I've been trying to comment as much as I can because it's been a great way for me to get to know other users on the site and become part of the community. I didn't really think of it as a promotion strategy, but what you've talked about here makes a lot of sense. Thanks for taking the time to once again provide useful advice to the noobs.

Here's a post I wrote about navigating the highs and lows of being a new Steemit user. I'm not sure if other minnows will find this helpful, but they may be able to relate. 😀
