Yes, most people on Steemit are great, and behind the scenes there are often great things happening too.

Today I'm writing a post about "the old days" (a year ago) when the post rewards were very different. Most of my posts back then earned zero, but one was upvoted by a whale to the tune of $400 - people have said a lot of bad things about that guy since, and he has done some things I disagree with, but I also know, first hand, that he does a lot of good stuff on Steemit too.

It's only in the past month that I even realised people would be asking me stuff because I'm an old timer :)
