I'm still new to all of this, but finding good content is like a needle in a haystack. There is a lot that is probably great, but I know nothing about cryptocurrency or blockchains, so I wouldn't know if someone is blowing smoke out of their ass.
I also have noticed that some people resteem so much I can't be bothered to search through it all to find an original thought. I guess if you get paid to resteem things it explains why so many do it.
I'll learn it all eventually. I hope.
You don't get paid to resteem. Some just resteem a lot.
There are a ton of people here interested in cryptocurrency, and a ton posting utter crap about it. I suggest you ignore it. The majority of it is crap.
It takes a while to find people that post thing that you will like. You might find a few in the first few days, but then later find that a few of them aren't posting things that you like so much. Slowly, over time, you find a group that posts stuff you like.
Finding great posts by new users, now that's a challenge and a half!
It's especially hard when you are looking at new posts in funny. So much garbage and regurgitated links and memes. Why post a link to something outside of Steemit? Kind of defeats the purpose IMHO.
I didn't know that about the resteem. I thought that was how you curate. Like I said, I'm learning.
Thanks for the lesson.
Nah, curating just means upvoting.
You upvote, and it's slightly more likely to be seen, depending on the size of your upvote, which can then get it more upvotes, etc. Although, if you upvote and resteem, if it's good enough, that's liable to get it even more upvotes. You get rewarded with SP from the post if you upvote early and it's successful. It's relatively small when you have little SP, but it increases as you get more.
