Part of me wants to use my vote to improve the content discovery on steemit.com...which is something that has been kind of broken...partially because people like me don't spend time focusing on curating certain tags like the "photography" tag.

The other part of me wants to give a leg up for people who want to make the world a better place...whatever that means where they are. (something like this)

To me both of your ideas are linked. If you could improve content discovery here that would change the lives of countless people and make the world better for them and those they love. Your example of making the world better is only possible because he has been found and is getting paid. @Sndbox is accomplishing for the same reason.

For me the answer to the question of what I would do is clear. I would make a living following my passion and helping others do the same. I want to spread liberty and abundance by supporting those in open source and voluntarist movements, and I want to help those who are less fortunate than myself.

Steem is the perfect vehicle for this. Only here can someone be payed to help others. On Steem we are outside the banksters rules. We can support people doing amazing things like the guy in your example.

From what I have seen, I think you are doing a good job so far of stewarding your SP. Not only that, but you are constantly thinking of ways you can do it more. I have no doubt that your efforts to change the world will be fruitful.

You strike me as someone who knows the meaning of Matthew 25:21. And we all would do well to keep it in mind...

“Well done, good and faithful steward, you were faithful in small things, I will put you in charge of greater things. Enter into the joy of your Master.”

Thanks for the post.
Keep Steeming!
