Im not sure where I sit in the swimming pool these days, looking over the comments accoring to @preparedwombat with over 200sp of my own I must be in that top 5% which is funny as I consider myself a plankton/minnow. I am also one of those minnows that help other minnows and have as soon as I realised the difference and learnt something about how steemit works.
We, my hubby @shai-hulud and I started the @asapers after a delegation from @hitmeasap all aimed at paying it forward and giving back to undervalued quality writers. So far we have been running for three months and have out out 46 issues featuring three minnows an issue, thats over 130 plankton helped. We then share 30% of the profits directly woth those authors. Its hinders our growth but it helps those who need it most.
I know this isn't huge in the scheme of things but its something that focuses on the issue you have identified above.
Side note: you are one of the first people that we followed upon joining Steemit and your advice about commenting on others post when you are starting out and ensuring you respond and if VP allows it upvoting them to ensure continued engagement has done wonders for my SP and followers.
P.S if you are a minnow and you got this far down to read. Do consider joining these minnow support groups. They are all doing awesome things for our community and @taskmaster4450 is correct in that there is no use complaing about it lets just do it together. I hope to see you soon.
@newbieresteemday, @newbiegames, @asapers, @greetersguild, @helpie.
The stats from @preparedwombat show how much of an early adopter EVERYONE who is on this platform is.
We are all ahead of the masses by a mile. If this thing takes off the way many of us expect, your 200 SP is going to be worth a lot at some point...
Keep doing what you are doing @insideoutlet. Focus upon growing your account consistently. Work towards that 300 SP. It might see like 100 SP now, but it might be worth $10K at some point....or even more....who knows...
We are so early in this game...
