Once upon a time when one of my posts reached the trending page.
«-That was 1 year ago-»

Yeah, I know what you may be thinking now. ¿What could have induced me to write this post today? Right? Well, in fact nothing in particular. Actually, just a couple of posts from @abh12345 & @tarazkp with which I've stumbled upon a few hours ago.
The one from Asher titled: Earning cryptocurrency for up-voting or 'liking' content.
The one from Taraz titled: Steem: Looks don't matter unless you are ugly.
Where each of them share with us their own 'techniques' and perspectives as for being able to earn a whoopee handsome amount of Steem Power as Curation Rewards.
erm... I beg your pardon?¿?
«-Techniq-» what?

Yep, that was around 10pm when finally I could read those posts. After more than 20 hours in a row in which we all in Vzla have had a general blackout in the entire country and the electric energy was restored for barely a few hours before this were again intermittently interrupted for another more few hours in a row until now.
But... Yeah! I'm probably digressing.
Trending Pages, Curation Rewards, 'Liking' content, Increasing your Steem Power, To READ or not to READ, #tenkminnows, #makeaminnow and regardless if they are ugly or not... growing a Middle Class on the Steem blockchain is the main goal here. ¿Am I right?
Well, as I said before, in about almost three years I've been wandering on steemit writing & sharing my stuff here, over there and everywhere. I just was able to put a lonesome post on the trending page once. And that was in a pilgrimage season in which I was experimenting with the Bid Bots for the first and only time. And only, when I could actually afford being a little bit more daredevil & experimental with my scarce molah and hard earned stake.

It's probably been a year ago since the last non botted post reached Trending. You got to do something pretty special to get there without these days.
Soo, umm, are you just reminiscing, or going to blow this number to top spot? :D
Most probably just reminiscing. Because blow this number to top spot being just the pauper turkey of the party, is gonna require at least a pool full of redbull handy. };)
Someday I'll do something special 😂

Well, it's not even easy to me give some useful advice on this current panorama. But as something special to try, seems like just wear a pink attire with a big hello kitty on your chest and a lovely pink topknot on your mane is not enough as to upright any feat. So, look and invest at something even more reckless and extravagant to shock the wealthy whales with. };)
how cool is that having a post on trending. Disapointing the only way there now is bots.
Yep dear! those fairy tales used to start with: "Once upon a time" in english. "Aon uair" in Gaelic. And "Había una vez" in spanish.
But now, these days, all of them just end up in spanish only: "Y colorín colorao, éste cuento se ha acabao" 😆
