RE: Steemit Success, Superstition, and Operant Conditioning

I'm not sure I like being compared to a pigeon, but it's a valid analogy. Too many people hop for their treats! Humans naturally like to look for patterns. It's easy to over analyze stuff and draw false conclusions about causality. I think there's a good dollop of luck to it as well, sometimes you just happen to post at the right instant when some whale that's in a good voting mood is looking at new posts.
