<html> <p>Lately I have been asking myself as question. Do I bring value to Steemit? Do the thoughts and views I bring to the forum bring any actual value to the people and the overall ecosystem? Am I just a part of stream of end noise that is piped into the system? I am starting to wonder.</p> <p><img src="https://s26.postimg.org/ostrn68ih/primate-ape-thinking-mimic.jpg" width="640" height="427"/></p> <p>I am not saying that my posts are the best, or that I have anything of value to say but many times I find myself confused as to what direction or what content is best for me to post. Some posts that should have little impact in the way of traffic get rewarded higher but others that have better content don't see the traffic. Posts that generate a lot of discussion, see little in the way of reward while other that provoke no discussion see a higher reward. Now, I am not on this to make money, would it be nice, of course, but I want to be able to bring value to the community and myself. The value to myself is getting better at writing content as well as perfecting my ideas as I would one day maybe I might write a book or something worth while. The value to the community of providing content that will draw in further users to the forum. More people to read and contribute. Do I provide that?</p> <p>How can I answer a question like that? I am not one of those that says the system is broken, I just don't know how the system really works. I don't want to sell out to make a bunch of crap content, because that is not what I want to do. I don't to shoot out content rapid fire that brings little value. I don't want to recycle content from other platforms. I try to post with ideas and content that I am interested in. I try to only resteem content that I think is valuable or interesting to the followers that I have. I try to make well thought out comments to content that I feel is valuable and upvote items that truly deserve upvotes. </p> <p>I am not looking to complain, maybe I am looking to seek guidance. Maybe I am looking to find an organic path for growth here on this platform. I am a hypocrite in many ways, I am not a huge fan of upvoting myself but I do it sometimes. I don't have the steem power to make a difference, but I do it. From here on out, I am not going to do it and save what steem power I do have for people and posts that bring value.</p> </html>

Rome was not built in a day. I am hooked to crypto therefore I talk a lot about steem and other crypto. To others it is some other stuff they are into and they post about that. Nothing wrong with you or your posts. There just not as much attention into cryptos on steemit as other sites. Not yet I feel but it will get there. Stay the course and look at how others do their posts. I am not a good example but I have seen how others have bought their way into the steemit to earn a ton. You can do the same with the right strategies. Best of luck and I am rooting for you.

Thank you for the feedback and support. I am trying to learn and I guess I am more expressing frustration with the mechanics and randomness of all of this. While it is nice if a heavy hitter just randomly upvotes a post, it doesn't give myself as the the author the correct view of what their content really means to the ecosystem of the community. I think I just needed to vent and talk out my frustrations.

Bro the next time you save some SBD do not convert it to steem. Go buy an upvote from a bot and they give back more. For instant check out @minnowbooster. Learn how to transfer SBD to the bot and get an upvote. You will grow faster that way. Not saying to always do this but it helps speed things up and make the days go by much quicker. ;)
