  1. Put the command < bolckquote> before you start your quote and end it with </ blockquote> (without any spaces in between)

  2. And this is the easier one which I prefer to use as it needs only one key to be pressed. Just key-in ">" before you begin to quote ....and that's it. This one symbol is enough. To discontinue the quote and coming back to your writing, you may need to put a couple of "Enter / Return" keys.

Hope you get it. Try it and let me know if I was not clear enough. Thanks for your interest in learning this!
