You need the eyes on your work. If you came to game the system, with no talent, and don't care about some sort of blogging career/hobby; I'm certain you'll end up spending way too much money trying to do that. There was a post recently published and the blogger spent ridiculous amounts of money to basically feel like a hero for a day or two. The message was clear and people saw it, but spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars to purchase those votes is stupid and set a really bad example. That's my opinion there. You can spend money to get eyes, or you can develop a solid following who will support you for free simply because they enjoy your work. Curation is incredibly important. When I'm not writing up a post, or responding to comments, I try to get out and vote as much as possible. Since people seem to enjoy my stuff, I've been able to build up a nice pile of Steempower. I like to use it to give back as much as possible.

I really appreciateyour attitude. It was this communal thought process that blew my mind when I first started reading about steemit and decided to join. It felt a little disheartening to see how the philosophy of Dan started something extraordinarily potent, but it changed as it developed and selfish interests dominated the system. With that being said though, I think if enough people post their honest selves then we will always have a balance of good and bad, and natural progression will take care of the rest and shape the platform to what it is bound to become, whatever that may be. As for my individual contribution I'm beginning to understand that all I can do is that. Be honest and create a reflection of myself and let nature take its course henceforth. Your post helped me decide to stick around! It may be an uphill battle but I'm looking forward to it! Thanks again.

I'm really glad to hear that! Thank you. Looking forward to it. No I don't expect I'll be a stranger. The sarcasm and apt profanity in your writing resonates with me.. hahahaha
