I totally agree with you. Steemit is about the community and as far as I have seen the community being amazing Steemit's success is just a matter of time. Yet, the community cannot grow without new people joining (crazy right?!) And although their vote is almost insignificant the value they are bringing is unmeasurable.
So here take my 0,01$ Upvote! I love to show my support anyhow I can!
Feel free to check out my journey maybe you'll enjoy it. \(^-^)/
