I have to write up a list of issues for this place and this topic will be there. I know some big people who are actively helping and some big people that are helping in ways I don't understand so can't comment on those.
I have a theory that one 1% is evil and I don' think that will be different here. Others are either misguided, distracted, or busy elsewhere.
I found a couple of strange mean interactions with downvoting. They were old so I just looked through them. It's all over my head for the most part. I don't usually deal with people like that at all.
Overwhelmingly, people are nice here so I'm glad to suffer the learning curve.
But I don't see many of the big guys on small posts or doing a lot of interaction. Maybe they don't have time at that level, but I'm sticking with the big ones who talk frequently, clearly, and interact with the little guys. So far, so good after almost a month :)
Yes, most people on Steemit are great, and behind the scenes there are often great things happening too.
Today I'm writing a post about "the old days" (a year ago) when the post rewards were very different. Most of my posts back then earned zero, but one was upvoted by a whale to the tune of $400 - people have said a lot of bad things about that guy since, and he has done some things I disagree with, but I also know, first hand, that he does a lot of good stuff on Steemit too.
It's only in the past month that I even realised people would be asking me stuff because I'm an old timer :)
lol - teach us obi wan! This place is a killer. I take advice from people 1 day older than me :)
Me too - since last August, and I still barely have a clue
