This is a great idea, but please do not decline payouts on it. This is exactly the type of initiative we should be rewarding. :)
Thank you for all that you do, while never complaining.
One of the reasons this is important is I think we send a lot of mixed messages about whether or not we want to attract and retain new users.
I do alright on my other posts. I actually get a lot of automated votes and I expect this post will get those too. I really want to see more active users and not just the same old faces.
I will not vote on comments on this post as I need to build up my VP for those sub-minnows.
Yeah, that's fine vote for the minnows! I went and followed and upvoted 2 of your suggestions.
Cool. Thanks for supporting this. I'm powering up all I can so I can more for them. Also hoping to hit 72 rep this year :)
I see a shameless opportunity for self promotion.. I've been active and engaging here since mid October of 2017. I've been fortunate to have one whale that upvotes my posts with regularity but other than that my organic growth has been very slow.
My content is a bit all over the place but I'd like to think I offer some levity and refreshing perspectives to the blockchain.
I really appreciate the followers I have and the support I get, especially since I've seen others in my birth school that have had little to no growth. My intro stated my intentions to become a minnow, I have no timeline or expectations I honestly just would like some more interaction..
Anyway, sorry about the it's all about me comment. Its good to see an interest and recognition that a minnow lower middle class is vital to the ecosystem and shouldn't be that difficult to assist in the coming months.
Well it looks like you are doing the right sort of things. Somehow you need to build more of a following, but I know that can be hard.
Yes, thanks @steevc. I realise more effort on discord is probably my best bet, but TBH I feel most of the established accounts here just aren't interested in anything but their projects and their friends initiatives.
I completely get that though as Its likely a product of the high turn over rate or lack of retention which is directly related to a lack of interest in fostering small accounts that aren't trying to rub elbows with devs and politically driven accounts. It's the nature of capitalism, "what's in it for me" "I invested time and money so should they" these are the vibes I generally receive from the larger accounts..

The big guys need to realise that they need more new users if they want their investment to have a future. If Steem just stays a small club it will stagnate. My vote is fairly small, but I will do what I can.
