This post has been brewing inside me ever since I joined the group also known as #steemitbloggers. I was and still am absolutely amazed of how smoothly this group of creators operates. The next picture is how I see this brave group of creators in their fight for quality content on Steemit and other platforms.
Maybe I got just thrown on my head too many times during the wrestling practice today, but I suddenly feel like writing. I've never done this since basic school soo bear with me. Not sure if this can be characterized as #freewrite but I hope you'll like it. Here comes the....
Legend of Steemitbloggers The Power House Creatives
In the early days of uncensored blockchain-based social media, when stolen content, bots abuse and shitposts were ruling the world of Steemit, these legendary creatives stood up and fought. Lead into the battle by @jaynie, they've shown the world there also a different way. The way which honors a joy of creation above an easy buck. Sometimes the enemy tried to lure members of this group to another side. When the bearmarket and uncertainity was the strongest and combination of shitposting and bidbots seemed to be the the most efficient way, @theluvbug and @appreciator stormed the battlefield to boost the motivation of these brave creators. And the next day, the new salve of high-quality pictures, stories, music, art pieces or vlogs came out to show there's no quit in Steemitbloggers. But even then, sometimes the battle seemed to be lost and never-ending. Even @jaynie had to take some days off. These were the days when another legendary creative stepped up. His name was @zord189. Active not only on the forefront of Steemit.com but also in the dark underworld which noone can see, known as Discord. Offering extra motivation for his fellows, he ran weekly #steemitbloggers-contest and also offered unique custom signatures...but nothing lasts forever...and that applied also for Steemitbloggers...in the times, when everyone seemed to definitely lose hope, when 70% of Steemit Inc. soldiers have been left behind by their leader @ned and the world of blockchain-based social media seemed to slowly die out, Steemitbloggers decided to show example to the others and rose from their own ashes like a Fenix. Stronger, better and even more motivated - now known as The Power House Creatives. Because they will never give up. We will never give up..
Keep your comments for yourself haha, took me 2 minutes to do this photoshop masterpiece :D
Haha, that was fun, but let's be serious for a second
I really dunno what to think about that piece I've just written but it was more difficult that I remember writing to be from basic school. I guess my fantasy has died long time ago hah. Anyway, just to talk little bit more straightforward and non in this pseudo-poetic way, I'm absolutely stunned what an amazing community Steemitbloggers/The Power House Creatives are. Here are just the couple of examples from last couple of days:- @delishtreats and her STUNNING 500 STEEM Christmas giveaway!!
- @quillfire and his 25 SBD Poetic recitation contest
- @iamjadeline and her Foodmodel contests
- @simplymike with many of her Steem-bounty giveaways + also her 4 STEEM donation into my Learn & Earn Laegue
- @steemitbloggers and their collective try to get new camera for a fellow peep
Thanks for reading :) Matko.

I'm in total awe by the work that Jaynie & Zord do for the @steemitbloggers community.
I belong to a few Steem communities, and can without a doubt say that Steemit Bloggers is one of the best (if not THE best) to be part of... and I cannot wait for the evolution to PHC!
While Steem takes up the majority of my online time nowadays, my 'old' social channels are still very important from my sponsors' perspectives... and the PHC fam might just be the breath of fresh air some of those channels need.
Will keep an eye out for you once we move into our new PHC home.
Hah that's exactly what I thought about, it'll for sure help on the other platform. I'm (sadly) present exclusively only on Steemit :)
I sure enjoy being a part of this community and can't wait to see what is next. Nice write up on the group. Congrats on getting the member boost for this one.
I'm still new but yeah, it deffo is one of the best around :) How long have you been a member? Do you have a dust service running or will I waste 1 cent if I upvote ur comment ? :D
I have only been in #steemitbloggers for three or four months now so I am really new as well. I do have dustsweeper cleaning up those pennies for me, since that is really all there is anymore on here to get. It won't go to waste, thanks for asking.
Cool:) I just found out about the dust yesterday...crazy that sooo many people actually don't know about this

Yes, dustsweeper is a great tool for sure, glad you discovered it.
Nice work nephew!
Free writes are great when you have the personality and creativeness you do. I joined steemitbloggers following you lead in part and it is an awesome group.
We are huddling together to weather this storm and I am excited at the upcoming changes. Powerhouse is the perfect name for us as we are in the position to do some great stuff as things lift off again!

haha I'm blushing but thanks :D well I'm wondering what exactly those changes will be as I'm not soo active in actually any other media like here. Let's see :) Thx for commenting, sadly, since I found out about the dust, I won't be upvoting the comments anymore cuz it doesn't make sense..Here it does tho, cuz @phortun got you over the threshold hah :)
Is he your real nephew? :) You can upvote comments if people are using @dustsweeper. Do you know this service? I use it all the time and I love it! So you can upvote my comments, lol as they will upvote them above the dust threshold ;) Very clever!
PS: Thank you for the mention, Matko ;)
Wonderful post @matkodurko. I agree completely. It's one of the best groups on Steemit and the fact that they're working cross platform now too. You definitely covered everything I feel about the group.
And there are sooo many various members you don't even know about! That's kinda the thing I'd like to somehow improve..soo we know each other more...I guess it's just empty talks tho and I should joint zords weekly contest rather than talking crap here haha :D
It seems that everyone is planning for the eventual demise of Steemit. It seems inevitable.
It really changes my view of this group!
runs to get helmet and shield
I have never been good at free writing. It always starts out with good intentions but always ends up laying flat on the page without any... Yeah, I'm not good at it.
Good job! I really did enjoy the post. And thanks for list of contests.
Ren
Ahahah :D runs to get helmet and shield :DD Yupp, soo many contests just within the group :)
I'm actually not good at contests. There are so many out there and in our group that it takes time and space away from what we normally post. That aside, I get so competitive that it gets ugly! haha.

