Good article @btcsam. It does seem luck is part of the trick. Tagging properly means everything unless you follow someone. I think I'm good, then no traction whatsoever. /shrug Hopefully if I wrote something that was bad, someone would say something. I don't try to do anything fancy. I just let my heart and my passion take over.

I'm starting to think if Stephen King started and account under a pseudonym he'd be lost in the sea of junk. I getting tired of seeing copied and plagiarized articles that have been tagged as such making decent amount of money. There is one person...I really need to unfollow, he posts memes all day long with the shame line...Thank you to all of my followers.....blah blah blah. I don't see how someone can post back to back in under 5 minutes. It's just craziness.

I agree with @uapfiasco about this. The community is in a transitional stage, moving into its next phase so there are various issues.

With persistence though we'll make it through.
