I think this is a very meaningful initiative @flipstar. Resteemed, Upvoted and Followed you! I am still a beginner on Steemit and definitely still a minnow. I plan to be in Steemit for the long term and hence all the posts that I have created thus far are "100% Power Up", I have never powered down and don't plan on doing that for the near future. I was able to earn SBD because I resteem posts which I think are valuable and interesting. Other ways I earn SBD is from curation which is from upvoting content. I have upvoted my own posts before and have decreased recently and if I Get delegated the extra SP, I will make sure that I don't upvote my own posts during the period of delegation, and I will only upvote posts that are valuable and support new users post, particularly introduceyourself posts and writing them a useful comment. I mainly create drawing posts as that is what I started with initially and plan to create more valuable posts going forward which would hopefully have a positive impact on others. You can check the posts I create from time to time.
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
