Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.
I really like your post, especially laying out how important it is to provide value in order to get recognized by whales. Probably will do a similar post soon.

Sure! :-)

Curating at the right time is good but upvoting to show you care about someones work is amazing. Keep up the good work and keep on steeming.
Thanks - I've done so for 1,5 years and probably will do so the next 1,5 too :D
You do the same! :D

Blimey, what hotel did you stay at? Some in Zone 4 are pretty cheap!
Ha! It was my favourite hotel (Citizen-M) and it was on top of the subway stop bringing me back to the train station next day. If I stay somewhere for 1 night I tend to go for the most convenient place so it saves me a lot of time for research - also having mobility problems I can't 'afford' cheaper hotels if they require more walking or extra taxi trips :-)
Ah OK, I didn't figure that into the equation.
It was worth every STEEM cent though! :D I had some great views from my hotel window plus their beds are amazing so I slept like a baby ;-)
great! aaaaand do you think one should be rewarded for a high score?
Right now self-voting, high frequent pseudo-posts and no communication is the most economical.
It truly is the most economical! And for now we don't know if that will ever change or if we will always see that behaviour make the most rewards. The HF21 might change that, a bit, a lot, or not at all - we'll have to wait and see.
You all are selfvoting?

no but most people do. You can check on https://steemworld.org/@wakeupkitty if an author is self-voting. I mean its not illegal, but many people abuse the self-vote. Its a way to make money. When you have 10 or 20 votes per day, you can make some money. In your case its 20cent per day/1,4 Dollar per Week and 73$ in one year. When the Steem price is high its maybe 730$/per year. For bigger accounts its 7000$ per year.
Nicht der Sinn der Sache
I did see @midlet's post. And did think about it, I think that for right now to many things to think about, so i'm in a sort of holding pattern and no drastic change pattern waiting to see what HF21 brings. I am one of those people that like and don't like change. Change for the sake of change sucks, change because of stagnation can be good, but if the reason for the stagnation is mis-construed then the change can lead to disaster. But out of disasters often times comes great change, it is the waiting that is so hard to do. To know change is coming, is fine, but to know change might be coming kind of sucks, that 'might be' part, after all HF21 may or may not happen. The did reject one HF before after all.
All that you say is true :-) Change can bring other change as well - that's the interesting part. Even a 'bad outcome' might lead to 'something better' - so that's why I tend to wait and see. Doesn't mean it sometimes gets me emotional/enthusiastic/involved/curious haha - it's a rollercoaster on here sometimes. I'm curious to see if most are going to accept HF21 - for now some are 'testing' and I know of at least one top20 witness that is in doubt about HF21. I'm going to wait it out and am sure I can adapt - and hope most others will/can too. As always I'm mostly scared for the little ones and how we can keep them motivated.
I really like this post. I have to circle back around and figure out the same thing. You ask a lot of good questions here! When I have time I shall :)
Yes! Or take one or two of the questions and write about that. I just started writing and some of these popped in my head immediately, so just freewrite and see what happens :-)
Thanks a lot @soyrosa for the mention. I have read the post in its entirety and, once again, in my opinion, you are a valuable steemian. For all the reasons you give.
I like how you put it that some users like to support more the people and not the content. The same happened to me after spending that wonderful week in Krakow last November. Bigger than that was the feeling of being amongst people that were so aligned with my way of thinking, it didn't matter I was just a minnow and most of them were orcas or whales.
Which takes me to the painful question of are you receiving too much or are they receiving too little?, and to me, the answer to the question relies on all you have done in the past that has taken yiu to this point.
In other words, you have invested in the platform and on yourself, therefore you are reaping what you deserve for the value you bring.
But then again that's just my point of view.
Wish you all the best, and please continue with the great work

Thanks @greencross - loved your post and as you can see it was still on my mind today ;-) So there's a bit of proof you're adding value to this place as well ;-) In the end we're all engaging here and talking to each other all the time so if one adds value then surely it makes someone else adds value after which someone else might perceive to receive value and so on and so on...
I'm sorry we didn't get to talk at SteemFest but maybe we have a chance this year? I was still a Minnow at SteemFest myself and never felt excluded either. That's an amazing thing, once you get offline and not perceive the Steemians just as a range of numbers (SP, REP, VP) it's just that... a bunch of people loving and engaging with the same thing.
Cheers and thanks for your post and for all the nice words above!
I love this post - Will do a similar one for my two year anniversary in a few days. :)
Thanks! Please do! Would love to read how you define/reflect on yourself :-)
(Good on you for being here for 2 years already!)
