Pretty good list here! I've been staring at the screen for awhile, trying to think of my own additions.
The only one that comes to mind is "don't compare yourself to others". Maybe they get a $5 upvote and that makes you angry or jealous (b/c you don't get votes that big), but you don't know the background to that vote. Maybe something about the post just rang so true to a big account that they decided to reward it, maybe the poster has been networking for years and managed to befriend a big account and get on their autovote list, maybe...maybe..maybe.. points is you just don't know. Complaining about it will just make you feel bad and may annoy others, so just don't do it. Don't compare and focus on your own posts.
But that "don't compare with others" is also kind of a general life advice.
(Actually I've had some people in Blockchain Poets complain to me about not getting many big upvotes, so this is always on my mind)
Anyway, good post!

Thanks for the great comment.
Sadly, I think this happens far less than we would hope. I'm not complaining :), but it does feel like some of the bigger accounts have some other reason why they support who they do. I think it is one of those cases where "who you know" is more important than "what you know". I can't really complain about my rewards though, they are pretty decent built over close to a half decade of networking!

You're right, of course, who you know is a large part of it. No where can we see that more than on the front page of LeoFinance ;) But I think it's worthwhile being optimistic and believing that organic growth is possible. But maybe I just say that because in five years on Steemit/Hive, I've not been able to suck up to any of the big accounts enough to get their votes. haha.
I'm not even sure if sucking up is the answer. Been there, tried that and it also does not work. I really don't know what the solution is to the equation. It's a mystery that apparently only a select few know.

You must be killin' it out here!
@dbooster just slapped you with 5.000 PIMP, @bozz.
You earned 5.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 2/2 possible people today.
