Often times, YES!
As a content creator focusing on writing Steem Tools and how other platform works, I have written many informative articles that have been proven to be of help to planktons/minnows and even old users on the platform.
One of which and one that I am most proud of was an article about How do the Busy Bots work (busy.org and busy.pay). While there are a few others who explained it already, I think I was the first one to write a post publicly on how to compute for the Upvote Weight Percentage and Upvote worth.
Unfortunately, that post didn't get much time sitting on "Hot" so it never really reached trending. I am however still proud of that post as even weeks after, I still get some notifs from people linking my article to their posts/comments.
For someone who writes about tutorials, it's really hard to reach that coveted trending page without using bidbots as you'll never know when people will need your tutorials.
