As i was getting ready to write my testimonial. I fastly discovered my story was all of your stories. I wanted to quit. i felt my content wouldn't be noticed. i was concerned about nepotism on steemit. Conclaves and cliques. I wanted a system that could more fairly value my content. Just based on the content nothing else.
So one day my prayers were answered. Jonbit came along. Told me about a solution. Right off i knew this was it. This was the system that could bring a true balance to the steemit platform for the better. These were early days on Shadowbot. I'll never forget. The entire steem power in the shadowbot pool was about 19k steem power.
It didn't matter. I know when something is a good idea. It doesn't have to start off with millions of steem. I knew one day this system would be what it is today. Which is a whirlwind of success from how it started. So i've been such a great benefactor of shadowbot. I've been very lucky and thankful. Bigdeej worked hard on this project. Didn't even get paid properly or rewarded for in my opinion the greatest application to steemit.
He pushed forward anyway. Large whales and high steem power holders who joined shadowbot to help it move forward. Did it out of help to the community. They didn't just do it for money. I'm sure they could make money some place else. They do it for love of the steemit community. As well as wanting to help new users and be a real beacon of hope and achievement on the steemit platform.
So im very thankful to bigdeej and jonbit. For seeing this vision through. Shadowbot is only going to get better. It's already surpassed my hopes for it. Although i know it will go on to do even more great things. Help more steemians no the brink of quitting to just hold out one more day to success. Thanks guys for all you've done. On to dawn Shadowbot!
