Welcome @samseder, very nice to have you here! We appreciate you giving Steem a try and helping to grow its user base and contribute valuable content.
I know there can be a lot to learn here for newcomers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!
Yes @samseder, if you need any advice, I definitely encourage you to go with @yabapmatt . He is greatly commited to the steemit community. He is the creator of the Steemit Bot Tracker between other developments, which is a great tool to see different bids taking place for bots that upvote content. The best thought of the use of bots to get upvotes is for making real quality posts to be reached by lots of more people.
I will take this opportunity to say thanks to @yabapmatt for all his great contributions to the steem blockchain, thanks to him, the witnesses and a team of great developers, as well as the great community of smart and creative people, and the great vision of its creator @dan , is that the platform is like it is today, and the blockchain prepared to receive massive amounts of traffic and transactions.
Regards, @gold84
