Hahahaha. Glad it helped! I was reading one of your comments, where you said you gotta work your way up despite the changing system that exists today and suggested to go through some of your old posts to see the progression, because it was hard for the people who have been in the community for some time now to rise up in their early days as well. So I decided to go through old posts of people to learn the ropes on steam, and I came across this one. 

From my limited understanding of things, steemit has changed quite a bit since its inception. And there seems to be a lot of politics/ buying&selling of votes going around these days. I dont like the idea of having to do that to get steem power, but when I come to think of it, even if I create a lot of good content, without the support of people its hard to get traction in the beginning right? The alternative would be to curate, but with such low steem power is it worth the return to curate (only with respect to steem power, in terms of benefiting the community I think curation is really vital). What are your opinions on that?