Oh hah I'm not going to choose between those two. THey're both champs!
@matkodurko,
Ah, the Spartans. Great analogy. In your photo, they are arrayed in a shield wall formation called a Phalanx. The Phalanx demonstrated to the ancient world the power of 'working as one.' To counter its effects, the Athenians had to build high walls and a navy.
Eventually, all good things come to an end and it was defeated. At the Battle of Leuctra, a brilliant Theban General named Epaminondas departed from tradition and employed history's first example of 'manoeuvre warfare' ... defeating the undefeatable and demonstrating to the ancient world that 'brains beat brawn,' even in war.
Three years later, Sparta was a shattered husk and would never recover. Strategy matters.
Both lessons need to be learned by the STEEM/Steemit Whales and Witnesses who instead march to war armed with little more than an ideology ... 'Crypto-Anarchism.' No Rulers, No Rules. Decentralization irrespective of the consequences.
History is adamant: Armies lacking great leadership ... get destroyed.
Thanks for the mention.

Man I loved reading about Spartans, Persians, Athens etc when I was younger. Peloponese war was my thing. Als Troyan war. I've read like 8 books about Odysseus as well hah :D Loved your comment :) Sadly, since I found out about the "dust" upvotes here on steemit tday, I'm not upvoting comments with one cent anymore as it doesn't get payed out :/ But thx for your input!
Could not have this better! Great to be part of SB aka PHC

Greetings and thanks for the read!
By the way, there is this @dustsweeper service that takes care of dust accumulated. You send some small amount and it returns it with what I believe are proper maths adjustments, upvoting content out of the dust.
Hmm yeah. The thing is you regularly will have to send the Steem you got for your work to take care of the dust you create? It sounds like scratching your left ear with right hand or? I guess the solution is to stop creating dust. Either these tiny upvotes I used to give or upvote above 2 cents. I mean..it might sound harsh but I don't want to pay someone to clean the mess I made myself if u know what I mean. Wondering how many people will stop showing up if I stop upvoting the comments with those tiny pennies haha :D
So I didn't explain it well. It is expected to be working in a way that you receive more than what you send.
But more importantly, it takes care of the dust others create on the comments of the subscriber. When they are almost 7 days old. It is not about your dust votes, it is about the dust votes others give you. So the receiver of the dust vote should have the subscription.., Well, maybe I am not the one to explain it. Since I am no specialist. But there's the name of the account I gave you. And the blog and the associated names of people working on it, also their Discord can be found, etc.
Oh yeah thanks for the explanation I was just googling about it. Yepp it seems it takes care of the dust I would get. I'm not really that concerned about it. My main encounter with dust is here under my posts where I used to upvote everything with 1 cent which doesn't make any sense actually :D But thanks a lot for help! :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the pseudo-poetic spiel 😁
If you wrote better than that in school.... woah!!
Yes @jaynie and @zord189 do keep it going
So proud to be part of this fam too 😊
Haha thanks! I enjoyed writing it a lot as well. I see you're new to my comment section. I used to proudly like every comment by one cent but it doesn't make sense cuz it's dust as I've just learned. Soo yeah, feels weird to just say thanks for stopping by, without upvoting the comment hah :D
Yes the dust votes
If you delegate to the @dustbunny, he cleans up after the dust votes ... there are some terms... you can check it out if you haven’t already 😊
thxx, I already did. But bought the service at @dustsweeper
Omg
My bad
That’s what I meant hahaha
You're hilarious mate haha! Looks like you never lose your active imagination once you have it! Great tale of the resistance stepping up to fight against the bid bots of bastardy - soldiers MARCH ON!!
Oh yeah, let's crush them! I was thinking of you when I added music to the list :D Sadly no more 1cent upvotes for the comments under my posts. Just learned about the concept of dust :/
Yea don't worry, keep the VP for bigger and better things 😀 thanks for thinking about this crazy fool Haha

What a way to help spread the word around. Glad to have you in the same fambam SB and soon PHC!! 👍👍😊
Oh yeah, wondering what the changes will bring :) Also, no 1cent upvote for the comments anymore as I've learned those are not payed out anyway :/ but thx for stopping by :D
Great job! I am glad I did not miss this.
Too funny the faces on the soldiers lol
Haha you can see the determination in their faces right? :D
totally haha!
What will be will be if it will be which is what I think it will be
Man I don't get these comments of yours :D:D
Study the Aardvark my dear fellow, study the Aardvark...
Love your epic story of the legend of the #steemitbloggers fam bam, but that epic photoshop masterpiece is beyond awesomesauce! LOL! Oh, and...
via GIPHY
Oh hahah that's a cool one :) Thanks :) Do you use any dust service which would upvote you comment above 2 cents if I give you one?
No, I don't but thanks anyway for the thought! 😊
Btw do you have a dust service running or will I waste 1 cent if I upvote ur comment ? :D
