I have only been at this for a couple months now so forgive my ignorance but I am so confused on how this side of Steemit works... I feel like learning to post interesting, original content was about 10% of what actually happens on Steemit. The rest of the 90%, I am learning, are services similar to this correct? Bidbots?
Is this the way to get to the trending pages? I have done it a few times but I don't know how or why it happened haha Does a platform like this help get your posts out there to share it with more people?

Thanks guys! Sorry for all the (probably silly) questions! :)
