As a new user that has been around for a bit, I need to say that it's extremely hard to get reasonable expectations and I still can't figure out what I'm doing, I still don't fully understand what the rewards for my initial post will be, if curation has any real value for a new account and so on and so on. I wish some of the more experienced users will do some posts on what one could reasonably expect and how exactly everything is calculated. The fact that there is not just Steem but also Steem Power and Steem Dollars doesn't help either.
I actually think I'm kind of get it, but it's still relatively confusing.
On top of this, I'm not sure what the rules are.
Thanks for this valuable comment, @rocking-dave. That's exactly what I meant when talking about providing a helping hand to new users. steemit is really complex compared to other social networks, there is no doubt about that. Some of us are here since 9-10 months, and it's obvious that we perfectly know what we are talking about. But to somebody who is new, these things must sound extraordinarily strange.
Have you signed up to steemit.chat already? There are a lot of helpful communities where you can address questions of all type.
I haven't but I will, thanks for the pointer. :)
You are welcome!
