Yeah, it is a good time to be a noob on steemit. If you cannot stay engaged and motivated now - you never can.
And yes, having a following over followers is called engagement and being a part of a community.

scaredy, I hope you'll see more rewards now. I have not forgotten your question about how to make more. I do not know the secret to success of course but I hopeHF19 will do something cool for you :)
Thank you for sticking around!
Stay busy, stay working. The key to most things in life! :-) Thank you for the kind words - Steem on!
Like how you reference KRS One - Knowledge reigns supreme :D
Hell yeah, you know what I'm talking about. I've quoted Nas on steemit as well :-)
