Hi @nanzo-scoop — really interesting post. Thanks for providing your insights into what you vote for and why. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on my situation.
I've made a couple of posts that never appeared in the "new" tab, and I'm not sure why. They didn't get any attention, but I don't know if that's because they're poor content for the site, or because no one found them.
If you could have a look at my post below and give me your opinion on whether this is valuable to Steemit and worth continuing, I'd be grateful, even if the answer is "No."

I thought Steemit would be an interesting place to announce the project and get feedback, but maybe it's the wrong sort of content. I don't want to spam people asking for opinions, but since you offered, hopefully it's okay. Thanks for your time!
I think your project looks really interesting. However you may need to verify you are who you say you are.
It may be worth doing an #introduceyourself post, explaining a bit about Chainbreaker Game Studios. Do you have a website/ twitter? Are you able to announce on those platforms that you've joined Steemit? You can do posts explaining a bit about visual novels so people have a better idea. The more you're able to convince people that you're legit and here to stay, the more chance you'll get noticed and upvotes.... Obviously nothing is guaranteed.
Keep me posted on how you get on!
I've just started to notice how much importance people on this site place on "verified" identities, which is very interesting to me, since it's so counter the standard way of doing business on most websites. I do have a domain for Chainbreaker Game Studios, but I'm still developing the site so it hasn't launched yet, and I have not previously posted on sites like Twitter and Facebook. The only place I have identities with existing history that match my identity here are on Fuwanovel and Steam.
Because I haven't been active in social media previously, except on niche sites like Fuwa, I chose Steemit for the reveal just because it's new and interesting, and because I would be able to get in at the "ground floor" so to speak. But given the reliance on existing history to prove out identity, I'm in a difficult position, given that my company has only been around a year and hasn't published a game yet. This is our first project, and the content in my post is the first time anything from the game has existed anywhere on the web. I originally thought that would be a good thing.
I suppose it makes more sense to publish first to the established user base on a site like Fuwanovel where I already understand the community, and which is looking for the type of content I posted. In retrospect, I should have done that first regardless.
Thanks for your feedback!
