There has always been an ongoing debate on whether you want to start dishing out your best works when you first join steemit because of your low influence and visibility so your Pulitzer Prize piece might go unnoticed.

Then there are others that say after your introduceyourself post, which hopefully generated some interest for you, you should follow up with another great piece to keep people's attention. If you start doing one the many challenges out there and it is not exceptional. Chances are you would loose people's interest and you'll just be a number in their list of people they follow but not really engage.

So whales, read, encourage and mentor please (REM!), its your responsibility.

I love this concept and a lot of the whales are delegating their SP to Minnows and Dolphins because there is just too many content out there and they do need to sleep haha.

There has been a shift in the balance and power, not that big but as the platform continues to grow we will see a significant rise in the number of dolphins that engage the community.

So keep Steeming and creating content because you never really know who is out there and may chance upon your good content post and boom you are being curated and get a lot of attention, get followers and hopefully engagers and just keep building relationships and good content.

@steemitfamilyph we believe in educating new minnows who just joined with the essentials like how to write good content posts, markdown guidelines, engagement and a sense of community not just dropping their post promotion and leave.

We found that those who are engaged are the ones that eventually become successful in Steemit. Educate, Create, Upvote, Reply, Engage and Community - ECUREC is not as catchy as she did haha.
